How come Marines have to have TF, and Why cant Aliens have TF too, or Marines NOT have TF, I dont think it is very fair because it can get annoying having to Drop a TF then Wait for it to bulid then have to Drop turrets while the aliens are droping offensive chambers every where and there is nothing we can do about it, we just gotta take them out one by one (Unless we get seige but then we gotta go thu the TF process again...)

1) marine buildings can be repaired by any marine with a 10RP welder. Aliens must spend 13 and evolve to gorge, which takes time and costs them one attacking player. Or they must set up at least one DC, which costs 14.
2) Aliens are limited to 6 of any chamber type in an area; marines are not.
3) Offensive Chambers are much less effective than sentry turrets, requiring numbers, DC support, and webbing.
4) Marines can remove alien structures with siege turrets; aliens have no equivalent.
5) Sentry turrets can be upgraded to do more damage.
All of these are balanced by the fact that you must first build a turret factory, and destroying that factory will disable all nearby turrets.
Right now TFacs are pretty damn expensive and are therefore often ignored. I'd much rather upgrade the marines' weapons or armor instead of building a Tfac (but after a phase gate)
