fewer rank points on match loss

rank points in order to accelerate their progress toward a more
appropriate rank

- Requires mouse input mode on the scoreboard (see Adv. Options)

and Linus S., aka PistonMiner, for this report)
- Fixed an issue with The Righteous Bison and Pomson 5000 hit detection
where projectiles were being removed when colliding with invisible entities

reduced damage against buildings)

players could surf on (thanks Photon)
- Adjusted height of 'tank' in L room behind 2nd control point

indicate collision
