Would the new pre-built drag Mamba be good for a novice?
Context: I’ve been playing E:D for about 7 years, with a large gap after Odyssey was released. I would rate myself as somewhere between n00b and mid when it comes to PvE combat - I’ve experimented before with FA-off and mostly spun out of control. I’ve done some light laser disco work with a T10 in lowRes sites, but let’s be honest that is shooting fish in a barrel. My son has the prebuilt Vulture, and while the free instantiation is a perk, the loadout itself strikes me as underwhelming.
I’m ready to try out this CG and venture into my first CZ, but I know enough that my T10 won’t do. Neither will my T9 shieldless trader nor Mandalay kitted out for exploration. So here’s my question—would the new prebuilt Mamba be a good investment for someone like me hoping to join the CG?
