tbh as much as I loved the mantis it seems a pretty big change for so late in the stats... how would it affect how you have other kill ships scorp the same and locust firing up at fr/de?
mantis would make a big difference, it forces fi/co to focus more on xp gains rather than holding value. So it would certainly damage the fi/co dominance that so many fear. However I am sure that just as many of us would rather not have a ship on which you cant fire back.

This would also damage the other fi/co races more than xan as xan can fake their co as fr or cr which will mean that mantis wont be sent for fear of being destroyed.
