sounds pretty amazing, but i think it should be something to build. The Aliens can make a morph chamber for 999 res and then a Giant Alien (worm) could be morphed and the marines get an message (or alarm) that there is a big alien coming. And they have 2-5 mins to destroy the morph chamber. The marines should build a nuclear homing missle launcher. Which unless the aliens won´t destroy it in time, will kill all aliens. And of course they will get a message/alarm too.
Could use ths res system like a count down timer First to team 999TR Count down starts using your teams res as the counter counting backward till 0 first team to 0 loses.
The problem: End-game being impossible to end because of too many defence structures and a good defending team while the other team owns the entire map.
Solution: an elegant way to declare victory to the attacking team.
A Superunit or nuke isn't going to give much satisfaction, since it just ends the game with a one-shot upgrade.
my idea: An expensive structure that needs to be upgraded from a hive or cc (so the team really must own more of the map then just their base).
For marines: Support Ship transmitter: the support ship finaly arrives and sends the best and best equipped marines through the infantry portals. For aliens: Colonisation: The hivemind knows that it's time to finish the colonisation of the base.
What do those 2 do?: When build it gives the team a high lifeform upon respawn + it makes respawning instant + it gives that lifeform an extremely quick regeneration.
So for marines all marines will spawn with exos, and all aliens as fade. Creating a huge amount of pressure on the defending team, hopefully ending the stalemate.
I know tier-3 units make this idea pretty redundant, just wanted to share my idea.

DO EET!
I always wished there was a snake/eel like alien in NS!
That's what the Onos is there for. So we might see more of this kind of game stalemates until HA/Onos are finished.
OMG I remember that game on Sega, was my first RTS and I fell in luv :D.
