Running crimes-on in a build that cripples, but doesn't destroy, is probably the most annoying thing to do to a ganker at Farseer's anyway. Since he's wanted there he won't be able to dock and repair, leaving him with an irritating round trip to go and get fixed and come back. A rebuy is just credits.

I was already wanted, I don't or can't dock long before anyone shows up to "annoy" me.
When I went on hiatus back when the forums got unnecessarily altered, everyone was saying the Mamba was no good. Did something change, or did people just finally warm up to it?

It's "Ok" but nothing special.
It's a great "Ganking" ship as you can slap a bunch of Frags and a strong shield with boosters on it. Other than that the ship is Meh IMO

That's exactly the nightmare scenario I'm concerned about facing. A two man FDL/Mamba paring is going to either be able to keep you masslocked long enough to kill you, or out turn you if you try to stay close.
I think boost and highwake might be the only trick left with such a situation.
Might have to get the blueprints for my 'battle cattle' type 9 out.
Not really. It's just got the high speed to keep a runner in mass lock for a decent length of time.
Which frags? If you have a build you would care to share, I would be much obliged. Thank you, Replicant.
What do you put in the huge with this frag build of yours?
Probably another frag. Considering the high DPS of frags you're not losing anything by putting a large frag in a huge slot.

I wonder how three Pacifiers and two small rails do on a Mamba.
Pretty good. I haven't used it all that much but I've popped a few ships with mine.
Does the speed and mass lock of the Mamba match well with the extended range and tighter spread of the Pacifiers? That's what I was thinking.
EDIT: Clarity
Not really sure what you mean

Uhhhhh. Not my build Krash Lol!
I've just seen many run it and they usually just slap a large frag in the Class 4 slot
HD Stacked Frag Mamba? YUCK!!!!
I edited the post for clarity. Sorry. Was wondering if the speed and masslock of the Mamba had good synergy with the spread and range of the Pacifiers (they are better in that regard than regular frags, yes?).
Ah, bummer. I hadn’t finished engineering mine when I took a break so I haven’t really used it yet. I’m only setting it up for PvE, though.
That's not harassment. He likes PvP. You gave him what he wanted. Good for you; I wish more cmdrs were like you.

I don't run this build, as I am not a mamba guy, but It's usually 3 Large Frags and 2 small ones. Grade 5 Overcharged. 2 Large Incendiary, 1 Large Screening Shell or Dazzle, 1 Small Drag and 1 Small Corrosive.Which frags? If you have a build you would care to share, I would be much obliged. Thank you, Replicant.
6 Boosters. 4 HD 1 Thermal and 1 Resistant Augmented with all Super Capacitors
5A Prismatic Grade 5 Reinforced with High Cap
All Hull under that (2500ish) and a C1 Interdictor
It's strong, and good for ramming, but has no passive regen.
Self destruct is a 30sec countdown? You'll need some decent engineering to survive that long my friend.
