Role:
Heavy Attack
Description:
The Mantis is purpose designed for anti-capital and anti-structure combat. This Standup variant of the Mantis is more powerful than the carrier-based variants but does not benefit from capsuleer skills and may only be launched from Upwell structures.
Blaster Cannon: This weapon-system does large amounts of damage, but its tracking systems limit its effectiveness against fast moving targets.
Microwarpdrive: Giving a significant speed boost at the cost of higher signature radius. The Microwarpdrive has a long cool-down cycle between uses.
Torpedo Salvo: A salvo of super heavy unguided torpedoes. These weapons do significant damage against capital class starships and structures. They are unsuited to firing against sub-capital class starships.
