Missiles: You can fire them at your base and they are long range. However, they are very hard to make.
What you need:
1. A launch pad
2. Oil for fuel
3. Explosives (load the rocket with)

The damage will depend on how many explosives you put in. And if you put in the wrong amount of fuel, the missile can fall short, missing the target completly.
Use the radar to target and fire.

There is a mod for you with long range weapons.

I really like this idea. So tired of circling biter nests! Would really welcome a long-arm solution. I've seen the arty mode with 1,000 range but I don't like the range limitation. Would rather have a limitless range where you just put a rocket into orbit and then it just drops down a ton of TNT on a super nest complettely wiping it out.

Intercontinental ballistic missile is what we need, or just a missile defense system for my base just would be very cool and give me more of an insensitive to build rockets/explosive rockets because the rocket launcher is something that I find rather useless late game when I have destoryers.
