Truly love the Mandalay for traveling. It’s insanely zippy in supercruise making for quicker transitions between stars, the jump range is bonkers even before engineering, and the thermal efficiency means you don’t even need to clear the star before jumping. Also it’s unbelievably stable in SCO, and maintains overcharge for way longer before overheating.
I still love the ‘conda because it does everything, but it’s a fuggin’ boat and flies like one.
The Mandalay can overheat?
Now that you mention it, I have absolutely no proof that it’s even possible.
