{{quote|The Viper MkIII 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 MkIII''' is a light 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 but if you type IDDQD (at least on PC) the Viper will somehow detach the heat sinks and guide them toward an enemy (only if you are in combat, though) The heat sinks will explode, dealing massive damage and have a chance to disable a ship's thrusters, essentially making the enemy a sitting duck.

Of course this isn't true. Now go outside for once.

== Tactical Considerations ==
The '''Viper MkIII''' 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 MkIII]], 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.

{{quote|The Anaconda is the pride of Faulcon deLacy's ship yards. The design was first manufactured in 2856 by RimLiner Galactic. After numerous mergers the template was eventually owned by Faulcon deLacy, who have made only minor changes to the classic design. The Anaconda is a versatile craft that can transport large cargos as well as pack a decent punch. Some smaller navies use the Anaconda in the light cruiser and frigate roles. The Anaconda can also be upgraded with a docking bay allowing small fighters up to Sidewinder size to be carried and launched.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Anaconda''' is currently the largest ship that is able to be piloted by a player in [[Elite: Dangerous]]. Boasting an array of weapon [[hardpoint]]s this ship is a formidable [[combat]] ship capable of holding its own against multiple opponents. It and the [[Fer-de-Lance]] are currently the only [[ships]] capable of equipping the powerful Class 4 [[Plasma Accelerators]]. Some [[trader]]s also make use of this ship due to its high jump range, enormous cargo capacity (second only to the [[Lakon Type-9 Heavy]]), and superb defensive capabilities.
