I have had a game on Level 14 go on long enough to get 3 radius
bombers.  They're pretty annoying, since the computer gets them
twenty turns before you do.  They nearly gave me a heart attack when I
saw a island invasion go down the tubes in one shot.

About three months ago someone told me about a SC+ 2.0 editor, where
you could edit the map and pieces.  He told me that he used to build
a radius 29 bomber which could trash most of the world.  He sent me
the file, but it arrived correpted.  If anyone has this nifty thing,
perhaps they could post it here.
