[Broken] ZG ChriiRock SkyFish (VTOL)

Super-fun and nimble VTOL that can quickly wreck any enemy. Affordable, cruises at 100mph and can be anchored as a turret to recharge! Odd looking arms of Hover Steers (front and top) are currently needed to give it correct controls in the air (without using the 'hover-bug'). Rockfarmer, who first used this kind of VTOL control system, said I could "Fulcrum" steering (I think).

► Licences: Hawkeye 3, Venture 3, GSO 2, GeoCorp 1.

• Top example of the VTOLs collection.
• More heavily armed variant: Killing Time VTOL.
• Chrii_the_Vieh's original tech this is based on.


► Notes:

It's an overhaul of this tech by Chrii_the_Vieh (later modified by Rockfarmer, in his VTOL competition): https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/contest-is-over-vtol-challenge-now-with-a-first-prize.9059/page-2#post-55711

I dropped a few missile launchers to free up weight for landing gear, batteries plus shield regen bubbles, while retaining it's awesome manoeuvrability. So this will now take rough landings and a couple hits from a Megaton canon. It will also drive pretty well on the ground too.

It has 8 HE Cruise missiles, 6 HE Seeker Pods and I added 2 downwards facing Avalanche launchers, for follow up damage on techs crippled by the main weapons on a single fly past.

Turns fastest while pulling back (with [S] key).
