Your last comment is my current pre-test feeling. I need to test it out in several games and get opponent feedback.
Unlike you, I do play lots of larger games 3K-4K and every time I've used the Manta, its performance was comical. Not the Manta I had hoped for - that's for sure. It died so quick when it planetfell and dropped off troops that it was frightening.
A basic points equation still shows it to be over priced in WIPv4.2, but its much closer to being functionally adequate. That's a good thing IMHO.
Like the Piranhas, unless there's significant protest, I'm of the mind to start playtesting the Moray, Manta and Dragonfish to see how those units are working, and seeing how the deflector works on them. Further tweaks as necessary.
Cheers,
