mantis (class 3 ship)
blasts itself to destroy all class 4 enemy ships and also your own class 4 ships. it's not easy to use the mantis, but it can be a scary deadly weapon against ships. (caution! self destruction!)
since the buildings at your homeplanet are positioned between your class 4 ships, this ship affects them also, only your research center and shipyard are big enough to withstand the explosion
attack/life: 0/100
manpower: 350
researchtime: 3 d
buildingtime: 16 h
kazuuula-technology
needed research:
fanatic warfare
battle details:modifies AP and LP by -5000/-5000 of all ships of any ship-type in the enemy fleet in class 4 but some ships and buildings are immune against this effect
(battle engine syntax: kill,enemy,all,4,all)
modifies AP and LP by -5000/-5000 of all ships of any ship-type in your own fleet in class 4 but some ships and buildings are immune against this effect
battlemessage: "mantis explodes"
(battle engine syntax: kill,self,all,4,all,mantis explodes,n)
self destructs!
(battle engine syntax: sd)

Why post this for discussion?
It requires a mothership to deliver. Total cost is 670. It is not worthwhile to attack a fleet with a mothership. But it is certainly worthwhile to attack a planet with 16 motherships!! I encounter one. But since my race is Nanite, I could not produce a mantis. |

Well, as a nanite, you could deliver it with a core driver, it also has tactical advantages (yu can strand attackers) and it also wipes out transwarps and def array!!

Cap, this is a kazuuula ship and nanite could not research in it. Ask your nanite friends. |

You know:
"All my friends drive lowrider
And a lowrider it's a little lower
Take a little trip, take a little trip, take a little trip with me
KoRn - LowRider"
Nah, just kidding, I ment the human ship, the more friendly version of the Fleet Tender

Whats the deal with this thing? It says that Shipyards and Research Centers aren't killed by a Mantis, but if I'm reading the battle details right, all class 4's get -5000/-5000. That would take out anything.... |

It destroys all class 4 ships and all the buildings (except the shipyard en the research-center) because the the buildings act in class 4.

Let's see:
battle details:modifies AP and LP by -5000/-5000 of all ships of any ship-type in the enemy fleet in class 4 but some ships and buildings are immune against this effect
(battle engine syntax: kill,enemy,all,4,all)
modifies AP and LP by -5000/-5000 of all ships of any ship-type in your own fleet in class 4 but some ships and buildings are immune against this effect

well, just use a dsp on the planet you want to attack. the lowrider combo is possible, and probably the best. it's fast and you don't loose too many points. since the mantis would destroy every class 4 ship, you won't care about the lowriders ability to blow itself to dust once damaged. back to the dsp... just have a look at your target. if he has 4 or more class 4 'thingies' (ships or buildings) you'd destroy enough to have a positive score with the lowrider/mantis combo. and about that change thingie: don't make both destructable by the mantis. IF there is going to be a change (which i think is not really neccessary), make it random wheather the shipyard or the research-center gets destroyed. |
