Megafloat is the 20th mission in the original Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere and the second mission in the General Resource (I) Arc.

Briefing
''In order to reduce Neucom's production capabilities, you will carry out a night raid operation in an energy plant area. if we destroy their key microwave power plants, we will greatly reduce their war potential. However, because of radio interference in the area, missile guidance is expected to not work. You will be forced to attack directly with your gun. We believe that with your skill, that we can expect a significant military victory. -Good luck.''

Objectives
The mission's primary targets are the power plants. There are also several R-101s, R-201s, and R-701s, in addition to SAM sites and AA guns.

After the power plants are destroyed, the reactor core is exposed and becomes a target. If the player does not destroy all targets in less than five minutes, the player will earn a mission over.

Ranks

 * A: 18+ enemies destroyed.
 * B: 12-17 enemies destroyed.
 * C: 11 or less enemies destroyed.

Script
[Mission Start]

Keith Bryan: So Dision really ain't coming. Our first pairin.

(The GR unit begins their attack on the power plants)

Keith: Missiles won't lock near this facility. Use machine guns!

(When the power plants are destroyed; a cutscene plays.)

Keith: Hey, you did all right back there. Now show me what you can do without that other guy.

(Nemo soon destroys the core.)

Keith: Yo... ... you did pretty good. You should brag to the press when we get back!

[Mission ends]

We could be partners.
(Plays if all targets are destroyed in less than 5 minutes.)

Keith: Yo, partner. -Out again, huh. Well, that's cool. Good work today. We make a good team. I won't sweat it even if he skips work again. Then again, Dision's been actin' a bit weird today. You can't even guess why? Well, since it's him ... he's probably off flirtin' with a woman somewhere.

Not quite there yet.
(Plays if mission is completed in 5+ minutes.)

Keith: Hey dude ... you're watching these mails, right?! If this keeps up, even the Neucom guys will wonder if we're takin' them seriously. Put more skill into it and make them flinch. You're not givin' it all you've got yet. WILL your vulcans to strike the target. But, well ... considering Dision wasn't around, you did okay. Next time, blow 'em right out of the sky. But... Man, where's that dude slackin' off at?

Debriefing
''You succeeded in destroying the target. We've greatly disturbed Neucom's production lines.''
