spiders are weak at map control, since they generally have a choice between fleas (zero staying power on defence) or a spiderball (cant spread out to cover ground and still be effective).

A possible niche for the spiderlight would be as a specialised defender - somthing designed to be used in conjunction with venoms on defence but lacking the characteristics that make it a good attacker.

This might be a good oppourtunity to promote one of two characteristics. assuming it has a mid-ranged beam weapon, either of the following could work well:

gattling - a weapon that, like the gattling from Zero Hour, takes a while to spin up to its full DPS. This would be a good way to make the unit much less effective unless used with venoms (which delay attackers enough for it to spin up) and give a unit dangerous anti-heavy DPS without letting it use that DPS to hose raiders etc.
