Ion in disarmable phase

Nuclear Strike Beacon

Nuke in disarmable phase
Bought beacons take 4 seconds to deploy. During this time the player deploying beacon is completely defenceless, giving enemy an opportunity to kill him even before the threat of a deployed beacon becomes real. Similiarly, if the player is pushed by friendly vehicle during this time he stands up and has to start the deployment all over again.
If however player does manage to deploy the beacon, it enters a locking-on phase lasting 50 seconds. Enemy team has to disarm the beacon with Repair Gun or Repair Tool to safely avert the danger during this time.
WARNING! EVAs countdown will refer to actual Ion Strike/ Nuclear explosion. During last 10 seconds of the countdown the beacon becomes disarmable, and the Superweapon strike effect sequence is started.
