It seems like the Manticore's ability "Castigate the Enemies of the Godhead" activates whenever it takes structure damage, instead of when it dies, and doesn't do any damage to the manticore, at all.  I'm pretty sure this isn't how it's supposed to function, seeing as it says "when destroyed" and "vaporizing it and killing you". Either way, it's pretty fun to play around with right now, so I'll be doing that until it gets patched.

That def sounds like a bug, thanks! Logged.

I just had it go off due to the character actually dying, and it didn't do damage. I'm not sure if it didn't do damage because of a glitch or because of a horus upgrade that makes them dissappear when structured, even though they died from overheat

Could you email me a save file with this pilot? I’m having trouble reproducing this glitch.

You can find your saves by going to options -> Data and pressing the yellow button, then all your saves are in the saves/ folder. If save during a combat where you’re seeing the manticore do this, that .json file will show up in that folder. You can email me the save at olive@wick.works
