The last few builds it was a little bit frustrating with the egg spawn system. 2 marines take down all eggs and you can nothing do against it. So a few things come to my mind. The Swarm Hive :-) with its support structure the lair.
The lair has a abillity to pop out something like eggs where dead aliens where spawned instantly to help defend. This abillity should cost 15res and should have a cooldown about 60sec or greater. The second abillity could be that in an area around the lair,where pores can grow on infestation, which can spray gas wich doesnt hurt them but when they stay to long in it, they get a black out for 5sec and lie on the floor like after stomp.
The perks can be involved in the Burrow ( or other names :-P).
Perks:
1. Metabolism, Aliens were able to lay there own private egg where they want. They coul only lay one until they die. This could be a nice counter for the pg map control and works like the beacon from bf3
2. Swarm (or Swarm Mind), when an alien where shot, the marine who kills it got marked for a short period and recieved more damage.
3. Swarm Defender, the Alien gets a Boost in Amor, HP and Attackrate whean on infestaion, but on normal ground he has less HP, Amor and Attack as normal. A Reason more why Marines should take out cysts and infestation :-)

And with that, it has been done :)
Though 3. may need a bit of adjusting, I feel like it may "force" people into defense easily and putting cysts offensively isn't always possible. Sounds like a great gorge upgrade though.
