A bit of a problem....

It looks like the Silver Mantis SF is SG specific.

Bummer....

A very interesting SF - more so because it's not accessible to the non-SG affiliated player. In order to do this SF there are several requirements other than team size and levels.

-You must be a member of a Supergroup with a Base
-Your Supergroup must have the Mission Computer SG badge (very easy to get - sk someone for perhaps 30 mins)
-Your SG base has to have a Mission Computer crafted from salvage

If your Supergroup meets these requirements the Silver Mantis SF gives xp from lvl 20-25 and auto-exempts to lvl 25. Minimum team of 4.

As with any other SF all members of the team must be in the zone (the SG base) to start off.

Mission Log:

1. Stop Skyraider attack
Subgoals: 2 artists to kidnap, Defeat Lee, Defeat Li
Notable Bosses/Lt's: Captain Lee, Master Li

Notes: Sky Raider and Tsoo - Straightforward mish on a dark warehouse map.

2. Stop Hospital Raid
Subgoals: 6 medicines to steal, Defeat Adams, Defeat Hubbins
Notable Bosses/Lt's: Captain Adams, Anchorite Hubbins

Notes: Sky Raider and Lost - Another basic mish, this time on an office building map crammed with hospital equipment.

3. Stop Sky Raider attack of Freaks
Subgoals: Defeat Tanner, 1 sonic bomb!, Destroy last sonic bomb!, Defeat Lotus.xls
Notable Bosses/Lt's: Captain Tanner, Lotus

Notes: Sky Raider and Freakshow - The Freakshow-trashed office map. Be careful - after you get one of the glowies you will be under constant ambush as long as you remain on the first floor.

4. Stop Negotiations
Subgoals: 8 capsules to destroy, Defeat Negotiators
Notable Bosses/Lt's: Captain Drake, Archon Tiger

Notes: Sky Raider and Council - Basic underground council map with Vampire-spawning capsules to destroy.

5. Defeat everyone in Crey Facility
Subgoals: none
Notable Bosses/Lt's: none

Notes: Sky Raider and Crey - Easy 'kill 'em all' mish laid out in a tech base. The dev's renamed the Paragon Protectors with more descriptive names - this makes it easier to know what you're up against.

6. Destroy defenses to draw Duray
Subgoals: none
Notable Bosses/Lt's: Colonel Duray (AV)

Notes: Sky Raiders - Mish begins inside cargo ship, which you can either kill or skip. Outside ship is a floating Skyraider base with dozens of turrets. AV spawns once you destroy 3/4 to 4/5 of the turrets.

For those of you who have played CoH, you'll notice that this SF showcases several maps that you only see once in a while over there: Hospital map from a Praetorian mish, the Freakshow office from the Pwnz mish, and the Council base from the Ernesto Hess TF. This SF awards the usual SO and the Air Pirate badge - very fun to do with your SG, I highly recommend that you join a SG, even if you only want to do this SF, its well worth it.
