Often agree with you 777, and do here, the looks are really good, but hell no the performances is bad, REALLY bad. i have not verified this fact myself but yamiks demonstrated the Mamba to have the 3rd worst Pitch in the game, not great for a dedicated combat ship.

She's very specific. Only a view hours tested yet, no PvP. Her big advantages are balanced by some apparent handicaps. Boom & Zoom? More like an energy fighter not a turner obviously.
I like the fact she'll not be a "win button".

Yeah but who doesn't like "To Win" It's a very British attitude that winning isn't everything, but 'it's the Taking Part' :eek: Nope this brit (Actually i am English, not British) likes to Win! LOL ;) Gimme me a God Button on my Ship and i'll press it next time i get into a fight with an FDL and he/she is spanking my bottom and mu shields are going down faster than the latest brexit deal!

Definitely nothing wrong with being a Victor [up] LOL or competition. Yup, as for performance, thats what betas are for, Frontier has to make the B&Z work somehow. As far as I can see, the chap with longest time on target tot wins. The ship needs to make those weapon hit hard enough. As often as possible. But, we all know there are so many variables ....

Thanks for the replay Wasp0 - so you are a real Engländer [praise] appreciate that humor, O7 and fly safe Commander to you too!


Cheers

Lol Yamicks, has he started posting videos about pitching with ships? Dear lord, he should stick to videos about grinding. I remember when the Cutter was in Beta, Youtubers pitching the ship all over the place calling it useless, never listened to them, never will, half of those guys have no idea how to fly a ship.

Disclaimer, am not stating the Mamba is great performance wise (except straight line speed) I doubt the devs ever intended it to be that way, took one out last night for a bit of combat, had no issues, will spend some more time in it tonight. Cmdrs need to learn how to adapt to new ships.

She runs hot, that was my only real gripe, everything else is a learning curve to get the best out of it.

Yep, I have zero issues with the way the Mamba flies.
I've had no problems keeping any NPCs in my sights in it... which, possibly, suggests that NPCs could be flying smaller ships a bit better, but I digress.

My main issues with the Mamba are, obviously, the heat and the fact that there's no up-side to it being such a big ship, which makes it a big target.
If it's intended to be a viable alternative to the FdL, the heat needs sorting out and it needs something to convince me it's a good idea to fly a big ship instead of a smaller one.

And if it's not, what is it for?
