{{Quote|The Krait MkII is a reimagining of the Krait Lightspeeder, which was originally manufactured by Faulcon DeLacy in the 3100s. Although the new ship is larger than the original, it possesses many of the same characteristics, emphasizing speed, manoeuvrability and firepower over defensive capability. The ship also boasts a fighter bay and space for up to two crew members, making it a good option for those seeking a medium-weight, multipurpose vessel.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Krait MkII''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Faulcon DeLacy]]. The modern successor of the discontinued [[Krait MkI]], the Krait MkII greatly expands upon the premise of the original, resulting in a larger, well-rounded ship intended to provide a more combat-focused alternative to Faulcon DeLacy's other mid-size multipurpose craft, the [[Python]]. Due to its inconspicuous design, the Krait MkII is also less likely to attract the attention of local authorities and has potential as a smuggling vessel.<ref name="PCGN">[https://www.pcgamesn.com/elite-dangerous/elite-dangerous-beyond-chapter-two-cinematic PCGamesN: Feast your eyes on the Krait Mk II in the latest Elite Dangerous: Beyond - Chapter Two cinematic]</ref>

== Overview ==
The Krait MkII is a leaner, meaner alternative to the [[Python]], featuring almost identical module and hardpoint specifications. The main differences are that the Krait is cheaper and has one less Class 6 internal compartment, lower armour, lower hull mass, three pilot seats for [[Multicrew]] instead of two, and the ability to carry a Class 5 or 6 [[Fighter Hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]]. While the Python wins out in total cargo capacity and armour, the Krait's other characteristics make it a faster, more agile ship with a higher jump range potential and excellent combat utility for its price.

The Krait's three large hardpoints are mounted in a delta pattern on the vessel's dorsal surface, behind the cockpit. The two medium hardpoints are mounted on the underside of the front-most points of the hull, on either side of the cockpit and slightly forward.

The primary pilot's seat is located squarely along the centerline of the ship, but the cockpit itself extends from the hull and is slightly under-slung, affording a wide, unobstructed frontal view reminiscent of a [[Lakon Spaceways]] ship such as the [[Asp Explorer]]. The two secondary pilot seats flank the primary pilot seat to the left and right, and have separate canopies.

== Notes ==
*The Krait MkII was released with the Chapter Two (3.1) update of ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]]'' on June 28, 2018.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idrnfZ-q4X8 YouTube: Elite Dangerous: Beyond – Chapter Two cinematic trailer]</ref> Purchasing it requires owning ''[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]]''.<ref>[https://youtu.be/jevg_IcTtdE?t=2811 YouTube: Krait Expectations (46:51)]</ref>
*''Elite Dangerous'' narrative lead Ian Dingwall describes the ship: ''"You might think of the Krait Mk II as analogous to modern updates of the real-world Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Beetle... It's a reimagining of a classic that connects conceptually and aesthetically with the ship from 1984's Elite, while offering enough innovation and quality to compete with contemporary rivals in Elite Dangerous. While the Mk II embodies the essence of the original, it's very much its own ship."''<ref name="PCGN" />
*Senior designer Barry Clark said the Krait MkII ''"currently occupies a unique place among our ship roster and is very popular among players... The idea of a low-profile ship for Commanders flying dubious cargo was really cool to us, too. The Krait is a great all-round ship with a strong hull, powerful engines – which look super-cool – and a great load-out. It's also less 'conspicuous', meaning it's less likely to get scanned by the police compared to other ships of that size and class. It has significant straight line speed and power, as well as enough firepower to match the Python thanks to three large and two medium hardpoints. It has a really nice punch against a variety of ship types and sizes."''<ref name="PCGN" />

==Trivia==
* The Krait MkII was first teased in the first trailer for Beyond Chapter 2, where its engines were shown.
* The Krait MkII may have been originally named the "Krait Tornado" after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panavia_Tornado Panavia Tornado].<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/90hyvz/remember_the_frontier_store_leak_talking_about_a/ r/EliteDangerous: Remember the Frontier Store leak talking about a Krait Phantom? Apparently we're currently flying a Krait Tornado.]</ref>

