Lair of the mantis question
I wonder, the lair of the Mantis reminds me a lot of the lair of the Mechanist. Is it intended as a possible player base?

Who made that HUGE base for a petty vigilante? It was too unbelievable for me to believe it would be so huge and kept a secret. Super heroes in space.. Sure.

I just take it at face value as a Batman reference.

More of a Batman, as some said. I thoroughly enjoyed the Machinist quest line. That was a lot of fun as well.

More like Mistress of Mystery from Fallout 76.
Which was a spin off from Silver Shroud in Fallout 4.

It's a reference to an old British show called "Blake's 7". One of the slates you find from her son "Leon" says how special the ships computer is. Well... Blajke's 7's ship was run by a computer programmed by "Dorian" the name of our Mantis. It's bigger in cast than just one person, but the ship and reference to the computer, and programmer, plus the "Sic Semper Tyrannis" (they fought a tyrant/overlord in the show) even apllied to them as well as traps for the ship when it took off from its vertical hangar. Though, it's very easy to see a Batman vibe as well!

Very cool! I will have to look that up one day. I like the old shows best.
