[[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

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.
