the name Theseus is probably because of the clone bay replacing the crew

@SamsSideshow 6 ай бұрын

Ahhh, that makes perfect sense

@dannybeane2069 6 ай бұрын

And perhaps the Lanius starting crew, given their species makes their ships out of scrap from others. Maybe the deep lore is this super damaged Mantis Ship was repaired by the Lanius, giving it the odd color scheme.

When running boarding strats, special shoutout to Hacking! Does the enemy ship have a Medbay? Are you sick of their crew running in and out, refusing to die? Just send your crew to fight, wait for one or two of the enemy crew to run to the Medbay, then place a Hacking Drone on it and activate. The enemy crew will be trapped inside, have their healing cancelled, and take damage at the same rate they would normally be healed. This usually kills them outright in the Hack duration. Then, even when the Hack is on cooldown, anyone trying to get into the Medbay has to break the doors open first - giving your crew either a comfortable window to finish them off, or to head inside to break the system.

Heck yeah man!

@pikmin937 6 ай бұрын

Alternately, instead of making them break down the doors to get into the medbay, depower your hacking to let them just walk in, then power it up again and start the hack to trap and kill them (I just noticed you said specifically when it's on cooldown oof my b)

This was the run where I learned the bossman didn't need a crew. But what I did find out was that a clone bay lets you mantis drone ships! it just take a while. >:D

@Randoman590 6 ай бұрын

Fortunately with the Basilisk you can do that with Boarding Drones too, no dead insects required. Again, just takes a while and it's a pain in the ass.

@@Randoman590dude, if you upgrade teleport to lvl 2, you can mantis drone ship also)) And it very good thing, because you able to fast upgrade your mantis crew melee. 2x golden melee mantis able to fast kill 1 enemy crew member in medbay, in other words - you solve medbay problem without drones or any type of weapons ONLY MELEE, ONLY HARDCORE!!!

Mantis ships are always fun, boarding is a fun strat. Usually I prefer Lanius for boarding but you cant go wrong with the classics.

@SamsSideshow 6 ай бұрын

Ohohoho, just you wait until I get to the Lanius ships. Variant B is my favorite ship in the game! Boarding is definitely a fun strat :3

Theseus is named after Theseus, King of Athens, son of Poseidon (well or son of Athens previous king but thats boring) Adventusere and Slayer of the Minotaur. You know, the labyrinth guy? He's a massive hero. Also he owned a ship. So yeah replacing the team might be one thing but another is that naming your ship after a guy who killed monsters makes a lot of sense

@darkhobo 2 ай бұрын

You can actually teleport as many people as will fit in a room. Thats usually 4 at most. But if you walk them through then pause when they are in the room you can teleport more than 4. Also. Rockmen boarders with a fire beam is even more OP than 4 mantis

