Mantis Pirate Variant (Remastered)

162k spefyjerbf  7.7 years ago
Auto Credit Based on spefyjerbf's Type 85 - Mantis

"Criminal by its nature."

Standard controls. Activator 1 for more maneuverability.

A little break from tons of detail...This is a remastered version of one of my iOS builds.

This version of the Mantis is a favorite among pirates. To recap, the original Mantis was designed as a civilian vehicle. Its manufacturers used a loophole to give their craft a large armament. This version features incendiary bullets that use heat to slice through enemy ships. (No, there is no fire involved, just orange bullets). Also, a standard pirate livery has been added. While this model cannot be sold legally, these ships can easily be purchased on the underground market.

Improvements over the predecessor:
Sleeker, more detailed.
Better flight characteristics.
Better weapons.

    @MrMecha Thanks! They were surprisingly difficult to plan.. I tried complex stuff, but then I realized that the simple swords looked the best.
