The Mantis transport is one of my favourite large ships and I dont know why. It isnt for its thrust that although adequate is not extraordiary. It isnt for it's size because it isnt that big. It must be because it looks cool :-)

The Mantis is the ship you have before you move up to the Panther and Puma Clipper. Slow it is But it is still cool.

RATING: 7/10 EQUIP: A few Shields, 20 MW lasers on both turrets.
