+Alpha 5b Test Build (12.5.2026)
+
+New Features and Major Changes:
+-Rush penalty timer for all commanders. Commanders now start with shields offline and/or penalties to weapon reload times, and must remain stationary for total of 3 minutes in order to restore full functionality.
+
+Minor Changes:
+-All standard mines changed from 1x1 footprint to 3x3, with all of the edge squares being marked as yard. This means that there is usually no need to adjust spacing, as zero spacing is now both functional and leaves enough gaps for 2x2 units to pass through.
+-All standard ground mines now do no damage to other standard ground mines. Arm Riptide submerged mines still do 25% damage to each other. GoK Jinx mines' heavy photon torpedos now do 50% damage to all mines.
+-Arm Rebel EMG now has a new firing sound.
+-Arm Falcon EMG now has a new firing sound.
+-Minor improvement to GoK Daybreak firing animation.
+
+Technical Fixes:
+-All unit script sleep time values corrected. Animations and reload times of weapons on many units were slightly wrong. Most sigificant changes are listed below...
+	-Core Titan bombast laser first shot charge up time corrected to be 1 second instead of 0.666.
+	-Core Titan bombast laser reload time corrected to be 4.5 seconds instead of 4.166.
+	-GoK Magus photon cannon first shot charge up time corrected to be 1 second instead of 0.666.
+	-GoK Magus photon cannon reload time corrected to be 4 seconds instead of 3.666.
+-Commander weapon lock duration increased to 60 seconds from 30. The usual desync duration in multiplayer seems to be around 50 seconds.
+-All floating anti-air turrets now actually have that single tic sleep in the aim scripts of their primary weapon for preventing firing both weapon variants at the same time. These three had somehow been forgotten when adding this fix for all dedicated anti-air units.
+-Arm Broadside walk animation speed increased by 25%.
+-Arm Varjag walk animation speed increased by 7.5%.
+-All Core adaptive armor ability timers after taking a hit set to maximum of 1. Many of them lasted up to 2 seconds.
+-GoK Guardian ion beamer reload time corrected to be 0.166 instead of 0.133. Reload time of 0.166 was being rounded down, and is now written as 0.167 instead.
+-GoK Daybreak starcannon reload time corrected to be 2 instead of 2.2. There was a mistake in the script that delayed firing of the second cannon array.
+-GoK Radiant missing moverate script animation added.
+
+Individual Unit Adjustments:
+-Arm Raptor rocket base damage increased to 75 from 55.
+-Arm Raptor rocket guidance removed.
