A couple of theories: 1) Grandma is the previous Mantis. It would explain why she didn't settle in a system, why she's tough to find, why she's not afraid of pirates,and why she's alone. 2) Wearing the armor causes ships to flee on planets/moons at a higher rate. Can't come close to proving that but in my limited testing the difference has been night and day.
I love that the sequence of the Mantle of the Mantis both started and ended with 'guilt' where up to Dorianne all the other's were chosen for their competency
I have damage output from enemies set to the highest difficulty and my damage against enemies is on very easy. It makes the game a bit more fun and thoughtful instead of just running and gunning. Also i use mantis armor because i dont exactly want to feel too OP
Its a shame there werent more quests like this in SF. Reminded me of the mystress of mystery quest in 76 in the best possible way. What an absolutely great ride. Want more quests like these
"I am the terror that flaps in the night!" It's one of the best parts of the game. The outfit looks _awful_ though. I wish you could do a Mantis-playthrough, where you can go through various storylines _as_ the Mantis.
I like to give the suit to Omari Hassan I imagine him going back to his family in Akila on downtime and his kids being hyped thinking their dad's a badass
My first thought since I am a sucker for 90s adventure movies was "cool space The Phantom" The only thing that was a missed opportunity for me was not having a unique old earth 1911 maybe called the Phatom as a cute little homage
My favourite part of Razorleaf is that you're still seen as The Mantis even if you completely rebuild it from the ground up. Every time I enter The Unity, my first priority is to obtain Razorleaf to use as a base template.
Yea, with such a Batman like character, you'd think they'd go with something more mantis-y. Instead they went with overly angled white helmet and some kind of quilted bib crossed with a postmodern scrubs tunic thing.🤢🤮
I fought hard to get the Mantis set, but finally i undertstand is useful just for stealth set up [shadow sniper]. I keep pack and spacesuit on my storage, but i buff helmet and it works really cool. My main set up in HARD MODE is: 1. Main weapon; Blue Berserker Tactician's Advanced Big Band [phys/energy particle beam shotgun] Extended barrel, Recon Laser Sight, Reflex Sight, Focus Nozzle, Ergo Stock, Annihilator Round, Amplifier. I don't buy golden or purple weapons, i like craft my own weapons. 2. Back weapon: Blue Berserker Lacerate Commander´s Refined Orion [energy Rifle] Lacerate, Long Barrel, Recon laser sight, Medium Scope, Focus Nozzle, Stabilizing Stock, Tactical Battery, Amplifier. 3. Space Suite. White Bounty Hunter [Phys 140/ Energy 156 /EM 148. Thermal, Airbone, Corrosive, Radiation 15] Energy Shielding, Optimized Servos, Heavy Shielding, Gravitic Composite. A whole tank. I farmed a lot trying to find a blue Bounty Hunter Space Suit but to date i didn't find one. 4. Golden Incendiary Bounty Hunter [Phys 56 / Energy 72 / EM 64 . Thermal 30 / Airborne 10 / Corrosive 10 / Radiation 25] 02 filter 25%, Liquid Cooled +25 Thermal, Incendiary 10%, Harzard protection, Medic, Power Boosterpack (for big jumps) 5. Golden Sensor Chipped Mantis Helment [Phys 58 / Energy 54/ EM 54. Thermal 20 / Airborne 25 / Corrosive 10 / Radiation 0] Antibalistic -15% phys damage ranged weapong, Antiseptic +25% airborne resistance, Sensor Chip + 20 accuracy firing on moving, Energy Shielding, Sensor Array, Heavy Shielding, Gravitic Composites. I am a killer machine, specially on close distances and flight combat.
Dorianne should have personally shown him what she was doing and her lair the moment she decided to make him her successor or at least as soon as she knew that she was dying, in order to secure her succession. Especially to prevent him to be accidentally killed by one of the countless security messures of her lair.
Everyone basically has the mantis set lol even on the mods everyone replaces the mantis gear with other stuff like madalorian outfit, i even seen batman outfit as a replacer for the mantis ahah.
Too bad there isnt a follow up quest like the Silver Shroud one in Fallout 4, where you decide to go all in on it or "Man, I am only wearing it for the stats man"
Oh yeah, this is hilarious. When you get to the Crimson Fleet story and you have both the Mantis ship and suit, you hear the usual blah blah from Crimson Fleet NPCs "If I see the Mantis, I'll kill him!" Hello? I'm piloting the Razorleaf and am wearing the Mantis Spacesuit. More lazy Bethesda writing and programming. If Bethesda were doing their job, Ikande would have said "At first we had planned for you to infiltrate the Crimson Fleet, but all the jobs you took to take out Crimson Fleet ships and your work as the Mantis makes you too high profile. Looks like we'll have to find someone unknown." Of course not. Bethesda doesn't take basic reputation into account. Figures.
The data got wiped in the Mantis Lair because the Bethesda writers kept things shallow. So you have a new ship and a suit? Big deal. I can make a better ship. The Lair is meaningless after you clear the dungeon.

