Tweaks

• Decreased the time it takes to capture a control point from 10 seconds to 7 seconds.
• Changed how the Warriors Venom Cannon reloads, should prevent those awkward "jams".
• Added a reload sound to Barbed Stranger weapon when it's projectile has been killed.
• New version of the tutorial, now with a working firing range.

Balance

• Increased the cost of Dreadnaught and Carnifex classes to make them even rarer.
• Increased the cost of Heavy and Terminator classes to make them rarer.

The widespread changes in last weeks alpha certainly made an improvement.  This week's tweaks are intended to balance out the extremes.
