DFS 'Hakai' Carpet Bomber Drone

Description
Note: The Hakai is a little 'quirky' due to the large amount of piston glitching. If it flies tilted to one side or if it behaves strangely, repair the craft or respawn. That should fix any issues. Do not, however, mistake the tilting while turning as a glitch. Only if the craft flies tilted while going in a straight line should you repair it.
--------------------------------------------------
CONTROLS:
Standard WASD drone controls (no strafing)
Space: up
Left shift: down
RMB: rockets
LMB: guns
Q (hold): bomb barrage

The Hakai has existed for longer than most of DFS's products. It originated as a prototype personell carrier for the S020 military, but it was never adopted as the military did not travel to places with enough gravity to make the Hakai viable as a means of transport. The Hakai underwent a few more design iterations after the fact, such as the addition of guns, a speed-dependent stabilization system, and a few cosmetic changes as well. Then, it sat in the DFS storage warehouse, the same one where the robbery of one of the stock Bison spacecrafts took place, for well over three years while DFS made new innovations and had major setbacks. It was rarely ever seen or mentioned at DFS, mostly because many of the employees simply forgot it existed. However, during the DFS's big move from S020 to the current planet, one of the relocation crews found it buried under a mountain of parts, pieces, and partly finished projects. They contacted the CEO for instructions, as the drone was too large to fit in the cargo carrier that was responsible for transporting everything to the destination. Long story short, the drone had to be strapped onto the back of the then-still-in-development Velox SRRB (which was, in fact, vaccum capable back then), and carefully transported to the new company location. Once it was safely tucked away in the new hangar, the DFS CEO had a good look at it. They wanted to do something with it, but had not the time required as the Velox was still being built. Two months later, during a thunderstorm, the Velox was being moved to the warehouse to protect it from the rain. The CEO oversaw this operation, and made sure the Velox was secure before locking the warehouse. However, the drone in the corner caught their eye, and then they had an idea. the Velox was finished, so why not work on the Hakai? And that is precisely what the DFS team did over the next few months. More bomb dispensers were added, the propulsion system was upgraded, and a second set of counter-rotating props had to be installed to compensate for the increased weight. On show day, the day when the finished Hakai was unveiled to the rest of the employees, the CEO took great pride in stepping up onto the landing pad and carefully applying the DFS company logo to the side of the drone. The Hakai was finished, finally, and was shortly thereafter tested at the salt flats some hundred miles away from the DFS company location. Once the drone was prepared and the crew ready, the Hakai took off and dropped its first bombs. The targets that were set up were completely obliterated, and any doubts about the power of the drone were quickly forgotten. That same Hakai is now parked adjacent to the Velox, but this time with a much better spot.

Editor's note:
Just so you know, extremely long descriptions like this won't be common. I just accidentally went story mode, and here we are.
