Mantis Lair Better Fight!
By SlySoSavage
Community Rating
I have cleaned up the Mantis Lair! It was home to house Va'ruun & Freestar Rangers before spacers swarmed the base with numbers after hearing about what could be there. The Starborn also heard the stories and have locked themselves in waiting for the right moment to escape. Many more spacers & Starborn to fight so bring friends...of the Xeno kind. To start the Quest for the Mantis Lair, you can find the dataslate next to the skill magazine in the lodge. It will tell you where I build the Gold! hatch to the Mantis Lair. If you want to run the OG quest make sure you loot and read the dataslate for that quest before installing or activating my mod. Player Home & Ship builder.
Does not conflict with Headhunter by Zone79. If you want to get that cool xeno fast, I got you!
This mod is HARD! because it scales to the OP level of GhostRider231.
Thank you to my brother Thorgen_Ironside for the amazing review or my mod :) Thank you to my lady Thea Zhang for the motivation! My YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@SlySoSavage
(If you run Bedlam mod it maybe a warzone if you have shuffle enemies on.)
