In rare situations when [[Hammerhead]]s are outgunned and outclassed, Manta comes in handy.

{{Review|[[User:Ciufu|Ciufu]]|I've used Manta a lot in 4.85, but in 4.86 it got nerfed to nuts, it turns slow now, but it has still kept the good core and small shape (Except the sides). Better go for an [[Eagle]] instead.}}

{{Review|[[User:TLI-Inferno|TLI-Inferno]]|I must disagree with the review above. It may have been adjusted to turn slower, but it is definitely not slow. It's just a little bit faster than your average VHF, but, combined with its shape, and adapting one's steering methods to fit the shape of the ship, a pilot can make great use of this fighter. There are a few fighters that I like more than this, but this ship is still very good, especially when one wants to fit in as a Bounty Hunter. However, many pilots cannot get used to the way that the ship tilts while turning. While I personally believe this is just another reason to love the efficient dodging, I can also understand how some pilots who aren't used to it would have a hard time flying this ship.}}
