“The Zeus” Gunship
It was the first mass produced aircraft by the Syndicate after the great unification. It’s design is untraditional, with the main engine in the very middle of the craft. Even with this design however, the plane has VTOL capability.

This plane is too large to land on the Befanas, but they can be serviced near Befanas because these craft are buoyant and can take off and land on water(yes, even in VTOL)

They do not have traditional landing gear, so please be advised that you can only land in VTOL form or simply crashland into the water.

Controls:

VTOL slider: orient the main engine
AG1: VTOL mode, the same 2D VTOL system.
AG2: Afterburner/auxillary/cruise engines
AG3: Fuel probe
AG7: Night Formation Lights

Take-Off:
Activate 1 and Throttle above 50%, slowly move the VTOL slider down, once up to speed, turn off 1 and pitch up.

Water Takeoff:
Activate 1 and Throttle above 50%, take off in the same fashion as normal takeoff.

Landing:
Slow down, turn on AG1, and then use the air brakes to slow down further, land down slowly.

The craft is very heavy with its armaments, if you want to fly Casually, or patrol with just the missile pods, remove the cleavers, they're 1,300 kilograms each.

Armaments:
22 HIVE SWARMER V3.5
2 100mm Cannons
2 galaxy standard Miniguns
4 Supersonic General Use missiles

This gunship aims it's guns using the Gun camera. Thank you to @RoastHam9146 for the Camera aiming.

On a quiet night a week after the Reunification, a transmission between two people started.

D: Nice night.. is it not?

P: Yeah... I guess so, what do you need, boss?

D: come to the headquarters. No mask.

P: what? Why?

D: we've decided youre one of us.

P: really? But I'm not pure blood..

D: you and your work has gotten us this far. This is the most peaceful week we've had since the Federation abandoned us. You deserve the recognition

P: my work was pathetic, most of them were merely support to the insane network you guys already had

D: remember your wolf Hounds? Those things helped feed an entire city. I don't wanna waste my time arguing with your self pity. You got more work to do.

P: alright boss... What do you need done?

D: The federation has agreed to letting the syndicate be a seperate entity the space between us and then are too unstable anyway for them to recapture us.

P: what does this have to do with us?

D: if it's not violence, it's money. You know that already.

P: and?

D: we want you to design something. multiple variant Job.

P: what type of standards are we following?

D: Galaxy standard

P: Welp.. that's gonna take a bit.. what type of variant do you want first?

D: you're choice. We mainly need 2, a Gunship and a Troop transport.

P: I'll get started.. see you guys tomorrow...

I said there was gonna be 2 variants, but I'm actually planning on working on 3 more or 4 more.

More from me soon, next one is the Troop transport version
