Sweet spot 5v5-6v6 on most maps. Most of the testing can be done with these numbers, that is a competetive game range.

However not everyone will agree so it should be playable with 4v4 on a smaller map and playable in up to a 10v10 on a very large map. If a few players per team, in either direction, breaks the balance horribly something needs to be rebalanced. It means the special abilities are out of whack IMHO. The melee (alien) team in particular needs a gimmick to give them strength in numbers, to counter ranged damage and concentrated fire, as the team size increases.

Maybe they could get a small bonus for each teammate within a certain range. That would encourage attacking as a group, and it would help negate spam from humans. Ofc, it could also screw with the 'strong individual' aspect of the game.
