Its unclear as to whether this trait means that a subsystem manned by a Mantis crew member causes double damage to the subsystem (when damage is received) or to the enemy (when damage is dealt).

By "combat", they mean man-to-man combat, not ship-to-ship combat. Basically, Mantes make good raiding parties or security guards.

Hand-to-hand and gun-to-face, specifically. :-) – Hand-E-Food Sep 17 '12 at 3:57
Oh, and Mantes is the plural of Mantis. – Hand-E-Food Sep 17 '12 at 3:58

Actually, rocks make better security guards because they can take way more punishment (also, you can set the section of the ship you're fighting in on fire and they won't care) – Shadur Sep 20 '12 at 6:51
