Marines are at a severe disadvantage in this situation (in Cafe), your only options are to rush.
The way the map is cut means Marines have a much more difficult time holding RTs, departures is closer to locker than cafe so marines are probably going to be on 3 RTs vs aliens on 4. Aliens can easily use the vent to kill bar, get to central access then either hit your base or cut through to landing pad or term. The bottom of the map also has plenty of places to drop a hidden tunnel.

If you're bored and want to read what everyone else has said about docking and how it should change here's the thread

I personally would like to see terminal and cafe become one as that would make me happy.
ScardyBob on page 3 of the thread had a nice idea...
I also liked Howser's idea on page 10...
and remove locker starting spawn (if that is even still a starting spawn)
ie. Caf/Depo, Term/Gen
Pro-tip #492: You can get to that gorge tunnel with a solo marine (no jetpack.)
I'll let you go figure out how.
It's possible but difficult, even more so when there's skulks or lerks trying to kill you.
Go on to the left side of the entrance tunnel, jump on the railing, then on the top of the tunnel. From there jump crouch unto the 45 degree ledge - you can just about make it.
This.
A bit showing off included
My very first yt vid...
You do realise the entire first 18 seconds of your video are redundant, as you can just jump on the small grey duplo-box from the ground with a regular jump?
Yes. That's the showing off part.
edit: First, I was just jumping around to find the right way, and then I discovered this awesome path... you can get over the whole landing pad without touching the ground. I like that
