The mamba is a courier replacement...

Please can people share their fast combat ready builds - i seem to only be able to do one or another with any success so would be interested how to do a 800+ speed combat courier

Here's mine. This is a low range combat loadout. This is my high range racing loadout. Mix and match to your satisfaction. If you don't insist on keeping the 850 m/s boost, you can go for both the long range FSD and the guns. If you want to handle the heat when scooping, you can also upgrade your power plant for better shields.

Yes, I believe that is well-known now. It's really a question of whether it will be fixed in time for players to do any significant testing. In its present condition, it seems largely un-testable.

I think it (the Mamba) is very well testable, and doesn't need any further balancing, either. Unarmed testflight is here, armed loadout suggestion is here (didn't have the modules for that build lying around, but I'm wortking on it. Efficient pulses are done, preliminary dryfire test looks good, heat and power are manageable). If FD does anything to her, I'd prefer a modest boost speed increase - maybe 30 m/s more or so.
I also saw a different loadout suggestion - stick to a 6A low emissions PP and the large distributor, and go for lightweight weapons instead. Whether this (or such a) build will hold up to a FdL in a 1-on-1 is currently under discussion (and, probably, intensive testing...).
 
Come on guys the Mamba is hugely better.................................



After firing Multi-Cannons, (Yes Multi Cannons) can you cook a full English breakfast, including Toast, on the dash of the iCourier???? The Answer is NO, so the Mamba is much much better.

Tsk, Tsk, what do you Cmdrs know ;) :)

This is what I use.

You can trade some HRP's for a bi-weave, or non-light mods on the weapons.

G5 long range Class D FSD has the same range than A rated, which is nice to save weight.

G5 resistant 0E boosters to max shields/tons.
 
The size of the Mamba needs to be reduced by at least 50% for the size of its modules to make any sense. I doubt this will happen, but I can hope.

Frontier has already said it will be less hot in the next beta release.

The Mamba is not a replacement for anything. I doubt I will fly it much. It seams quite useless as it is now!
