Now it's time for you, the players, to give me some ideas for some installations to recreate offshore or otherwise. Whether its an oil rig design, an ocean liner, a base sticking out of a mountain, or a recreation of the Just Cause 3 Stingray Area, the floor is open to you to suggest things to go in this map. Go wild! (but keep it doable please)

Breaking News: Primevan Vessel Disappears!

On the morning of Oct. 24, 2066, the Primevan Shard Class Corvette, MRK-1015 Adm. Ruvichenko, was assigned to a patrol mission in the vicinity of a major electrical storm from the nearby Harmony Sands NAS. Despite the Shard Class Corvette being able to handle a fair amount of foul weather, it did not return from its mission. The PALA Commissar of the Navy declared all hands presumed dead. The image below was the only recoverable footage sent to Harmony Sands moments before the ship disappeared:

"They were doing research on uh... weather and electricity. Rumor has it, they were trying to... control lightning..."

The Stingray Central Labratory, the crown jewel of the Stingray program, is now fully built and useable in the map. It features withering in various points, helipads dotted around used for resupplying and other matters back in Stingray's heyday...

#

...and even a little surface dock for boats to deliver personnel and supplies

#

Additionally, i've completed 2/5 of the surrounding Sattelite Stations. Here's SS Farad:

#

And here's SS Pascal:

#

The remaining Sattelite Stations, Joule, Coulomb, and Henry will be built when I have time. And maybe i'll even build something extra into the Stingray Area to increase its usability...

<< All this damage from four planes!? How is this possible?! >>

The Scinfaxi (or, at least, a very scuffed recreation of it) has surfaced in the waters of Ignus. It carries anti-aircraft guns, VTOL aircraft, and enough ballistic missiles to destroy multiple Osean carrier battle groups.

On top of all that, it's completely spawnable. Just, y'know, don't spawn anything that isn't VTOL.
