Hi,
I just got to the part in the mission where the first thargoid mantis appears (attacking the navy station).
After fighting with if for several minutes (with no success) I got frustrated and used the last resort. (incase your wondering, the last resort is to crash your spaceship into the target ejecting on the way )
Is that really the only way to destroy the mantis?
Because I tried everything I could think of to destroy it, but maybe I didn't try long enough?
It's a big and slow-moving ship, which will take a while to reach the station. You on the other hand are a small and fast-moving ship, and there's a nice station that has a well-stocked armoury at your disposal...
A little strategy is required - who says you have to kill something all at once? It's perfectly possible to do it with some planning and patience, but not really whilst it's surrounded by it's fleet.
I tried it again and defeated the mantis.
Another question after docking I got the message from the navy, they mention that I now have a navy bomb on board.
But I don't have anything in my pylons and it doesn't show up anywhere?

It has a special and specific purpose, and is stored in a nice quiet corner of your cargo hold out of the way
I found out what the special purpose of the navy bomb is.
Nice mission!
One thing that confused me a little is that after deploying the navy bomb and docking at the normal station the planet was still marked, I didn't get a good job message, and in the missions screen the mission was still listed.
The 1.03 version has the last mission stage toughened up a bit, as some were complaining it was too easy. No more use of the cloak to cheat, and there's more to shoot out there as well.
