## Description

This is an aircraft carrier with a full collision volume that allows you to place buildings and blueprints on its deck.
 This aircraft carrier is fully controllable; you can steer it to any location on the map.
 It also includes a feature that instantly teleports Kevin to your location; you can disable this feature and the driving function in the settings.
 You can choose from five preset aircraft carrier spawn locations. You can also save them to any location.

 Press the ‘+’ key on the numeric keypad to be teleport to the aircraft carrier's control tower.
 Use WASD to move horizontally, Q and E to rotate the aircraft carrier, and Page Up and Page Down to ascend or descend.
 Press the ‘+’ key on the numeric keypad a second time to exit drive mode.

 Press the “K” key to teleport Kevin 1.5 meters in front of your viewpoint.
 I had originally planned to teleport Virginia, but she uses an extremely complex LOD system. Forcing teleport her would cause a lot of problems.
 Since someone has already implemented this feature, you can disable it in the settings to ensure compatibility with other mods.

 Press the ‘-’ key on the numeric keypad to select one of the five preset locations for the aircraft carrier.
 It comes with five user-defined locations. You can drive the aircraft carrier to your preferred location and save those coordinates.
 Mod will remember the location of your aircraft carrier, including custom locations.
