"Does not compute" appears in different shows indeed, however I believe there is only one instance (film) where a computer says it.
Discovery One?
I'ts Mother, in Alien.
I can't remember HAL saying it (although I could be wrong there, haven't wathched 2001 in a while...).
Feels so appropriate for an Explo-Mamba!
Forbidden Planet?
All I have seen was the table showing type names and which limpets they supported, if the performance and controller sizes means that more thought is required than lets just bung in a controller then I am much happier than I was.
I learnt my landed ship stuff along time ago when one of the things that could be guaranteed was a recalled ship will land in the most inaccessible possible unless you recalled it to the bottom of a canyon when there was a chance it would try to fly through the walls and destroy itself. So I tend not to dismiss my ship unless I am close to something where I can expect armed visitors where I now plan to dismiss if I have landed too close.
So it used to be no but Odyssey is changing that to maybe.
So, I started flying the conda. The initial version was a poor guys minimal D rated travel/trader build, I found the handling in normal flight is not bad with G3 dirty drag thruster, not on par with vette of course. I can feel the pain turning it supercruise tho... I don't understand why the handling difference. 
Vette win in this aspect.
Next part, jump range. I'm very happy with it, it is on par with my DBX lol.
Then I transferred the core & utility mods from vette to conda, putting some gunz in it and take her out to HazRes for a ride. I dumped those small MCs then, that 2 hardpoints are wasting my power
. It's less agile than the vette but FA-off handling is actually better because of this.
Even with the gunz up, conda can still jump like 30LY with 100t+ cargo. Nice armed trade ship!!!

For a long time the Anaconda was my main ship. It could do anything I needed.
I still have 2 of them, although I don't use them as much nowadays. I've sort of changed to using more specialized ships for each task. Sort of. lol.
But yes, the Anaconda is a great experience. Everyone should have at least one

It'll be interesting to hear how you get on with exploring in a Mamba as it's not particularly blessed for that kind of role.Just finished outfitting and engineering my exploration Mamba, which I will use for my next expedition in the black, next month.
Can't wait to leave!
But I love to hear about unconventional set-ups so do post back with how you're doing!
Fot the past five months, I have been using extensively a Hauler for daily stuff and mid range travels and exploration.
After setting up the Mamba, I realised that in terms of stats and modules, it is pretty identical to the Hauler, so I am not expecting surprises there. The main difference is that it is massive and it will be hard to find a landing spot: the Hauler lands everywhere, so I am spoiled now!
the App i talking about is create by chrome Iexplorer
this create a small icon on taskbar, that opens a window straight to inara
Finally Got there, with the aid of Artie

Yes, the Cutter almost seems it was built to be a miner. Not true of course and certainly not the ship a newcomer would utilise but yeah... You can fit all the tools and oodles of cargo space to stash all that mined goodness. 512 tons of platinum can rake in ~250mCR on a good day.
Hope my current slow connection doesn't break on the downloadthe App i talking about is create by chrome Iexplorer

Oh, lulz I can squeeze a SRV hangar into this build too!! sweetz~
One thing I noticed in the Oddity release notes:
Controls:
Now that will be great news if it actually does the job.
Controls:
- Key binds preset will no longer reset when you open Horizons after Odyssey.
