The Mantis Quest
You Need
- A Mantis crew
- A Teleporter
- A Medicbay lvl 2 OR A Clonebay lvl 2

Go in the "Mantis Homeworlds", in a planet with "possible ship detected"

The "Mantis Homeworlds" is a random red hostile sector, You can not get that area at every game

You need to get that, and make the special event



Defense



Do not destroy the ship, you need to kill all the crew



Victory, do the special event









Congratulations ! You have unlocked The Mantis Cruiser !

KazaaakplethKilik skill



KazaaakplethKilik give you a quest mark



Its always a random weapon

I was able to unlock with with Fire Beam. No transporter just light the whole ship up and all will die. I was trying Zoltan C and only had two ion blast and the fire b. works pretty easy on all ships except rocks and you get high salvage.

Does the medbay need to be powered?

of course I find the event when I have none of the requirements to get the ship .-.

The Federation Cruiser C is easiest to do this with because it starts with teleporter and lvl 2 clone bay and a mantis crew member

The ship where KazaaakplethKilik is inside is random, like i engaged/found him in an mantis scout, pretty easy fight, but i didnt get a single shop with teleporter... :steamfacepalm:

You don't actually need a Mantis crew member to unlock the Mantis Cruiser.

So there's that.
