Ship details

My absolute favorite ship in the game, and surprisingly flexible, the Mamba has a bad reputation that I feel is undeserved. This one suits my everyday needs very well, is highly effective, reliable, fun to fly, ludicrously quick, and very tough. The maneuverability is better than most reviewers portray it as. While it gets hot quick, it cools off very quick too, and it is one of very few ships that will not overheat while fuel scooping.

This build is a fast and brutal space-superiority fighter, designed for NPC bounty-hunting, pirate baiting/hunting, interdicting, picking up escape pods, and some casual salvaging of abandoned cargo.
(My take on the "Frag Mamba" school of thought... but a bit more balanced.)

Designed to dogfight same & smaller class ships, and joust with large ships, it can boost indefinitely and easily outrun any credible threat when it's time to bug out. Against small craft, the lasers are the only weapon needed, and the smallest ships lose shields and hull almost instantly. Fired in short bursts, the significant waste heat is easy to manage, and the capacitor runs dry before overheating really becomes serious. The lasers strip shields very quickly, and the frag cannons are utterly devastating to hull.

Highest DPS in my fleet, and will only grow higher with future engineering.
Better DPS & speed than a similarly-equipped Fer-De-Lance, and obviously far prettier.

(An engineering work-in progress. Still somewhat experimental.)

FSD range: 27 Ly
