I just wanted to warn you that I changed some of the ship unlock quests to make them easier. Basically I made them require a ton of specific equipment in the past because unlocking ships was the only long term 'meta-game' goals that existed in the beta. Now that we have achievements and unlocking layouts that can fulfill this role, we made unlocking ships easier so even people who don't research online have a reasonable chance of unlocking them.
This is primarily affecting the Slug and Mantis ship unlocks.
Thanks!
I think I would prefer If it was just better hinted in the encounter what you were missing rather then reducing the requirements.

At least one has 33% chance to appear. Luckily you can trigger it multiple time in a sector. For me it took 5 occurences before I got it.

Someone should probably create a thread with all the info in the opening post to save having to go through all this

I still don't have the mantis ship either. Somewhat frustrating. I just keep restarting after failing to find it in a mantis homeworld.

Oh dude unlocking all the ships is fantastic. All your mates on-board drop their pants and rip off their tops and just start doing it. HOURS OF IT!