The '''Mamba''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. It directly competes with Zorgon Peterson's other premium combat vessel, the [[Fer-de-Lance]], featuring a similar array of advantages and drawbacks at a similar price point. The Mamba's key distinguishing characteristic is its increased speed potential over the Fer-de-Lance, reflecting its heritage as a racing ship. In a press release announcing the ship's debut, Zorgon Peterson stated, "If it's speed and firepower you want, the Mamba is for you. Based on a racing prototype, it's the fastest commercially available starship, and it sports enough hardpoints for a range of devastating weaponry. Whether you're leaving competitors in the dust or running rings around those pesky Thargoids, think Mamba!"<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c0fae32af3dc5310f13d5f8 GalNet: Mamba and Krait Phantom Released]</ref>

== Overview ==
The Mamba's design draws inspiration from [[Zorgon Peterson]]'s famed [[Fer-de-Lance]] and places an emphasis on bringing heavy firepower and speed to engagements. As both ships have somewhat similar costs and capabilities, deciding which one to purchase over the other comes down to personal preferences.

In Combat, the Mamba is the second medium ship after the Fer-de-Lance to be capable of mounting Class 4 weaponry, and the third ship overall after the Fer-de-Lance and [[Beluga Liner]] to feature six utility slots. In addition to its single huge hardpoint, the Mamba also possesses two large hardpoints and two small hardpoints. This arsenal places it in a narrow niche above the Fer-de-Lance and below the [[Federal Gunship]] in terms of raw damage potential for a medium ship. As a redesigned racing ship the Mamba boasts incredible speed, surpassing most other ships and letting it easily hunt down targets or escape from ambushes. This comes at a sizeable cost to manoeuvrability, however, reducing its ability to evade attacks and thus hindering its overall combat effectiveness. The Mamba also has a low heat threshold for its size, but compensates for this weakness with a higher heat dissipation rate.

Like the FDL, the Mamba is suited to [[Bounty Hunting]] and little else as all of the former's drawbacks are only exacerbated here. Featuring a low 64T maximum cargo capacity, the Mamba is completely unusable for [[Trading]] or [[Mining]] purposes and is even less viable for [[Pirate|Piracy]]. Furthermore, even if all possible measures are taken to conserve weight, the Mamba has a miniscule 18.15 ly maximum jump range, the lowest maximum jump range before [[Engineers|Engineering]] of all available ships. As a result, when optimised for combat the Mamba can struggle to jump to nearby systems, making travel across even small distances a somewhat frustrating experience. Needless to say, the Mamba is a very poor choice for an [[Explorer]]. With its higher damage output and utility slots the ship still remains an effective Anti-Xeno choice and in particular, its high speed makes it very effective at dealing with [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s.

All of the Mamba's hardpoints are located on the ship's dorsal surface. The two small hardpoints are forward of the cockpit, the two large hardpoints are on either side of the cockpit, and the huge hardpoint is behind the cockpit. Four of its utility mounts are on its ventral surface, whilst the remaining two are near the rear of the upper chassis.

The two pilot seats are on the ship's centerline, in a blister-style dorsal cockpit, as opposed to the Fer-de-Lance's slightly-offset pilot's seat. The primary pilot seat is at the front, while the secondary copilot seat is directly behind it and slightly elevated. The Mamba's cockpit includes a secondary pilot seat, giving the ship [[Multicrew]]-capability.

*The Mamba first appeared in ''[[Elite]]''. It was originally a term for a loose collection of small single-seat high-speed racing ships using the classic 'wedge' or 'delta' hull shape, but the design was later standardized by Raddlett and Rayburn Shipyards in [[Reorte]] in the early 3100s. The design has since been acquired by and 'reimagined' by [[Zorgon Peterson]].
*[[Engineers|Engineer]] [[Bill Turner]] kept a vintage Mamba among the collection of ships stored at his base, Turner Metallics Inc, on [[Alioth]] 4 a.<ref>[[Elite Dangerous: Premonition]]</ref>
*The Mamba was first revealed in the beta for Chapter Four (3.3) of ''Elite Dangerous: Beyond''; while it was not initially for sale, players encountered several of the ships beings flown by NPCs.
*The Mamba features the lowest Jump range of any jump capable ship as well the lowest maximum cargo capacity and highest base speed of any medium ship
*The base colour of The Mamba is identical to that of the FDL, as well as boasting very similar engines.
*The Mamba is the longest medium ship in the game.

