In rare situations when Hammerheads are outgunned and outclassed, Manta comes in handy. Further improving AP line of Bounty Hunter fighters, this ship features increased power and cargo capacity as well as significantly stronger hull. However, very few bounty hunters can afford Manta due to its high price.

Review
Being a strictly lawful ship, the Manta is mostly used by the Bounty Hunters Guild in their fights against the Order and the criminal groups of Sirius. After flying the ship for several weeks I must say their engineering skill is rather impressive. The Manta is incredibly agile and extremely difficult to hit, especially in one on one fights. The ship's lean front profile makes jousting the most effective way to use the Manta, however in group fights you will discover that it is easier to hit the side of the Manta...it's as big as a barn door. As long as you press the attack and face your target, you should be fine. Still besides the maneuverability, the ship has a few advantages, such as a little more armor and a better power plant than the Eagle. However, like the Eagle, the turret on this ship can only fire backwards. Any pirates should be extremely careful when dealing with this ship, as they are almost always armed with buckshots, a very fast and powerful particle gun exclusive to the Bounty Hunters Guild that cuts through the common graviton shields that most ships use.

{{Review|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.]]
