Change Nexus hacking Gamma 9

Remove destruction of VTOLs at start of SW base being sited, instead, just protect the HQ with a force-field wave against them.

Take over chance attack happens on all difficulties with varied chances now. Commanders ignored for initial hit.

Finally, some added checks to see if the HQ was destroyed before base detection to prevent warnings.