Sonic the Hedgehog. One of the greatest and most attractive characters ever thought up. He can run at sound speed, take out enemies in a flash, and best of all, he's blue colored and knows how to handle the females. Speaking of females, the Sonic universe might also be classified as "Hot Chick Heaven" because there's such a mess of very beautiful and tough women that it will make you love the franchise even more! And since Valentine's Day is around the corner, I've been inspired to make a top 10 list of the most beautiful female Sonic characters. Grab yourself a snack and a glass of orange juice, and try not to reach through the screen because HERE WE GO! Number 10: Try this question on for size. Who chases and hugs Sonic all the time and wields a powerful hammer? Why it's Amy Rose of course! Though more of a cutie than a hottie, you can't deny the fact that she's still attractive. Two things that make her attractive are the fact that she wears a dress, and when have you ever seen 3 big, very smooth arcs of hair sticking out of a person's forehead? I haven't! So once again, Amy Rose is lovely; that is until she goes berserk and starts hitting stuff with her hammer. Who's at number 9? It's this alien plant girl from a distant planet. Cosmo, from Sonic X. She arrived on the character's planet to deliver a message saying that the galaxy was under attack by a force called the Metarex. She doesn't do much except tell people to stop fighting and focus on the real matter at hand. The real reason she lands at the #9 is that she becomes Miles "Tails" Prower's sweetheart, something Tails needed for a long while. Numero Ocho. Cream the Rabbit's mother, Vanilla. She's attractive and the size of an average human mother. What really surprises me about her is that the leader of Team Chaotix, Vector the Crocodile, falls in love with her. Kinda silly, don't you think? She's another character that doesn't do much, but in a season 3 episode of Sonic X, she helps Chris Thorndyke get into space to fight the Metarex along with Sonic and friends. What number's next? Seven, of course. Wave the Swallow from Sonic Riders. People always root for the good guys, but sometimes, the bad guys steal the show. Her mechanical IQ is equal to Tails. She also happens to be the smartest member of the Babylon Rogues. I wonder why she isn't the leader. Like Jet the Hawk and Storm the Albatross, her specialty is riding the air-boards called "Extreme Gear". With two very long and smooth feathers extending from her head to her calves and droopy eyes, Wave will rock your socks. If only we could see her take wing. Numero Six. Tikal the Echidna from Sonic Adventure 1. Named after an ancient Mayan city of the same name, Tikal is the daughter of Chief Pachacamac. She's yet another character that hardly does a thing except beg her father to stop being so greedy. She also traps herself inside the Master Emerald so that the water god Chaos doesn't reign terror upon the land. When you're the daughter of a person in the highest power, you need to look your best and Tikal delivers perfectly. That's why she's #6. Number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! Ah-Ah-Ahhh! Mina Mongoose from the Sonic Archie comics. How could you go wrong with a girl that looks like this? She can run nearly as fast as Sonic and she went from being a Freedom Fighter to being a popstar singer. Next to Princess Sally she looks more humanoid than the other characters. Who could top someone who has long mauve hair? This female standing at number 4: Blaze the Cat. One word: Pyrokinesis. How would you like to have that superpower? I mean Blaze could play around in the Himalayas for hours and she would be perfectly fine! Also, 45 degree ponytail makes her look like a Native American. I really like the fact that her love interest is the telekinetic hedgehog Silver. The combination of mind-moving and fire superpowers make these two a reliable couple. But what really lands Blaze in the #4 spot is that her attitudes apparently more different from the other females. Next up is #3. What's better than having a female with cascading quills? How about a female with cascading quills and hair? Julie-Su the Echidna, another Archie comic exclusive has that feature. She's smart, knows exactly what to do as a freedom fighter, and even trained Amy once. She's also the girl of Knuckles' dreams. Heh, lucky him. Her older self in the series Mobius: X Years Later is just downright hot! Just look at that long ponytail! Now we're talkin'! Number 1, 2, button my shoe! Princess Sally Acorn. There's a lot to say about this character. She's the heir to the throne, Sonic's first official romance, the only character that used to not wear clothes, brave and athletic, the most humanoid character, and is like a mother to Tails. In the TV show, Sonic SatAM, one Freedom Fighter, the cowardly Antoine constantly tries to woo Sally, but doesn't succeed because... he's a coward! The Princess is also a semi-perfect example of an excellent love interest, although there were a couple of times when she really snapped and acted like a lunatic; in the comics, that is. But overall, Sally Acorn really stands out amongst the slew of females not just because she's Sonic's first official love interest, or because she's the only one who didn't wear clothes, but because in the comics, she grew very long hair, and married Sonic in the future, becoming the Queen. So, you've seen a pyrokinetic Cat, a swallow, two gorgeous echidnas, and even a princess! Who could possibly top those kinds of females? Well, get ready folks; this is the #1 hottest Sonic the Hedgehog female character. Rouge the Bat. If anybody denies it, how dare you? This woman can fly, she's as strong as Knuckles, and is a femme fatale, seducing other characters into getting what she wants. Instead of having one love interest, she has two! Knuckles, and Shadow the Hedgehog. Being a treasure thief, she's only interested in one object set; jewels, especially the Chaos Emeralds. There actually have been situations where Rouge's cleavage has been exposed, but it eventually got censored. What a price to pay. I think the best part about this beauty is that she wears three different outfits unlike the other female characters. And who wouldn't want to fly across the landscape via strong as Shawn Johnson, and flirt with any male, anytime, anywhere. These three traits make Rouge the Bat triumph over all of the Sonic the Hedgehog females. My hat goes off to you Sonic Team USA. You oughta be proud. There ya have it folks. Those were the hottest female chicks in the Sonic universe. I hope you enjoyed it, happy Valentine's Day, and I'll see you later. HERE WE GO!

I really really liked playing as mantis recently, i know it takes so long but doing a boarding strat is so satisfying. And i heavily agree that mantis B can just let you park your ship while feasting on the enemies Now about thesius, that ship is beyond horrible. What dev decided to give such awful starting weapons? I'd much rather have a small bomb or a heal bomb. Playing with that ship is basically venting your mantises to full hp, making sure your lanius doesn't kill your crew. And the single engi praying your dodge the enemy small missile which will CONSTANTLY chip your ship earlygame until A. You find a decent laser weapon B. You get lucky and finally get slavers event and get 3-4 boarding parties. Yesterday as i was playing the ship i would desperately look for shops to trade the starter weapons off. The drone fights without lasers is SOOOOO boring

Mantis ships are really cool, but medbay instead of cloning on A variant is killing me. You need to either rush teleport upgrades to be able to heal your guys or buy cloning, which is cruel

@SamsSideshow 6 ай бұрын

Either way it’s rough, because if your clone bay goes down and a mantis is dead, yikes. It’s a difficult balance, but I will say, I agree, a clone bay is generally more useful
