Yep, i've though about this. In fact, one game today I decided to throw down some ots around marine res nodes. They took them down, or the comm recycled them. This was in tanith, and they relocated to a hive. I should have done that to the base chair, so thanks for reminding me of that. They can't recycle it and it's got lots of health, plus it's not relevent enough to go back through a room full of OTs or even a few, to save.
Always when marines relocate,just wait until their base is empty and snuck gorge there,he makes Rt,then put base full of OC and 1 oc near the CC,then marine commander will be whining for half-1 hour about lame aliens. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.we once done this,and no one at the marines commanded for an hour,so we got 2 hives up and then harassed them for another hour with babblers(whole team was gorge lol)

Hehe this can be very annoying for the commander but even putting the OC on the edge of it's rangeI still find that it takes the CC down in about 10 minutes. Normaly I will just paracite a stucture every few minutes to annoy the commander or chew a wall within earshot of the marine spawn to drive them nuts. The vent leading into marine spawn on Hera is a good example because it is right next to the room with the CC in <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> just sit up there in the vent chewing the wall and the marines think the CC is being attacked, best of all when the comm is looking at the marine spawn all he will be able to hear is a constant chomping coming from near to his CC.

you need to place it at the edge of range, and near a wall so most of the shots hit a wall, a well placed DC can block if you need it.

Marines have to spend excessive rescources to get rid of it (expecially if there is an alien guarding it) and if they dont, the commander is crippled.
Depending on where it is, (usually an area like processing or atmosphereic) you can usually have a WOL in front of that area that the marines have to deal with before the tower itself.
