Its improved internal capabilities, such as its ability to fit a class-4 [[Power Plant|power plant]], make it more capable as a multirole fighter compared to the [[Viper MkIII]], of which it is the successor.<sup><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/291 Dev Update (17/09/2015)]</ref></sup>

The Viper MkIV has a delta-shaped hull which is significantly wider than the MkIII. The cockpit is situated just behind the bow, slightly raised. Compared to the MkIII, the MkIV's cockpit is less exposed.

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

The MkIV has worse shields than the MkIII by default due to its higher hull mass. Despite this, the MkIV is capable of fitting a class-4 Shield Generator, unlike the MkIII. This, combined with an improved hull, give the MkIV superior protection.

These improvements over the MkIII come with the drawbacks of slightly worse manoeuvrability and speed. The MkIV also features a larger hull, which makes it a bigger target. Like the MkIII, it has poor heat dissipation. Prolonged usage of high-output modules easily pushes the ship's temperature over its cooling capacity.

The Viper MkIV's hardpoint options are identical to its predecessor, having two small [[hardpoints]] located on either side of the cockpit and two medium hardpoints located beneath it. However, unlike the Viper MkIII (which has underside-mounted class-2 medium hardpoints on a horizontally flat plane), the class-2 medium hardpoints of the MkIV are on a slightly angled part of the hull.

Viper Mk III

2014-09-18T10:33:14Z

78.215.0.152: Add Insurance Price

[[File:ViperFlyby.jpg|thumb|400px|Viper Mk. III]]
The '''Viper Mk. III''' made its first appearance in the game in Standard Beta 1. It is the main vessel used by station security forces and law enforcement, and is currently the fastest ship available to purchase. It is a highly effective combatant, with a turning rate comparable to that of the Sidewinder and the same weapon capacity as the Cobra Mk. III. This has resulted in a "run away from whatever you can't beat" ship which has been known (with sufficient skill) to defeat any other ship class released thus far in single combat.

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.

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

Eagle

2014-09-18T10:31:38Z

78.215.0.152: mistake on insurance price

[[File:Screenshot 0034.jpg|thumb|400px|Eagle Mk. II]]

The '''Eagle Mk. II''' is an agile fighter sporting 3 weapon hardpoints. It is arguably the most manuverable ship currently in the game, as well as being the cheapest combat-specialised vessel. However, it suffers from a very short hyperspace range in current betas, as well as a tendency to overheat, meaning many commanders skip it or don't stay in it long.

In September 2014 Frontier announced that the Eagle will become a second starting ship for all players who pre-order the game, including existing beta and Kickstarter supporters. This additional Eagle will be a second ship that will be parked in a different system, which players can take control of instead of their starting ship.