The razor leaf is the best part of this questline
I love that the sequence of the Mantle of the Mantis both started and ended with 'guilt' where up to Dorianne all the other's were chosen for their competency
So Dorianne failed her son so much she got him killed. A+ parenting
This is from the same game that has sam take his daughter into space combat so it seems to be consistent lol
@@maradjade1848 Yeah but Cora can become a Starborn which implies she is far more capable than Leon
Tbh kinda normal for a Bethesda game parent
@@Shadowpack95 I haven't been through the unity yet but that is really cool.
I have a feeling Leon couldnt even push a pencil without dying.
This reminded me of the 90's TV hero series the mantis.
You missed one thing at the Tyrannis trap. If you go past the door to the trap, there's a hackable terminal there you can use to disable the turrets
Yeah but only if you can unlock master locks
Just thought i'd point out buy you can get this slate on any random spacer, i got mine off someone on a base on Luna.
20:15 the Todd light is crazy
The Mantis: Cool Idea. Cool Quest line. HIDEOUS armor.
The armor goes immediately into the cargo hold, even if it RNG's good stats.
mod can change that in wonderfull ways.
I use a Mandalorian Armor Replacer for the Mantis Set and it has made it the only set that I wear lol
I like the helmet.
I have damage output from enemies set to the highest difficulty and my damage against enemies is on very easy. It makes the game a bit more fun and thoughtful instead of just running and gunning. Also i use mantis armor because i dont exactly want to feel too OP
I just realized that getting the highest quality of advanced mantis armor can give you 403 physical resistance if you "craft" modifiers for the armor

if only we could start going around the galaxy as the mantis and finally meeting Dorianne
a mentis questline would be fkn awesome...
collecting evidenz, strike the enemy. some heroic mantis lines to say n so on..
but sadly..
Yes missed opportunity there
My first thought since I am a sucker for 90s adventure movies was "cool space The Phantom"
The only thing that was a missed opportunity for me was not having a unique old earth 1911 maybe called the Phatom as a cute little homage
I love how the Spacers all shit themselves when they see the ship. :D
I keep re-loading until the backpack has the stats I want - everything else goes into storage :D I hope that your move goes well.
My favourite part of Razorleaf is that you're still seen as The Mantis even if you completely rebuild it from the ground up. Every time I enter The Unity, my first priority is to obtain Razorleaf to use as a base template.
11:05 I just realized a gang is recognized as a legitimate part of the freestar collective....
Propaganda from the UC fascist
Currently playing a character named Leon, and deliberately not taking the Secret Base slate, so when I NG+, I can play *that* Leon.
the enemies NPC don't react to your wearing the suit HOWEVER people in new atlantis mostly the guard DOES reckognise the armor
If The Mantis' gear wasn't so freaking ugly I'd be a much bigger fan 😭
Yea, with such a Batman like character, you'd think they'd go with something more mantis-y. Instead they went with overly angled white helmet and some kind of quilted bib crossed with a postmodern scrubs tunic thing.🤢🤮
sold it everytime 🤣
yeah. thanks to mods it can look fkn awesome (colours or even complet different look)
The helmet really set it over the top on the most ugliest armor set.
Mods is the only reason to keep it. Fugly as designed by BGS.
Nobody recognizes the Mantis armor because there were NO SURVIVORS!
I'll probably be waiting to see a mod for this for a very long time: "Annoying bird, I am the great Leon!"
You can talk to Cora Coe about it, and get a fun bit of dialogue.
Interesting , Thank You. Good job Becka , Thank You
That was good, well done sporty🍻🤟

Greay Video !
I turned the mantis into a badass assault freighter. Now spacers run away all the time lol.
such a good quest
Dorianne should have personally shown him what she was doing and her lair the moment she decided to make him her successor or at least as soon as she knew that she was dying, in order to secure her succession. Especially to prevent him to be accidentally killed by one of the countless security messures of her lair.
Also good luck on your move
I turned the Mantis into a giant 80m long C class ship😂
The mantis versus starborn
Everyone basically has the mantis set lol even on the mods everyone replaces the mantis gear with other stuff like madalorian outfit, i even seen batman outfit as a replacer for the mantis ahah.
Batman meets Dread Pirate Roberts .
I never can use the Razorleaf. Almost no cargo space. I like my loot.
Why not just... add more cargo space
Oh you lived in PA that's where I live my one friend moved from here Texas and didn't like it lol maybe you'll have better luck
Same
Too bad there isnt a follow up quest like the Silver Shroud one in Fallout 4, where you decide to go all in on it or "Man, I am only wearing it for the stats man"
Sounds like the kid had it coming
Leon could not do it.
Yep
Hmmm alot of people watched the drug lore video. Hmmm..
I'm always here so early lol
how are you in ng+ before ever doing the mantis quest, of course its easy when you are that leveled up, try it at level 10 like i did
Oh yeah, this is hilarious. When you get to the Crimson Fleet story and you have both the Mantis ship and suit, you hear the usual blah blah from Crimson Fleet NPCs "If I see the Mantis, I'll kill him!" Hello?

Why are you coming to texas?!
Um this was a joke quest to me.
Sony pony anthem: "starfield has no lore, starfield is mid"
Hope theres a Mantis spinoff game or dlc
