Mamba: Difference between revisions

Line 49:

The Mamba's design draws inspiration from [[Zorgon Peterson]]'s famed [[Fer-de-Lance]] and places an emphasis on bringing heavy firepower to engagements.

In Combat, the Mamba It 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. Being a redesigned racing ship the Mamba boasts incredible speed ~~able to outspeed~~ most other ships letting it easily hunt down or escape from others. This comes at a cost to manoeuvrability, however, ~~slightly~~ reducing its overall combat effectiveness. The biggest downside is its ~~Armour~~; which is significantly lower than the FDL making it much easier to take down. Combined with its lower manoeuvrability, the Mamba ~~can be~~ a glass cannon ~~in many situations~~.

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. Being a redesigned racing ship the Mamba boasts incredible speed, being faster than most other ships letting it easily hunt down or escape from others. This comes at a heavy cost to manoeuvrability, however, reducing its overall combat effectiveness and makes it incapable of taking full advantage of its high speed. The biggest downside is its armour; which is significantly lower than the FDL making it much easier to take down. Combined with its lower manoeuvrability, the Mamba ends up more of a glass cannon; dealing high damage quickly but being unable to take hits or evade effectively.

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 miserable 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 measures are taken to conserve weight, the Mamba has a maximum jump range of a tiny 18.15lY. This is the lowest Jump range of any FSD capable ship. As a result, when optimised for combat the Mamba can struggle to even jump to neighbouring systems and can be a nightmare to travel across even small distances in space. ~~Furthermore~~, ~~it boasts better damage with its new hardpoints, against~~ [[~~Thargoids~~]] and ~~Human vessels~~, as it ~~can equip size 3 AX weaponry making it a good~~ Thargoid Interceptor ~~hunting vessel. Unlocking [[Guardian~~]] ~~weaponry, which exists in size 3 versions and is also effective against Thargoids, can also be useful in making the ship a multirole fighter with weaponry effective against humand and Thargoid ships~~.

Needless to say, the Mamba is the worst [[Explorer]] ship in the game. 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|Interceptors]].

Cost wise the Mamba is only slightly more expensive than the FDL making it simply become a choice between the two. Overall the Mamba boasts ~~slightly~~ better damage output and greater speeds than FDL but has lower manoeuvrability, reduced armour and a pathetic jump range and cargo capacity ~~as well as being a worse anti-xeno ship~~. The downsides do outweigh the benefits, however which ship to choose comes down to preference in most situations.

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.

Line 167:

*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.
