I have every ship in the game except for the mantis cruiser

The FTL wiki has the specifics of what you need to do for each, but the short version is complete the "KazaaakplethKilik" event or beat the game with the Zoltan cruiser.

For the Kazaaa random event thing you need to go to the Mantis homeworlds, have a level 1+ teleporter or level 3 sensors, and have a level 2+ medbay/clone bay. The event will say you've found the legendary thief kazaawhatever. You want to kill the whole crew of the ship (dont blow up the ship), then use a blue event from sensors or teleporter to "quickly search for survivors". Then use your level 2+ medical area to "save the thief". He gives you the cruiser and a bunch of other rewards.

Other then the main mantis cruiser mission, if you want to unlock the cruiser just beat the final boss with any version of the zoltan cruiser.
