Mamba Speed Fix When??

The Mamba now has the highest acceleration in the game, more than the Eagle. It can go from 605 (combat loadout) in one direction to 605 in the other in less than 5 seconds. While that may not be "faster" than a Clipper, it still takes the Clipper 7 seconds just to reach 615 from 0, and nearly 3 times longer to make the same turnaround maneuver. Having wide hardpoints and poor acceleration is a fine tradeoff for the extra hull and regen it has.

If you were to put the Clipper against the Mamba in a race through an obstacle course that had sharp turns, the Mamba would blow the Clipper away.

Yeah, it's forward and boost acceleration is very impressive and unlike most every other ship in the game, it accelerates just as fast (non-boosted, of course) in reverse; which is probably a good explanation for why the drive segments look so large, despite the class 5 thurster module (a lot of thrust accelerating and redirection/ducting hardware).

Post patch, boost speed for Stock Mamba is now 387m/s.

602 pre patch to 615 post patch.

Edit : 642 stripped down by storing non essentials.

The pitch increase is nice and noticeable, heat increase seems easily manageable.

Pretty sure they restored the speed to Beta 3 levels. My rather light combat explorer setup is boosting to 629m/s.
