Speaking of game lengths.. people should really never give up, ever. Today I was comm on hera with the aliens starting in archiving. We got some upgrades, a phase in ventilation, but we weren't holding much res. Then our base got owned and I figured, oh well, game over. By chance a marine survived in processing. We relocated there, and since we still had a phase gate in vent, and since the aliens had not put the hive up, we were basically able to lock down both hives and then win.
A lot of times sudden comebacks occur, even in the worst scenarios. Teams should never give up!!
