Named after the distinct shape of its hull, Manta is the second underwater-themed map to arrive on Goonstation and the first ship map to be set underwater. Created by admin & spriter Azungar with the help of several other admins and community members, it was released to the public on [TBA] after several months of teasers and tests.

Though the NSS Manta is a slick new vessel, it still needs tuning and fixing from time to time. If you notice something missing or malfunctioning or want to make a suggestion, however small, however big, be sure to visit the [TBA Official Manta FIX THIS SHIT! thread].

Include a roulette wheel & table in the bar.
