One has to concede that this may be a difficult thing to achieve, depending of your tactics. In order to do it, you need 1. a teleporter, 2. a level 2 medbay or clone bay, 3. find the Mantis Homeworlds, and 4. find the relevant event. There is no guarantee that there even is a Mantis Homeworld in your run, and with many ships you would usually buy other systems than a teleporter or a teleporter would be low priority. At least that's the case for me. So no wonder I, too, am not winning the Mantis unlock quest any more often than the Crystal one.
