Uhmh... (yes I actually made a noise like that while thinking about what
to say about this :) )... Making the missile taller in any way would be
very difficult, especially during the invaders kernel.

The original had a forced delay between shots, which I approximated in
this version. The best way to handle this might be to eliminate the
delay (yeah, that part is a big mess too :) ), but keep the explosion - as
soon as the explosion is done, let the player fire again. And keep the
difficulty switch toggle between auto and manual fire if possible, cause I
like that :)
