"Planar motion... with the distribution of unrelenting fury."

The Volitus is one of the most heavily armed gunships in existence. It boasts an armament of about 200 rockets (mounted in "Nebula" Rocket systems), 51 grenades, a six shot vortex cannon (explosions oscillate), and a scram cannon, which ionizes a large volume of air to do damage. The way that the Volitus moves is interesting, too. It has no way of producing lift through traditional methods, and is locked in a VTOL configuration. It uses thrusters to move forwards, backwards, and sideways, while gyroscopes facilitate balance and yaw locomotion. While it is somewhat slow, its heavy armament has a 45 degree firing arc, which allows it to be a potent gunship.

Controls:
Pitch: move forward and backward
Roll: Move sideways
Yaw: Yaw
Throttle: hovering thrusters
Launch Boom 50: Vortex cannons
Launch Boom 25: Grenade launchers
VTOL and Trim: Turret Orientation

The Big Tip:
With most VTOLs, you need to think three-dimensionally about your orientation in space. With this VTOL, you do not. You just need to know how the aircraft is moving 2-dimensionally. This means that you DO, however, need to keep track of your MOMENTUM for a smooth flight.

Tips:
- Try not to wrestle the controls. It isn't very efficient, and has a small chance of throwing the gyros off balance.
- Ideal Hovering is about 25%, Ideal movement is about 30% throttle.
- If random up-pitching occurs, let go of the pitch input, and wait for the craft to balance.
- Use backwards and sideways motions sparingly (best for small landing adjustments or braking). Excessive use causes random yaw motions, and may throw the gyros off.
