Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Very cool ship. I like the nice Green lightened logo on the wings. Good work!
Thank you! I just wish I could actually play the game with the glowies turned on. Also was trying to be very carefull it didn't turn into some kind of "Tron" ship (saving that idea for another model)! };]

I think I found a new ship to add to my Ooniverse! Really nice work Paradox.

Ok, got the Buick/Opel Manta, searched a few wikis even but still didn't find the term "boh-eih". Sorry for being dense, I blame it on the toothache! };]
Has anyone else had any weird issues with the Manta? I just saw a pirate in a Manta, with no wings....?!?!? They are a sub-entity, but they should not be frangible... I jumped into another system, and saw another one that was completely normal. Any ideas?

I was just ambushed at the witchpoint by a Manta. It had both its wings, until I hit it with my military lasers a few times - then only the flashers from the wingtips remained, making it look sort of like a space dragonfly.
Also I noticed that NPC Mantas and DTT Mk1s seem to always have front and aft lasers installed (usually I don't run into any ships with such configuration outside the like of Random Hits missions). Is that the default for the player version as well?
