#C A period 128 p32 ship gun.
#C This uses the period 128 "nova" rocket gun whose output is converted
#C into p32 ships using four period 8 spark oscillators.  Removing one or
#C both of the small p8 oscillators near the nova (and possibly shifting
#C the four spark oscillators right by 20 cells) results in period 256
#C and period 512 p32 ship guns.
