And probably overheats heavily when you keep boosting.

I should hope so.

From the patch notes:

Mamba

• Increased top end speed
• Increased pitch rate when below max PIPs
• Slightly reduced the ENG usage on boost
• Slightly increased heat gain to compensate

 

[Zieman]

How much did it boost pre batch? 386 m/s?

Not sure. But the top speed has been increased also.

 

[Flin]

Just checked Coriolis for the pre-patch values.

Either Coriolis is already updated or values haven't changed

 

[Hinoarashi]

pre-patch:
306m/s
377m/s

Honestly this isnt fast enough.. that increase is minimal and still leaves it slower than the clipper and only slightly faster than the phantom.

Where is the problem with that?

Ok, thanks.

And D'OH - I just realised the talk is about STOCK Mamba = E-rated everything, that's why the numbers didn't seem very impressive...

It is supposed to be a ship racer no ? What is the point of it being slow....

 

[Bortas]

pre-patch:
306m/s
377m/s

So they buffed the top speed and boost speed by 10 m/s? Nothing was unleashed then.

 

[Hinoarashi]

pre-patch with A rated G5 dirty drive-drag drives: 540m/s (reactive hull engineered and weapons and other heavy stuff)
now Coriolis says 588m/s

Not Bad for a combat ship with his punch.

And then made it overheat even more easily to compensate.

Z...

Its actually a combat ship based on a racing prototype.

How fast does it go A-rated and stripped for speed? Would be nice to have a baseline before an engineered state.

Buy & kit one & tell us?

360/441 according to cori. It doesnt weight much, so you can add a fair bit of stuff while keeping (close to) the top speed.

Cori didnt have the right stats to begin with so.

In fact it still doesnt. Says my build can boost to 603, in game its 586

Coriolis says boost to 640 and change. If you fiddle around, a full weapons loadout in a lightweight shield based setup is possible while keeping that speed - although I'd hate having to take that against a well shielded/armoured PvP build, my Courier has better shields (and hull) than that.
But the speed vs. mass curve in Coriolis drops very slowly.