In Combat, the Mamba is the second medium ship after the Fer-de-Lance to be capable of mounting Class 4 weaponry, and the third ship overall after the Fer-de-Lance and [[Beluga Liner]] to feature six utility slots. In addition to its single huge hardpoint, the Mamba also possesses two large hardpoints and two small hardpoints. This arsenal places it in a narrow niche above the Fer-de-Lance and below the [[Federal Gunship]] in terms of raw damage potential for a medium ship. As a redesigned racing ship the Mamba boasts incredible speed, surpassing most other ships and letting it easily hunt down targets or escape from ambushes. This comes at a sizeable cost to manoeuvrability, however, reducing its ability to evade attacks and thus hindering its overall combat effectiveness. The Mamba also has a low heat threshold for its size, but compensates for this weakness with a higher heat dissipation rate.

Like the FDL, the Mamba is suited to [[Bounty Hunting]] and little else as all of the former's drawbacks are only exacerbated here. Featuring a low 64T maximum cargo capacity, the Mamba is completely unusable for [[Trading]] or [[Mining]] purposes and is even less viable for [[Pirate|Piracy]]. Furthermore, even if all possible measures are taken to conserve weight, the Mamba has a miniscule 18.15 ly maximum jump range, the lowest maximum jump range before [[Engineers|Engineering]] of all available ships. As a result, when optimised for combat the Mamba can struggle to jump to nearby systems, making travel across even small distances a somewhat frustrating experience. Needless to say, the Mamba is a very poor choice for an [[Explorer]]. With its higher damage output and utility slots the ship still remains an effective Anti-Xeno choice and in particular, its high speed makes it very effective at dealing with [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s.

All of the Mamba's hardpoints are located on the ship's dorsal surface. The two small hardpoints are forward of the cockpit, the two large hardpoints are on either side of the cockpit, and the huge hardpoint is behind the cockpit. Four of its utility mounts are on its ventral surface, whilst the remaining two are near the rear of the upper chassis.

The two pilot seats are on the ship's centerline, in a blister-style dorsal cockpit, as opposed to the Fer-de-Lance's slightly-offset pilot's seat. The primary pilot seat is at the front, while the secondary copilot seat is directly behind it and slightly elevated. The Mamba's cockpit includes a secondary pilot seat, giving the ship [[Multicrew]]-capability.

{{quote|Based on an unreleased racing prototype, the Mamba is one of the fastest ships in production. It can also deliver a lot of punishment, boasting one huge and two large hardpoints. This emphasis on firepower and speed means the ship can hit hard and fast, vanishing before the target has a chance to react. Comparisons to the Fer-de-Lance, also produced by Zorgon Peterson, will be inevitable, but the Mamba is in fact faster in a straight line, while being slightly less maneuverable.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Mamba''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. It directly competes with Zorgon Peterson's other premium combat vessel, the [[Fer-de-Lance]], featuring a similar array of advantages and drawbacks at a similar price point. The Mamba's key distinguishing characteristic is its increased speed potential over the Fer-de-Lance, reflecting its heritage as a racing ship. In a press release announcing the ship's debut, Zorgon Peterson stated, "If it's speed and firepower you want, the Mamba is for you. Based on a racing prototype, it's the fastest commercially available starship, and it sports enough hardpoints for a range of devastating weaponry. Whether you're leaving competitors in the dust or running rings around those pesky Thargoids, think Mamba!"<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c0fae32af3dc5310f13d5f8 GalNet: Mamba and Krait Phantom Released]</ref>
