I personally think that this is a fair change for the gameplay, as it makes aliens more dependant on the buildings *(even in SD, even if OM can be rebuilt) without taking their usual regen away in a usual time.
The coding part is 1 line :
if( client->ps.stats[ STAT_PTEAM ] == PTE_ALIENS &&
level.surrenderTeam != PTE_ALIENS)
to
if( client->ps.stats[ STAT_PTEAM ] == PTE_ALIENS &&
level.surrenderTeam != PTE_ALIENS && level.overmindPresent)
in g_active.c
But as it has shown, this prevents the usual case of a "1 homeless tyr with 6 naked rifles and base", and generally gives more motivation for the aliens to keep their base safe.
Any comments are welcome
