Respect my friend. Every time I tried to jump planets in the original ship I would die in seconds. The hull was ruined so I went for smaller Grav jumps until I found the planet. Now have every chance to enjoy this game. I am useless in the air but hope to get better with this ship. At 68 years old and having just retired there is something more than gardening.😂
@@Steely_Fran on my forth main quest play through just trying to get the cool looking Tenebis armour then will play the game from the start and this time build bases upgrade weapons etc. loving the game hope you are too
Just so you guys are aware. After claiming the mantis ship and Armour. You can get special encounters as THEE mantis. Spacers and pirates will fear you. They will get scared and ask you to not kill them if you're flying the ship. I'm not sure if you wear the Armour. But I've gotten a Mantis reputation. Play it however you want. Abuse the system to gain rewards from people you save or gain a better reputation by saying helping is your reward. So it's pretty cool tbh. Idk if you get those encounters without flying the ship but yeah. AI will recognize or ask you if you're the mantis. On many occasions. Once you build that rep, people and pirates will actually think you are the mantis after taking over for her. It's really freaking amazing
And the great thing is you can modify the ship as much as you want, and the game still has it flagged as the Mantis' ship if you want the encounter. I always gun down all 3 pirate/spacer ships as they go to run.
When evil stalks the skies of the Settled Systems, one person lurks in the shadows. Shielding the innocent, judging the guilty. That guardian is...THE MANTIS!
My favorite piece of dialog so far is during the Crimson Fleet questline. One of the pirates randomly says as you're walking by: "I hear the Mantis is back. When I find 'em... I'm gonna kill 'em." This was said as I was walking back to my Razerleaf... while wearing the Mantis armor. I just stared at the guy like "Wanna say that again, buddy?"
Hahahaaha! I think Bethesda missed an opportunity to have the Mantis ID linked to the suit, either instead of or in additon to, the ship. Just so you could hear that line AS the Mantis, return to that NPC, and 'Talk' and exactly address that line. Me thinks feature request? I'm told post-game allows a total rerack of everything you've done excluding skills and character level, so I'd have to re-find and re-claim the ship should I elect to go another round (and any subsequent rounds). If Bethesda gets and implements that feature request, then at some point you'd be able to have that encounter
@@morgfarm1Yeah, NG+ is basically a total reset of everything except skills (including magazine skills... I THINK), so you'd have to redo all the quests to get all the quest-related loot, like the armor and ships. Though there are some new lines that reference that you've done it all before, so that's neat... even if you didn't do that quest the first time. lol
I made a thread on this on reddit, i hope it's acceptable to post here. Wanted to share the list I made of possible rolls for the Mantis Armor. If you're reading this list you'll likely be reloading. If you get a decent Roll and you want to "save the armor for later" MAKE SURE YOU LOOT THE ARMOR. If you open the case see the armor set and save, next time you reload that save the stats will be lost. I learned the hard way. I got a lucky roll of 6 out of the 9 i wanted.. Saved my game. Loaded the game and the set was changed because i never looted it from the case.

Earth's moon, which in Stanfield, its called, Luna. I would to just throw out there really quick, that our (Earth) moon's internationally recognized name, is in fact, Luna. This is where you get the phrase, Lunar Cycle. Much like our sun's name, is, in fact, Sol. Solar Calander. Anywho, sorry to ramble, there. I actually just finished this station as an explorer.
This is true. Given most of my audience (like 98%) are western, I felt this clarification was needed. As I’ve never ever heard anyone refer to the moon as Luna, but rather refer to the moon and the moon. If I said go to Luna, most people be like 🤷♂️ what’s Luna
@Camelworks I admit I've used their names before and got confused looks from folk. I can't tell if using The sun, or The moon, is supposed to be a commanding title socially, or an insult to them. Like, the sun and moon are integral to life on Earth, or, "the sun is too hot this summer, cool down".
I actually managed to find the Secret Outpost! slate on some Spacers in an abandoned mining outpost on Kreet, so it looks like you can get the quest log without travelling to the Sol system.
Went to pick up Barrett from being kidnapped and some broken down freighter radios me and asks me to make a quick delivery to Cydonia and I made a quick few thousand credits. Then I went to a nearby structure and some miners were getting attacked by Ecliptic mercs and some got captured so they asked me to rescue them and I do and fly them to a safe settlement. Amazing random encounters.
Thank you!! I played through this last night and wanted to experience it again. I appreciate you doing a walkthrough AND letting the audio logs play out
I think there is an outfit that goes along with the spacesuit, also in the room with all the loot; I think a lot of people maybe miss it, because almost no one talks about it…
In terms of the puzzle room with the letters, I just shot each of the turrets, whilst taking cover (and dying a few times), but got through and was surprised by the reward this side quest gave me. Very happy. Great walkthrough… you got yourselves a new sub.
The guy who tries to betray you in there actually died for me in that room. I turned the corner yeeted a grenade and it set off some explosives in the room killing almsot everyone in it. Had no clue there was a conversation with the guy!
