::You have to figure too that some of the claims don't mesh. If it can carry five people, it should be able to carry more than 30kg, which is around 66lb, if I'm not mistaken. A lot of the new data inserted was misinterpreted from the Codex, so I'm wondering if the same is true here regarding another source. Don't get me wrong, quite a bit of good info was added too, but you had things like the Codex's statement that Mantis gunships are most commonly employed in the close air support role taken as meaning that it was most effective in the close air support role. Maybe I'll shoot the anon who added the info a message, see if we can get a response that way. [[User:SpartHawg948|SpartHawg948]] 20:42, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Curiosity

Is it possible to destroy the gunship on Samara's recruitment mission the very first time you see it (before it pulls away)? Dracosummoner 23:33, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Sourcing?

Quick question about some info that strikes me as odd - what are the sources for the following tidbits: "sources cite that an average A-61 costs around 225,000 credits", "It also has a cargo capacity of around 30kg and seating for up to five people", and "average speed of 90 miles per hour"? I'm not seeing any of that in the Codex, so just curious. Is there a source for this? SpartHawg948 09:39, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

I can't find any reference to it anywhere. Just to cover the bases, I checked the two fan sites, and there is nothing there about the Mantis. I can't remember this in the game either. I'll leave it for now to see if anyone else can verify it, and if we don't see anything by the end of the day, then I say remove the whole paragraph. Also I think that "seating for up to five people", is contradicted in the game when we see Vido escaping. I'm pretty sure we see more than five seats. Lancer1289 16:18, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
You have to figure too that some of the claims don't mesh. If it can carry five people, it should be able to carry more than 30kg, which is around 66lb, if I'm not mistaken. A lot of the new data inserted was misinterpreted from the Codex, so I'm wondering if the same is true here regarding another source. Don't get me wrong, quite a bit of good info was added too, but you had things like the Codex's statement that Mantis gunships are most commonly employed in the close air support role taken as meaning that it was most effective in the close air support role.
