Just a thought here. Since Gorges right now are not really feeling the love they did in NS1 due to having a significantly smaller role in the construction and grand strategy. I was just racking my brain for traits they could have to make them more inviting to play. How about a 'Devour' skill then?
If a Marine dies his weapon drops to the ground. Which can then be reclaimed by other Marines and even given back if they are being friendly. Well seeing as how Gorges are already the Piggies of NS2 why not let them 'eat' any dropped weapons so that the Marines cannot get them back? I would suggest it just be a context sensitive prompt whenever you get close enough. Bile Bomb technically would melt the metal and could be used as the medium of weapon disposal but I think that is almost too good given you can use Bile Bomb from a long distance and it has large AoE.
The Devour ablity along with the Webs that might be coming should be enough to promote more Gorge play out player enjoyment of the class instead of mandation for the good of the team.

Previous thread on this idea had quite a few pages and endorsements.
Would add a nice strategic meta-game.
