and if players want to waste their pres absent-mindedly putting mines in garbage locations, they deserve what they get
Ignoring the issue of mine defusal, the way the alien comm can instantly spread infestation in bulk by dropping a ton of cysts in a line is a little strange. It's because the infestation spreads out from the cyst when it's dropped, and another cyst can be placed further out instantly before that process even finishes. I feel like it would make more sense from an immersion perspective if cysts could only be placed directly on infestation, and give them a larger radius to compensate. See creep tumors in SC2.
I'm always glad when marines get mines early, its much easier to deal with them than shotguns/adv weapons.
But if the alien commander is able to waste res to clear mines then the marines are not putting enough pressure or putting mines down in horrible positions.
+1 My vote goes for mine deactivates but is not destroyed when infestation is covering it.
And in the future I think that the infestation will be a bit more dynamic so it climbs up the walls as well, so I wouldn't resort on "don't place mines on the floor then!". That's only a temporary solution imo.

I also like the deactive part, but I think mines should be destroyed if they stay under the infestation for more than 20-60 sec. This would allow marines to save their mines if they are quick enough to take down the cyst. Also it would still be viable for commanders to bring cyst forward to disable mines for the aliens that are attacking.

Alien commander can not place cysts on walls and ceilings
