EpisparhRails on Mamba looks like terrible idea.



i used to very much enjoy rails on my chieftan but not so much now. i think 1 or 2 types of weapons is fine but rails are super energy hungry.. think its why most just prefer cannons


I would like to meet whoever most is in this context

Is it going to continue creating accounts after each ban, just to come here and be pathetic?

Sir Sprockettwell it seems that the Jupiter Division is getting it's Derriere handed to it. 4000 JD players verses 11000 Silver League players. every CZ instance i was in of this evenings play the Silvers league won.  

The Courier is great for this but does not quite have the punch I want. Best Combo, Single Rail Gun and 2 beam lasers - cause you can go at it for ever (fuel dependent as I have plasma slugs on the Rail...)

Cannons  - I did not like the feel Could not really tell if I was hitting my target, with the rail gun you know when you hit your target.

Seeker Missiles and rail gun was good, but restricted by AMMO


I've settled (for now) on three medium pulse lasers, lightweight, 2x phasing sequence, 1x scramble spectrum. Kinda boring, but gets the job done and doesn't weigh the ship down too much. Interesting Courier-specific twist: you can choose to fire with or without the center laser just by changing the pitch of the nose towards the target.

Plasma slug rails are something I haven't tried yet. Do they last long enough with just a class 3 fuel tank?

Btw, if you want a Courier with more punch, the next thing to try is a Mamba.

Fought over 70 of the conflict zones for the Jupiter Division mainly in solo and for the most part we defeated the Silver but with so few players overall fighting for Jupiter the conflict was lost before it started.  Losing doesn't hurt so much when I look at all the combat bond credits earned and ranking up combat from Master to Dangerous on this CG alone.

Currently we do not have damaged or repairing station. The GalMap is primary source for this information.

I'm not a fan of rails either. My Mamba is all beams.



Rails are great, so are Gauss canons! It is just the Mamba have very bad hardpoints convergence making the usage of fixed weapons a terrible idea.

Mamba's anatomy

The usual mamba setup is gimballed frags, gimballed lasors , gimballed MC or combination of gimballed weapons + some seekers/torps


I wish I'd read this yesterday Epi. I never flew a mamba before but got a bit cheesed off in the CG flying courier, so bought a mamba and engineered it for fixed hps. (beam and PAs for me)
I tried it today and found I was unable to hit anything under medium with the size 3 hps and the size 4 hp on top takes some getting used to after the FDL. I can imagine the mamba is a beast for running away, but it's bloody awful for getting close and dirty. It's a sniper 4km type of ship maybe? Not for me.

On another point - thanks for the advice on cool running / smuggling / pirate builds. I am now running a nice piratey python but I'm having problems bump stopping T-9s and T-10s. Any tricks? Currently I'm taking out shields and drives then flying below target, switching to ext. camera and maneuvering in front then decelerating. More often than not they spin out. Sometimes this blows them, sometimes (depending on how many mines or hits I've taken) it takes huge bites of my hull.

Hello everyone o7

Good finding this community here.

I was wondering if anyone can assist me in locating "Massacre the Syndicate of Albardhas ships" missions.
One of the boards you can take missions is in HIP 104504, Stein City

I tried googling but didn't find much info on specific systems.

Cheers o/

The Syndicate of Albardhas is in only one star system of the same name (Albardhas), so you should see most of their ships there (if you are asking that). Otherwise the massacre missions may be around, but it's also based on the faction states, etc. so it's quite possible that HIP 104504 may be the only system.

For future reference:
In Inara you can go to Galaxy > Minor Factions > and search for the faction you're interested in.

Edit: and you can click the system(s) they're in to get a picture of their relative ranking in the system. For example your Syndicate of Albardhas is bottom of the pile in Albardhas with a government type: Anarchy so you're gonna have to go pirate hunting at RES or Nav Beacon.
