Flyable Combat Version
The Mantis is a Destroyer Class spaceship equipped with 6 lasers and two cannon variations. Its name was inherited based on its exotic alien design. Mainly piloted by alien forces it has however been seen in the hands of some lucky humans who have managed to harness its power in combat. Its construction allows for better speed in non atmospheric conditions and greater agility within atmospheric pressures..
The Mantis is capable of holding its own in battle against larger crafts based on its variation in weapon loadouts. Its lasers have been calibrated to fire with extreme precision offering a line of fire that can burn through most enemies who are in target range. However every ship has its flaws and the Mantis is a little longer in design compared to smaller fighter ships which makes its sides vulnerable when turning. As long as the pilot knows this they should have no problem staying locked onto a target, where it lacks it makes up with its forward Anti-matter Cannon and Sun Cannons which make it a beast in combat offering long range heavy damage potential.
