the sists that gorges and the alien commander can put down are pretty boring and have no real function other then a building area.
my suggestion is to put in an upgrade the commander can research that gives the sists a damage function.
how this works is simple. once upgraded there would be small tentacles in the green stuff the signifies the upgrade and when a marine steps on it they take 1 point of damage every 5 seconds until they get off of the green stuff. this encourages more use of the sists and also makes the fight more of a front line and encourages the marines to kill the sists more often. this damage should stack individually with each sist. in effect stacking sists on top of each other they each do their damage separately which makes them more of a threat.

Although regarding Mini-Cysts, would be nice if Gorge can blow them up, too :P
But who knows, maybe the Cyst upgrading idea can involve passive damage around the upgraded/mature Cyst, as well.
And act as a parasite to all marines standing on it, allowing you to know about enemy movements.
The <i>cysts</i> are already useful enough with some planned features like faster movement apparently on the way.
+1 to give cyst upgrades.
