The '''Mandalay''' is | {{quote|Zorgon Peterson has created a new breed of exploration vessel, designed to better handle planetary flight through the use of advanced micro thrusters to compensate for varied gravitational forces. The Mandalay offers pilots both an incredible jump range and a superior planetary exploration experience. With state-of-the-art drive stabilisers and an integrated polymer weave hull, the Mandalay’s design also allows superior management of overcharged Frame Shift Drives.|In-Game Description}} | ||
The '''Mandalay''' is a medium explorer [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. It is touted as the next-generation of [[Explorer|exploration]] ships with [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|FSD (SCO)]] optimization.<ref name=":1">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwO1Yhk5zbU Elite Dangerous | Frontier Unlocked Highlight | Mandalay Gameplay] - Elite Dangerous on YouTube - 26 September 2024</ref> Early access for [[ARX]] started on 31 Oct 2024.<ref name=":2" /> It became available for purchase using in-game [[credits]] on 26 Feb 2025 for Odyssey owners.<ref name=":6">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-1-0-0 Elite Dangerous: Trailblazers]</ref> | |||

According to [[Frontier Developments|Frontier]], the Mandalay outperforms the [[Anaconda]] in terms of jump range.<ref name=":1" /> The ship is optimized for [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|SCO-capable frame shift drives]]—however, it has a lower overall top speed in SCO than the [[Python Mk II]] and [[Type-8 Transporter|Type-8]], but far better fuel economy and ease of control.<ref name=":1" /> Its maneuverability is comparable to the [[Diamondback Explorer]].<ref name=":1" /> The Mandalay comes with a 32 t fuel tank and can equip a size 6 fuel scoop, much like other popular explorer ships such as the [[Asp Explorer]] and [[Krait Phantom]].<ref name=":1" /> | According to [[Frontier Developments|Frontier]], the Mandalay outperforms the [[Anaconda]] in terms of jump range.<ref name=":1" /> The ship is optimized for [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|SCO-capable frame shift drives]]—however, it has a lower overall top speed in SCO than the [[Python Mk II]] and [[Type-8 Transporter|Type-8]], but far better fuel economy and ease of control.<ref name=":1" /> Its maneuverability is comparable to the [[Diamondback Explorer]].<ref name=":1" /> The Mandalay comes with a 32 t fuel tank and can equip a size 6 fuel scoop, much like other popular explorer ships such as the [[Asp Explorer]] and [[Krait Phantom]].<ref name=":1" /> | ||
The boarding ramp is under the cockpit which makes it easier to line up the landing for [[Exobiologist|exobiological]] scanning. The cockpit floor is transparent for a clear view of planetary terrain. | The boarding ramp is under the cockpit which makes it easier to line up the landing for [[Exobiologist|exobiological]] scanning. The cockpit design is based on the [[Mamba]], but the floor is transparent for a clear view of planetary terrain. | ||
The two small hardpoints are located on the dorsal fore of the ship, on either side of the cockpit canopy, while the four medium hardpoints are similarly close to the centerline toward the aft, around the base of the wings, with two on the underside and two mounted dorsally. | |||
