Could the timer not be done as DisplayTimeText(JOIN_AS_FACEHUGGER_DELAY)?

Same for the lesser drone timer

I am fine with an increased lesser drone delay.
I do not think we need to make face huggers spawn faster when they already can spawn instantly if they successfully hug.

Try using DisplayTimeText as Beagle had suggested.

About the pull request
Explain why it's good for the game
Total changes:
pt 1: Facehugger respawn time reduced from 3 minutes to 1 minute
Pt 2: Lesser drone respawn time upped from 30 seconds to 1 minute
Right now people spam out lessers because 30 seconds respawn time and people who would go hugger don’t want to wait out the 3 minute time on something that can die to a stray bullet so they just go lesser instead.
This change would make dedicated lesser players less annoying from near instant respawning -> tunnel to frontline and while making dying to a stray bullet from 3 screens away as hugger way less frustrating.
