maybe you should devide the Marine Points by three for the three squads and set it to the starting set of a marine squad (1 Commander, 1 Lightweapon, 3 Heavy Weapons) so you'll get 45 points

then take the basic orders and equipment: 1 order and 4 equipment cards at startup and give them values too:

1 order 10 pts.
1 equipment 5 pts.

this will give us another 25 pts.

so a marine player gets 45 + 25 = 70 pts. at startup

each honor marker adds 5 points to his points pool
each rank adds 10 points to his points pool

so the maximum woul bei rank 5(minus 1 Rank for starting rank) with 4 honor markers this gives us a maximum of 4x5 + 4x10 = 60 points

this plus the squad points would give us 130 points (all without the extra marines and tarantula from mission dreadnought)

so a newly marine player gets 70 pts and can buy orders, equipment and marines with it, example:

1 commander 10 pts.
1 Heavy Weapon 10 pts.
3 Light Weapons 15 pts.

leaves us with 70 minus 35 = 45 points for which he could buy 2 orders and 5 equipment cards

i think the super heavy weopons from mission dreadnought should get a value of 15 points (10 without the marine)
the tarantula 20 points

if we would add this values to a squad, then we add 1 tarantula 20 + 2 marines 10 pts. (light 5pts each) the base option to have 3 super heavy weapons which gives aus another 30 points extra = 60 points

this 60 point could be handled in tqo ways, first, add them to the starting points for a newly marine squad, if mission dreadnought is availble ( i wouldn't prefer this method, because it gives not much room to 'level up' later)
second method: add them to the maximum of 130 points for a total of 190 points...

with the second method, the way up to maximum is a bit longer, but i might make more fun, cause you have a span from 70 points up to 190 points. that are 120 points to grow in power, maybe 12 levels with 10 points each...

and if you want to give a marine squad the very hard way, reduce the starting points by 10 to 60 points, in assumption, that a new player starts with a squad of 3 light weapons, 1 hevy weapon and a commander
