Net

The Net is useful early in the game, for capturing a Chestburster that has been stunned by a Shock Tube and bringing it to the Main Airlock. Due to the Net's unwieldiness, a crewmember carrying it may carry no other Equipment. A crewmember may not pick up the Chestburster without the Net.

If the Chestburster shakes off its stun while contained in the Net, it will burn its way out using its body acids and be able to move normally that turn. Time is of the essence when transporting the Chestburster in a Net.

The Net is of no use against the Robot or the Alien. Also, it is technically not possible to capture Jones in the Net, for a crewmember carrying Jones may carry no other Equipment. The same result is achieved by dropping the net and picking up the cat by hand, however.
