Overview
Fighter which grew out of custom-built primarily designed for racing purposes but adopted and armed by pirates due to its high speed and maneuverability. Cargo space was added later when Raddlett and Rayburn Shipyards (based at Reorte) standardized the variances and began manufacturing the craft in large numbers.
Elite Player's Guide: This is the pirates' answer to the Viper Patrol Ship; fast and manoeuvrable but large enough to carry two homing missiles and ten tonnes of cargo.
ArcElite
The Mamba is a fast and very manouverable ship originally designed for racing. Conversion into a more menacing form was hampered by a problem - radiation from Radder's Fluxloc shields often caused missiles to confuse source with target. Thus the Mamba was left barren with an obviously low OffRat.
Dry Dock
During coding of Classic Elite 'dry-dock' code was used to view some of the ships during development (referred to as *VIEW on Ian Bell's web site). A movie for the Mamba generated using *VIEW run under the BBC emulator BeebEm3 is available here.
