One of them appeared right next to my airfield where I had four bikes being built, when the fifth one arrived one of them hit the crate and stealthed all of them! I thought "you beauty" five stealth bikes, what an advantage (imagine the possibilities). Sure enough the great power of the PC processor deemed that I had too much power and so my mouse suddenly stopped working. Couldn't move, couldn't click, couldn't do anything. Only option left...re-boot and terminate the game. What a spew!
