How about for AvD, defense engineers, instead of building the current SG, build a "Defense Turret" which looks very different and has approximately the same stats as the FF 1.11 SG?

I know the idea of changing the SG's behaviour across gamemodes has been objected to in the past on the grounds of providing a consistent experience, but if it looks totally different and you include highly visible, concise information saying how it's different, there should be no problem. Besides, that small issue would be outweighed by the fact that AvD would become considerably more fun, and whether you like it or not, an awful lot of pub games are AvD. If people have fun, they are more likely to continue playing.

I think this would be the ideal solution, as it removes the oft-repeated issue that balancing the SG for one gamemode will unbalance it for another.
