Beta Patch 3

This week's patch is a bit more laid back. It's a smaller change but still (surprisingly) gives a small boost to the Terrans and another small nerf to the Protoss in the form of a 10 HP reduction in the unit's shields. The Terran received across the board reductions in the upgrade times for its infantry and vehicle and ship upgrades (all the upgrade times were reduced by 30 seconds). This is a significant boost since in StarCraft 2 a +1 attack upgrade gives a +5 attack bonus. That means +2 would give every unit affected a +10 damage boost.

There are also some bug fixes including a correction to Reaper pathing.
