Please someone help.
I'm trying to unlock this ship.
I have a mantis crewmember, and medbay/teleporter, both at level 1.
In a site, says that you need lvl 2 medbay and teleporter, but in wikia says that you need lvl 1 teleporter and lvl 2 medbay.
I don't wanna spend too much scrap, if it isn't necessary.
Can someone tell me the correct requirements?

As far as I recall the wiki is correct, medbay level 2 is mandatory, and the basic teleporter is enough. However, having level 2 teleporters is not a bad idea at all, it's a cheap upgrade that makes the final battle easier, and most importantly allows to use marines of all species (except Zoltan) against unmanned ships and retrieve them before they die of asphyxia. With level 1 teleporters only Rock and Cryatal crew can survive long enough.

As you already searched for a FTL-Wiki, I post a little spoiler on how to get the Mantis Cruiser.

*** SPOILER ***

Look in Mantis Homeworlds at non-distress beacons, where the Long-Range Scanners say "Possible Ship Detected".

- Find the Iegendary thief KazaaakplethKilik
- Fight and kill the crew, but don't destroy the ship

You need a teleporter to get the dialog option to teleport crew onto a ship after the fight and you need a level 2 or better medibay to save someone's life. If you fail in either of this, you won't get the Mantis Cruiser.

A Mantis crew member isn't necessary.

Good point, but I think I'm safe, because I have Healing Burst in my ship.
Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I already read this, but I was confused, because in the other site the requirements listed are different. Apparently, it's just a big liar...
Thanks.

You're welcome. It took me some time myself to unlock the ship, as you have to go to the Mantis homeworld and there's not much time to find the famous thief. Long-range scanners do help identifying the beacons to visit, though.

Another question:
What is the best way of fighting Kazaaksomething without killing them?
I keep blowing up the ship (tried multiple times already), teleporting members to enemy ship didn't work...

Edit:
Sucess!
Having sensors at lvl 2 is extremely useful.
I was trying to kill the mantis with my crew members, when I can launch missiles directly at them!
