always go random and play what I get.

"Marines" = "The Winning Team"

+1 to that!!
Funny thing is I have been going alien a ton in this patch. I figure if I can do somewhat decent being an alien in this patch I will be bad a$$ once 224 / 1.0 comes out. I have also been commanding aliens quite a bit as well and so far it has worked out ok.

Don't make sense, because people leave anyway. :(
I notice that the most time the alien player's just quit after they get killed one or two times.
And i have to agree with HeatSurge a bit, aliens really lose a lot of times.
I think the whole cyst system is a big problem, i mean marines can split and walk through the entire map and build rts.
If one powernode is down, no problem, just rebuild it for free.
But the alien commander have to build the whole map full of cysts and if marines clear them, the alien-com have to replace them and it cost res.
Also the same with marine cs and structures, marine's can purchase a welder, which just cost 5 res (ok, the research cost to, but its a important research, like to build a armory).
But aliens have to change lifeform and if like 7 aliens are already lerk, fade or/and onos, nobody can go gorge except the player will lost his whole res.
and to heal a hive that fast how marines did with welder, the aliens need at least more then 2 gorges.
Sure, alien structures heals automatic, but way to slow and crags seems don't work well but also cost a lot res.
As marines there is a very simple tactic, to bad not many use it, because it would show how easy is, to win and rush aliens as marines.
For example if we (marines) have jetpack about 12 minutes (most games), then i rush to a hive and shoot it, before aliens realize what happend, the hive has 80 or 50% health left.
This means one alien or two go gorge, so they have less to attack, while that i fly to another hive and on...
Marines scale so big, but aliens don't, also marines can just defend and wait to get all upgrades.
I mean its not impossible for aliens to win, but its a lot of work instead of marines.
As marine you don't have much to do, maybe killing some alien cysts and rts.
But as alien, you are forced to kill all marine rts, if you don't do this and save your res for fade or onos, your team will lose, because marines get Armor and weapon level 3, which can't be really beaten by any life form then onos.
Marines feel very powerfull right now, but you can win as aliens, it's just way more work.
A lerk could change all that, if he just have spores at start and spikes as research (which would be never researched...because sorry but it's true, totaly suck!)
But like we all know, it's a beta so just wait for next builds ;-)
