What should playing Unvanq. *feel* like?

Hey everyone,
I'm an old-time Tremulous player (not particulary good :P) - though I guess most have seen me from the Unv - IRC channel by now (or perhaps in game - Super Dupont saw me stumble around as a Granger yesterday evening :P ).
Anyway - long story short, I'm really keen on seeing a game with elements from Trem, and I'm already having fun with Unvanquished. A big question that has sprung up for me though is what people (I guess especially you devs, but also anyone in general) would like the game to feel + play like?
I guess I'm asking, because from experience with other games, people often discuss balance or mechanics, but I feel often the disagreement is more fundamental ( -> or put differently, it would be easier - and perhaps important! - to get a clear idea on the fundamental vision first). So - how do you want to feel when you're playing the game on the Human team, how should it feel on the Alien team? What kind of dynamics would you like to see for an average game ?
P.S. I have my opinions, and happy to share (have already on IRC :P), but I'll wait for replies first here.
P.P.S. - thanks to Illwieckz for "unblocking" my IP :P !