Thanks for this!! I was struggling with the Frontier lol and i totally missed this at the start of the game so i just went back and got the mission, much appreciated!!
You can also use the Amp chem to run super fast and just sprint across the puzzle and deactivate the turrets that way. (Maybe this was said in the video, I don't remember, as I got distracted for a second.)
Also, not sure if I missed it in the video, but there is a high level bounty hunter spacesuit near the control room that is excellent to give to a companion to wear. Not a piece of loot to miss. Thanks for sharing this quest, it's so worth doing at a lower level. I did it at level 8 or 9, and if I can get through it, anyone can.
@@Cube_117 I played on normal...used lots of grenades and mines as needed. Switched to the more powerful weapons I was finding on my way through the lab.
I love Bethesda games but I don’t play on pc jus PS5 n I’m not buying a Xbox jus for that. So your videos are gonna be how I get to experience them from here on out you are appreciated
Make sure you replace the liquid metal every 5 years and keep it horizontal to stop it from pooling on one side of the chip. I have watched a few PS5 repair videos. I actually took apart, cleaned, and replaced the thermal paste of my PS3.
I ended up resetting for HOURS, but ended up with -15% damage from all enemy types. +60 carry weight, some resistances and stagger + burn. Totally worth it. Plus, that dome chest ended up giving me an AMAZING legendary shotgun, so needless to say this was a huge upgrade for me. (Level 17 on very hard)
Funny thing is that I remember seeing the armor on a thumbnail for a video on how to get powerful items in-game and asking myself, “I wonder how to get that?“ Fast forward to me finishing this side quest and behold, the armor! Feels good to be playing a game on my own for the first time… Except for XP farms :P
@@alistermanase2581 I was driving around after working saying “I’m the Mantis!”, I bet chicks would love the Mantis! Come here my love, kiss the Mantis
There's actually an option during the quest in neon when you join the gang to say that you are secretly The Mantis, idk if it's an option if you haven't done the mantis quest but it'd be very funny if it isn't
The Golden Spacesuit guy is not guaranteed to spawn in that space station. He didn't show up for me after multiple loads, and none of the spacers in there dropped any kind of note. EDIT: found it during a generic spacer killing mission a couple of hours later.
Update! I found the Golden Spacesuit and Secret Hideout notes during the first mission to join the Freestar Rangers - one I could pick from the mission board involved spacers, so I went for it.
Okay point of correction right from the beginning. If people follow the main quest right away then the place shown in the video to get the data slate will probably be where you get it, however, you do not HAVE to get it there. I got it off of random ass spacers on a random procedurally generated POI on some shithole moon. I'm pretty sure this thing can be dropped by ANY random spacers.
I didn't even think of re loading for legendary efforts, i spent days doing it in fallout 4 to get the perfect weapons and it comes flew over my head lol
Nice Video. I'm about to play that story, and role play as the Mantis for a while. Search out Pirates, and Spacers. This will be fun. Thanks again for the video.
Brooooooooooo this is why i need to watch these vodoes first. I had jo odea you could re roll the attributes on the armor. I just acouped everything and dipped out. God damnit im gonna bebkicking my self for this
My next playthrough I am going to make a smugger named Leon, and deliberately ignore the Spacer messages, until NG+. Then I will run the Mantis quest, as Leon. Yeah, total roleplay build.
EDIT: The slate that starts the quest can drop from any Spacer. I've had it in the same spot three times (shown in video). But if it's not there for you, just keep killing and looting Spacers and you'll have it in no time. Also worth checking your quest log for the mission, as you may have it already unknowingly. Good luck! What are your perfect Mantis armor stats?

@Camelworks the reason why you got killed by the turrets was because of your companion. Given this is from the same engine, companions trigger traps too.
Also, you missed two really good space suits, the bounty hunter armor and one other (that I forgot the name of but it's in the Mantis' bathroom). Both have a weight of 20, but offer decent protection.
I watched like 3 other videos and they were like you just have to fly around and eventually you’ll run into spacers lol thank you for showing a 100% way to find them!!
I've been to the space station twice, at levels 7 and 8, and the golden suited corpse still hasn't spawned for me. I'll keep trying. Pretty good loot in the place otherwise.
@@Wickedmicro- Yes. The third time was the charm. Lots of great loot. Particularly, the space ship and Mantis suit. I kept those for many levels. The only problem with the space ship is that a lot of the raiders run from it rather than stay and fight.
I just activated the turrets on the password part and took them out while shooting them through the caging. Ran back to where the entry to this area is and peaked enough to take them out one at a time, right to left. Only one turret can hit you doing this. Figured I might as well get the xp.
What a cop out... random effects? Bah... Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but it feels like a missed opportunity to not cater to certain playstyles. Truly make the armor worthy the legend
Is the Mantis set leveled loot? For example in Skyrim Chillrend's damage was based on your level when you picked it up. Is the Mantis suit the same but with armour defense?
