Some units can airdrop without using any movement points (drop shock troops and all automatically generated units). Useful for exploring (bounce around, take the damage, go back to base and recover for the next turn).

Some units can airdrop when they have no movement points left - drop formers, for ex, use points to airdrop and move the focus on to the next unit, but you can reselect them and have them airdrop again.

Some units return to full health and full move after taking over an enemy city. Noticed predominantly with the locusts. (do they eat that unit of pop?).

Now for the not so perk ones -
can't select build tubes or build tubes to from the right click menu (after the akbility is available). The options are there, but not selectable. Can build tubes to location using ctrl-t.

If a copter bombs all the units in a city, it will lose its "B" (bombing) and go to "-" (no orders) while sitting outside the city. It will not crash.

If a copter is waiting in a friendly city, and all the units in the target city get destroyed, the copter will keep it's "B", but just sit around, even after you take over the target city.

I'm going to pick up the v2.0 soon (running a 14.4 means they take a bit, but it looks nice and small). I'll be seeing if these hang out - not that I mind the perks!
