FD PLEASE!! Release the Black Friday Mamba skin this Black Friday, don't wait for next year!

Release Black Friday paint jobs for all ships!

I have this for my whole fleet except my Chieftain and Krait and these NEED to be BLACK!

From the first look of new Mamba - it will be only ship that I fly for quite some time. Gorgeous look, gorgeous weapon slots, gorgeous view!

If only some insights about it's manoeuvrability...

Manoverability is more than a python but less than a challenger.
 
Meanwhile ... a year later .... (less than 2 weeks to go!)

(Sorry for the necro, but the thread title just begged to come back, as presumably the mamba will get the Midnight Black this year ;) )
It will be black and have white checkers on it ........ and a number 42 in white 🤭
 
Ah, I wasn't sure. Wonder if we'll get Black PJs for all teh new ships they added this year? 🤔
Good point. Is this the first year there's been no new ships?

We might get a 'greatest hits' Black Friday sale this year, featuring previous Black Friday paintjobs, in lieu of anything new.

And do you think they'll remember to take the Fleet Carrier paintjobs out of the sale?:unsure:
 
Tactical graphite looks nicer on every ship except the Orca.
I prefer Black Friday on my iEagle...

It was one of the ones LEPers were given last year along with the snowflake & snowman. My Black Mamba is called Beatrix (Kill Bill reference) :)
Don't we already get all the Black Friday paint jobs anyway as owners of the base game? I thought that was part of getting the game before Horizons or something. Or maybe it was for pre-ordering Horizons. Something like that.

Being double gifted the actual same thing from Frontier has a charm all its own. :D

YOUR FAULT! Holy necrothread .. I only read the first page and a half, Khaaaaaaan!

I have a black paint for mamba I haven't used yet because did you know, the black mamba is not named because it's a black snake. The inside of a mamba's mouth is black, the snake is kind of grey. So surely as long as the Commanda in the cockpit has a 'death from above' type cold steel heart, any ship can be a 'black' mamba? I'll get my coat.
 
This is great. I've not managed to get into the beta yet so had no idea the Mamba is back. That is what I meant by re-introduced. It was one of the original ships from '84, and like the Krait, as ship us long timers have been wanting to see back again.

Seeing this, I think we should have Elite '84 paint jobs: Pitch black with thick white edges retracing the original '84 low poly shapes of the ship.
