But instead you offer xenos the notorious queen beacon, which is very situational, can wipe out the entire hive and gives almost nothing in the long run. Marines have interesting techs with meaningful choices but majority of xenos techs are situational abilities or structures that depend on certain castes (hivelords and drones - If they bad, said techs will be useless for the hive).
