Hmm, have to say, we'd have to see how it works out with the alien team getting NO res except for those gained from kills when they have no res towers, the prospect of that seems to be a game-deciding factor, and in my mind it doesn't sound all that difficult to go take out the aliens initial res towers.
The principle might involve sending out a pair of sneaky marines to the alien's spawn hive to take out that res node, and then if any other res has gone up shortly thereafter, that one as well.
In my mind at least, with no res flow, this'd effectively cripple the aliens o.O
The theory behind it and the reality of in-game play are two different matters however, so we'll have to see how this one plays out.
