Changes: Mantis ships battle for Rock freighter

Revision as of 03:41, 2 August 2018

A curious sight greets you at this beacon: a disabled Rock freighter drifts in space while two Mantis craft battle it out - presumably over who deserves the spoils.

Wait, then attack the surviving Mantis.
- The Mantis craft are both too busy slaughtering one another to notice you. Eventually the smaller ship gets the upper hand, but they must have blown a fuse in the assault and their weapons system is inoperable. Now is the time to attack!
  - Fight a Mantis ship with its weapon system's level reduced by 2.
- The Mantis craft may have their differences, but when it comes to you they are of one mind. The smaller ship suffers a power failure as it moves to engage, but the larger one lets off a volley of fire and moves in to attack!
  - Fight a Mantis ship.
Ignore them.
- There's quite enough action here already - prepare for light speed.
  - Nothing happens.
(System Repair Drone) Repair the Rock ship
- While the two Mantis fight you approach the Rock ship and send a repair drone through one of the many breaches. It fixes the ship up enough to make at least a single jump. You're surprised when, instead, they embark on a kamikaze run on the two Mantis, which results in the obliteration of all three!
  - You lose 1 dronepart and receive a high amount of scrap and resources.
(Hull Repair Drone) Repair their hull.
- While the two Mantis fight you approach the Rock ship and use a drone to fix up the ship. Once the breaches are fixed the life support flickers back on. In a matter of moments they are already in pursuit of one of the Mantis ships. Meanwhile the second Mantis turns toward you.
  - You lose 1 dronepart and fight a Mantis ship.
