USASF Point Loma

[cuberound]

About the Pull Request

This adds USASF Point Loma - a desert-terrain mountainous airbase by the sea. It houses Alpha-Tech Hardware Research Facility, an underground lab dedicated to researching, operating and maintaining a newly reverse-engineered ABP-33 Orbital Defense Cannon.

the top Z level is an airbase ran by the US Aerospace Force and AlphaTech Hardware Corporation, with a small mining outpost to the south-east and south where the base is being expanded by an AlphaTech Hardware Corporation. It is positioned on a cliffside.

The Bottom Z Level is the Research Facility ran by AlphaTech Hardware Corporation, overseeing the experimental air defense that is in the colony.

The Super Experimental Death Gun has shot down a UFO (Predator Ship) who's chunks are scattered across the airfield, causing several sinkholes across the airfield, which is how the xeno infestation has started.

This map differs from others by focusing the gameplay on an overground/underground section that is equally accessible to both sides. The goal is, at no point should one side be able to siege the other from the top level. The backline should, as a result, remain always threatening leading to fun gameplay for front and backline players.

This map also adds the US Aerospace Forces, drawn primarily by Itus with sprites ported from PVE, their general makeup being inspired by the 80s Cold War airforce. They are represented by the motley crew of Airbase Ground Crew who are stranded planetside awaiting rescue.

Explain why it's good for the game

More maps is better, Multi-Z maps are good too. USASF is cool.
