I've noticed a large drop out in the clan scene, including myself right now :/

That is also the major issue. In a proper match aliens will have 3 upgrade chambers in <1 minute. 1 or 2 chambers go up as STRAIGHT away. After that you need to meet some skulks and figure out what upgrade they have, silence, cloaking and focus are all dead give aways but it's not necessarily obvious from the first scrimmish. So you can't make a move to start countering any upgrade till about 2 minutes, by that time you're half way to fades and a second hive, maybe they'll have an early lerk too.
MC is easy to counter, MT totally owns silence and celerity, however you can't rush MT at the start of a round because if they do SC you're going to get focus owned from 30 seconds onwards and never get a foot in the door. YOU HAVE TO, REGARDLESS OF CHAMBER TAKE A1 AT THE START. You can't start teching MT 3 minutes in to counter MC, by then fades are gestating. You can't risk trying to counter straight off the back either, therefore marines are forced to play A1 still and whilst it's useful againist all chambers, A1 isn't a counter to cloaking, silence or skulks taking 35-50 bullets because of carapace.
By the time marines are in a position to counter aliens properly they're in too strong a position.

HMGs are the absolute dogs bollocks. Drop 3 hmgs + welders and if they dont get to anywhere you want them too vs skulks then they just suck and wouldn't get anywhere with anything else. 125 bullet clip 6 bullets or so to kill one skulk...

Tech: AA (first) A1, W1, PGs.
Strat: First thing you do is get AA going, once it's up you drop as many hmgs as you can, have your marines walk to the hive and demolish any skulks on the way and try and end it before they get fades.

Allowing a ninja PG to go is a total failure by the alien team. On public you obviously lack co-ordination and communication like that of clan play, however that is no excuse for laziness. Firstly, you have an amazing tool called 'parasite,' i'm sure some of you have heard of this though most neglect to use it (the number of times i've just camped somewhere and frag whored without getting pare'd once is shocking). You parasite every marine you see and there should be 7 yellow dots on your screen at all times.
You then need to use another tool called 'the minimap' and need to learn to read and understand NS gameplay. Saying you can't scout one hive because you're defending the other, and then losing the hive you didn't scout is just retarded. Have your mini map up, see where your team, see the open routes, check them yourself. It's just laziness to not do it, especially if you can bunnyhop and the only person to blame if the hive goes down is yourself.
I know in clanplay, if we get ninja pg'ed then we've done something wrong and didn't do our job. It happened the other day on ns_veil, we were totally dominating and we missed a marine sneak out WSL side and get a PG up. That was a failure on the player(s) we had scouting WSL, not the game. Don't play the blame game with your failures, learn from them. We won't get ninja pg'ed like that again (i hope!)
Aliens have recieved a serious buff this patch. If you don't believe me then watch #lessthanthree play #knife on ns_veil in b5 and see marine domination both ways. Watch it on b6 and see alien domination. Unchaining the chambers would just be a step too far.
MT is an overpowering upgrade, yes. But it's 35 res and 2 minutes worth of research time, if you rush it you can't get early a1 and you probably forfeit getting an advanced armoury too. I think removing MT from the hud and having it just on the minimap would be the best way forward. Either that, keep it on the hud but allow walking skulks to not show up, and turning skulks shouldn't be on there either. Removing it entirely though just limits the options available to marines and narrows the tech tree.

For more jumping fun. NSjumped 2 trailer in particular features some KILLER jump combos performed by n44bj, it really opens up your mind to what movement a marine is capable of doing.
HD: do your cell shaded models pass consistancy? I bet the lower res skins would help my FPS.

A marine can imitate bunnyhopping as long as he lands higher than when he first jumped. You can trick it by duck jumping as your first jump and then jumping again as you land without losing any momentum.

If it were a PCW then i use the opening minute or so to secure RTs. Once i have about 4 rts and a1 goes up then i'm looking to start pressuring alien rts. Generally 1 shotgun will be dropped to speed everything up and then I place a PG in the second hive before it goes up.
If i fail in denying second hive then i put down 3/4 shottys and welders and try and get a PG at a key junction, the rest of the team will then get hmgs and we'll push through to the hive location where the shotties take it down whilst the hmgs stop any fades.
If the PG goes up then what happens next depends a lot on the aliens. You can expect added pressure on your RTs at this time so defending them is a priority and recapping can often take several marines if their fades around. The aim is just to sit back and hold my RTs, tech up some more and hopefully kill some fades. If the aliens recap or drop a different hive then we push out and keep that whilst still holding our PG so we have something to fall back on before I push on the last hive.
My build order is: IP, ARMOURY, ARMS LAB -> A1 RT, RT, RT, RT. (Starting res gone)
Advanced armoury, a shotgun (maybe) weapons1, PG, obs.
After this i go for weapons 2 and MT asap.
Comming is a public is generally a less organised version of the above.
