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. | 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.

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 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.
