Umbra putting out flamethrowers would be awesome. It would encourage commanders to actually build and use crags, making sure one is readily available near all important points.
Right now one of the aliens' biggest flaws is I never see alien comms building chambers. This would be awesome as a counter and as incentive.
I think Crags and Shifts will make great combos vs. Flamethrowers if Umbra can put out fires and prevent burning. Use Umbra to deter and hamper the flaming marines and Energize to quickly replenish lifeform energy.
I just want to say, I don't think umbra should completely render flame throwers useless. It should only put out flames, stop new ones from starting, and make the power and size of the flamethrower smaller, but marines still should be able to defend themselves to a degree. No player wants to feel like they have no control at all.

I would build more chambers if my drifters could actually pathfind...
