The Mamba is a ship manufactured by Zorgon Peterson.

Overview

The Mamba's design places an emphasis on bringing heavy firepower to engagements. It features two small hardpoints, two large hardpoints, and 1 huge hardpoint, making it the only medium ship other than the Fer-de-Lance capable of mounting Class 4 weaponry. It is also the only ship of any size other than the Fer-de-Lance with a total of six utility slots. The Mamba's cockpit includes a secondary pilot seat, making the ship Multicrew-capable.

All of the Mamba's hardpoints are located on the ship's dorsal surface. The two small hardpoints are forward of the cockpit, the two large hardpoints are on either side of the cockpit, and the huge hardpoint is behind the cockpit. The Mamba is the second medium ship that can mount class 4 weaponry, the other being the Fer-De-lance also manufactured by Zorgon Peterson.

The two pilot seats are on the ship's centerline, in a blister-style dorsal cockpit. The primary pilot seat is at the front, while the secondary seat is directly behind it.

Notes

• The Mamba will be released with the Chapter Four (3.3) update of Elite Dangerous: Beyond in Q4 2018. Purchasing it requires owning Elite Dangerous: Horizons.
