Ship Rendering Improvements

Generate an environment cubemap dynamically and apply it to the ship.

• This can be expensive, rendering a (subset?) scene 6 times.
• Need to avoid updating the terrain when rendering multiple times.

Also Allow a ship to specify a detail texture map and use it to fake surface details.

• Do we want more than one detail map (texture array?) controlled by a diffuse channel?
• When and where will it be seen?
• Is it worth using up another texture slot?

NB: Most/all of these would apply to anything using the multi shader type, which is a lot.

Environment Map Generation:

So far the hardest part is setting up the cameras and their contexts for the 6 views I need.
I wouldn't have bothered but I want them to follow the players position and orientation for when I generate the views. Once this front loaded effort is done though I can get one with seeing how it performs doing these 6 extra views.

Or how about Spherical Harmonics for ships/stations?
