{{quote|The Viper Mk III is the most recent development of the most successful fighter classes ever built. The original Viper Defence Craft was designed by Faulcon Manspace in 2762 in the Reorte shipyards. The basic model was beefed up with the Viper II by Faulcon deLacy. The new Viper III is a revitalised model with a new more armoured look. It is a top class fighter found in many well-equipped police and naval forces.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Viper Mk III''' is a medium fighter craft designed for agile ship-to-ship combat. Its minimal design combined with excellent modularity make it a popular choice for security units and [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]]. At a relatively low cost of just over 140,000 [[credits]], it is also a great combat ship for entry-level Commanders.

The Viper has a delta-shaped hull which tapers to form two prongs at the front. The cockpit is situated just behind the bow, slightly raised. This gives the pilot an excellent view without exposing the canopy to potential damage.

The Viper lands on two small rear struts and one large front strut which doubles as a boarding ramp to the cockpit.

The Viper, like all modern ships, is powered by a [[Power Plant|nuclear fusion reactor]]. It is propelled by two primary [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_rocket fusion/plasma engines] which provide forward thrust and are capable of reverse thrust. Smaller thrusters act as stabilizers and provide force for pitch, roll, and yaw manoeuvres.

[[Heat]] is dissipated through radiators at the rear of the ship. The Viper is also capable of using [[Heat Sink Launcher|heat sink launchers]] to expel heat.

The Viper has two small [[hardpoint]]s located on either side of the cockpit and two medium hardpoints located beneath it. This provides a range of options for weapons loadouts.

=== Tactical Considerations ===
The '''Viper Mk III''' made its first appearance in Standard Beta 1. It is a vessel used by [[Station]] security forces and law enforcement, and is currently one of the fastest [[ships]] available to purchase. It is primarily intended for combat; compared to the multi-role [[Cobra Mk. III]], it has the same weapons capacity, slightly stronger shields per shield class, slightly weaker hull, marginally slower turn rate, much faster strafe speed, faster speed under normal thrust and slower speed under boost.

Its main drawbacks are that its heat dissipation, power generation and [[hyperspace]] capacity do not equal that of the Cobra, which limits the value of having the same hardpoint capacity; mounting the ship's full weapon weight makes it very short-ranged, and an energy-heavy armament causes it to either overheat or use all available power very quickly. Fuel is also an issue as the ship comes with capacity of only four tons.

In addition to its official police/security role, the Viper's speed, range, and combat capability make it ideal for bounty hunters, small-load [[courier]]s, [[Mercenary|mercenaries]] or [[smuggler]]s, while its small cargo capacity makes it a very poor choice for [[trader]]s, and a survivable but inadequately profitable platform for [[pirates]].

With proper fitting, the Viper is an excellent fighter capable of standing its ground against more expensive ships.

==Frontier: Elite II Star Systems==
The following table contains a list of core systems from [[Frontier: Elite II|Frontier: Elite 2]]. They are based on real systems from our own Milky Way galaxy and so are very likely to feature in the new [[Elite: Dangerous]] game. Once alpha and beta starts, we'll be able to add more information to the table, even creating dedicated pages for each system as it gets explored.

The co-ordinates are likely to change when the game comes out, as the Galaxy in F:E2 was flattened a lot so some stars weren't in their real positions.