I didn't do the puzzle. I just straight up shot the turrets out. And i never saw or spoke with a dude. Weird. Cool mission though. Probably my favorite so far.
Cannot be found without the quest. Regardless of what people say. You have to have the quest or the location won’t be there. My friend searched for hours because the body despawned on his playthrough. Upon 3 hours of searching it could not be found without the quest. I did find however; You can keep killing spacers and eventually the secret outpost note will drop on them. And it doesn’t have to be a specific galaxy. You can loot it from a dead spacer in any galaxy.
I’m curious…you should be able to use the storage boxes and weapon displays as storage. It shouldn’t count as ship storage, similarly to dropping items on the ship floor. Now, idk about the stuff being there, using a different ship and then going back to the razorleaf
Just don't store your guns in the gun racks on board thr Razorleaf. There's a bug in the game were any weapons stored in the gun racks on the Razorleaf will disappear. I lost a couple of Legendary rifles because of that bug. Had to revert to a previous saved game and redo the quest.
Yes, this appears to also apply to any display rack or weapons crate whenever the player makes any upgrade or refit of their vessel in the Ship Builder mode (no matter how small the change) !
From what I saw technically the place you go to squire is leveled so don't go in low leveled. I did see a guide on RU-vid showing how to get 2 awesome guns & going after it at low level.
Every time I got the RazerLeaf I have found spacers who once they realized who I was they begged for their life. I let them go, but I had to laught. It was so funny.
You can shoot the ceiling turrets from the doorway with any automatic weapon to destroy them just have some med packs ready. You can get two turrets down fast before you have to jump away then heal and get the last two. I gave Andreja frag grenades for the robots after and she did more damage to me than they did :( Crappy ship btw even though it's free.
Like all Bethesda rpgs there is a case of main character syndrome. I wish you could opt to offer the mantle to one of your crew or followers. A Sam Coe Mantis with a Cora heir would have ticked the box for me.
I finally figured out about the puzzle. the trick is not run while walking between tile. I suggest to use keyboard instead, just make sure to use the Cap Lock to make you not running. Then the turrets won't shoot at you as long as you are stepping on the right tile spells "Tyrannis". It took me so long to figure that out because I mainly use my console and controller. I have to use my Desktop to do it right. OMG if someone told me earlier.
Finally Got my Razorleaf, if someone told me what are the right gears to use. It would be a less an hour mission. I actually spent most of the time try and fail the puzzle because I was on console and I am not good at walking with the controller. Anyway, I even get into Mantis mission at level 7. Even after I got Razorleaf, I just past Level 8. It is not that hard but you have to use the right gears. You will need Heller's Cutter at "Back to Vectera" Mission, Heller's Cutter has +20% robot damage than regular cutter but the downside is its short range. Therefore you will need to get "Elegance" pistol at Akila City in Cheyenne System at Rowland Arms which just pass the bank. Get at least 100 rounds of .43 UL Tramag. In order to get more ammo, you can travel back to Jemison and go to the Residential Distract and go to Centaurian Arsenal. Go buy another pack. Then go outside sit on a bench and wait 24 local hours. It will fast forward and afterwards, go back in there and buy another pack. Repeat this until you have enough .43 UL. This trick will work on all ammo types. Oh, you still need a shotgun for 1 turret after the puzzle so bring it with you. As long as you don't run at the word puzzle, you should be fine. By the way, for low level player trying this mission, you do need to jump serval times to get to the base. the mid-point I found is Cheyenne and Olympus system. If I remember correctly, I can jump to Denebola from Olympus using Frontier. Good luck guys
Update: don't put anything on the weapon racks on Razorleaf, they will disappear forever as soon as you go to another system. Or exit the game. There is a bug and they still haven't fixed it yet.
I think the spacer with the slate shows up at an increased rate on the staryard (take the spacers on the station off the census) as sometimes I've walked away with 6 slates
Tried to use this walkthrough and the spacer with the note never spawned for me. Guess I'll have to wait for my second playthrough to get the mantis armor and the razorleaf.
In atlantis a uc guard stopped, said hey wait aren't you... then ran away, i couldn't catch him cause i was over encumbered. I realised i was wearing the mantis suit. Could be a quest... undercover pirate maybe.
I didn't really pay attention to the computer that suggested not changing the hull and now don't think I can revert back without going back to an old save and having to re do a ton of missions.
What do you mean by “as long as you don’t change the hull”? I’m curious how much you can modify/upgrade the ship while still being considered the Mantis.
Reportedly, it doesn't matter how extensively or how many times the player changes the Razorleaf: as long as it *was* originally the Razorleaf, it will still be recognized as the ship of The Mantis. (This includes massive upgrades to the entire ship layout, the weapons loadout, the paint job & even the ship's name, supposedly!)
I’ve never been to that moon base. I don’t know where I got my slate from? I’ve only been following the main storyline I have it already …I haven’t even done the first constellation mission yet.
