Mantis A achievments

Postby dyno101 » Tue Jun 14, 2016 5:19 pm

So, I now earned the Mantis A by winning with the Zoltan B. I already have the easiest achievment (Battle Royale) but the other 2 achievments just seem menacing. Murdering 20 ships by sector 6 with a 2 man teleporter is a difficult feat, even with mantis, and even finding a ship with 5 crewmembers is difficult (Or is that achievement accumulative?).

Find a ship with a Clone Bay or fight the Flagship. Both will have more than 5 crew to be slaughtered.

Thanks! I never thought of a clone bay.

Yup. Although I got mine the old-fashioned way: Fighting a Mantis Bomber...
Or was it the Weapons Licensing guys? Or maybe a boarding event where the guys ask if hey don't mind wrecking your ship with 5 of their dudes and going straight for Life Support and Engines.

Maybe one of those events could do the trick too. You get boarders AND enemy crew to slaughter.

Just in case you didn't know, you don't have to use boarders for "Take No Prisoners". You can use burning, suffocation, anti-bio beam, any method that leaves the ship intact. Still difficult, but more options. You probably want to use Mantis B or C, however, both of which have four-man teleporters, Mantis C having anti-crew weaponry.

I have the ships now! I would have used the mantis B for them, but that's what I was trying to unlock.
