A mod for me to try out making custom terrain by hand, and some code experiments, some of which passed. There is also a 1:1 scale 40ft container size simulation in the Parts/Structural section.

The entire map is based on a single 100,000x100,000 size terrain. Inspired by Ace Combat 7 Mission 1, enjoy your giant croissant lads

This software includes the location MIKASHIMA STATION. Also includes two large fleets that can be attacked: a carrier strike group, and a large cargo ship escort group.

Suggested aircraft rank: Any
Canonical aircraft rank: VI

MIKASHIMA STATION is a surface resupply location on the ocean planet codenamed So-A-83-56-83. It occupies a ring of islands formed from a meteorite impact. Multiple similar impacts are detected around this ring of islands, but few of them formed any exposed land. Waters around the impact zone were sheltered and allowed for naval travel. As such, early settlement transports contained prefabricated surface ships, which were structurally almost the same as their few-century-old predecessors.

MIKASHIMA STATION takes the name of the largest island in its ring, which is designated M1 Mikashima. With the highest viable location to place a space communications device, it acts as a relay station for communications to spacecraft. With a lot of free space, it also has a landing strip for small and medium landing craft, and a refuelling station for naval ships. However, there is no housing except within small research outposts.

When not refuelling vehicles, MIKASHIMA STATION researches the past of its islands.

CargoConvoyMonitor.cs/CSGMonitor.cs: [Modified from NathanMikeska's Combat Challenges] Displays the number of ships in each fleet destroyed. Nothing special.

CargoConvoyTurretMover.cs: Demonstrates how to move missile and laser defense turrets along a custom heading using Quaternion.Euler, such that they follow a fleet. Not sure if the roundabout method used is needed. However, turrets stay operational even after their host ships are sunk. Each missile launcher must have a unique name.

CSGTurretMover.cs: Demonstrates how to move missile and laser defense turrets along a world axis using a built-in Vector3 value, such that they follow a fleet. Not sure if the roundabout method used is needed. However, turrets stay operational even after their host ships are sunk. Each missile launcher must have a unique name.

ContainerHeightmapTest.png: Simulates a corrugated texture on the few containers littered around the map. However, SimplePlanes doesn't like to render it, and treats the material as flat, unless when viewing the containers from specific distances and angles.

Known Issues
- Carrier strike group missile launcher locations are broken on locations created by the player.
