📋 About This Mod
This armor replaces the mantis spacesuit.
- Does not affect other spacesuits as the retextured files are separate to the original.
- Works for Male and Female
- Boostpack effects is properly adjusted according the the boostpack model
The idea for this mod is to create a spacesuit that is grounded in the lore of Starfied, that being a fully pressurized, and practical design, but also unique, as the original mantis was supposed to be a pirate hunter, so the armor should be somewhat gritty and intimidating. As opposed to the godawful, insanely ugly, Mantis spacesuit, why that design even got past Bathesda's QA is just baffling.
