Further 'activations' replenish this timer, due to technical constraints this timer is not visible.
• Boomboost: No longer disables Typhoons weapon or boosts speed of nearby friendly units or disables enemy infantry weapons. Now makes friendly objects within 12 cell radius from Typhoon immune to Typhoon's pressure blast and increases Typhoon's charge up speed by 10%, in addition to still doubling Typhoon's movement speed.

• Hydra: Deploy now creates a single controllable Nanite Repair Drone that does not expire based on timer. Deploy now costs $800 to use, does not share 'ammo' with the decoy creation, instead has a visible timer for recharging which is 1 in-game minute (same time it takes to recharge all 3 'ammo'). Nanite Repair drone is now a conventional repair vehicle and does not apply armor buffs, armor strength reduced from 350 to 250.
• Nemesis: Now fills a niche of regular fighter jet instead of a bomber. Has more damage than the other factions' jets but is not strong against base defenses and does two attacks runs instead of one. Can also target aircraft like Silverarrow, but with less damage than against ground. Hitpoints reduced from 450 to 400. Cost reduced from $1700 to $1500. Weapon visual & audio effects changed.
