The '''Mamba''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Zorgon Peterson]].

== Overview ==
The Mamba's design places an emphasis on bringing heavy firepower to engagements; its raw firepower is amongst the highest of its size class, only narrowly surpassed by the [[Federal Gunship]] and its famous brother, the Fer-De-Lance. It features two small hardpoints, two large hardpoints, and one huge hardpoint, making it the only medium ship other than the [[Fer-de-Lance]] capable of mounting Class 4 weaponry. It also features six utility slots, matched only by the Fer-de-Lance and [[Beluga Liner]]. The Mamba's cockpit includes a secondary pilot seat, making the ship [[Multicrew]]-capable.

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 underside, 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.



== Notes ==
*The Mamba will be released with the Chapter Four (3.3) update of ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]]'' in Q4 2018. Purchasing it requires owning ''[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]]''.

== Trivia ==
*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.
