{{quote|Faulcon deLacy's Viper MkIV takes the MkIII model and beefs it up to a heavy fighter role. While it lacks the speed of the older ship, it enjoys much better protection from its shields and armour. With the capacity for a more capable powerplant and frame shift drive, the MkIV is also better suited for long-range patrols and rapid deployment. The powerplant upgrade potential supports greater customization for weapons and modules, making this a versatile fighter that would be and excellent addition to any navy or private-security concern.|In-Game Description}}The '''Viper MkIV''', built by [[Faulcon DeLacy]], is a heavy fighter craft designed for ship-to-ship combat superiority. 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>

==Overview==
The Viper MkiV is a variant of the MKIII; sacrificing mobility for armour and multi-role. Its appearance is almost identical to the MkIII and it can be extremely difficult to tell the two apart, especially with the former's ship kit.

By default, the MkIV has weaker shields than the MkIII due to its higher hull mass. However, the MkIV is capable of fitting a larger, class-4 [[Shield Generator|shield generator]], unlike the MkIII's class-3. This, combined with an improved hull, gives the MkIV superior protection. These improvements over the MkIII come with the drawbacks of slightly reduced 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. This makes it easy to take out with nimble ships like [[Eagle]] and [[Cobra MkIII|Cobra]] and has the disadvantage in a direct firefight against a Viper MkIII.

The Viper MkIV's hard-point options are identical to its predecessor. It has two small [[hardpoints|hard-points]] located on either side of the cockpit and two medium hard-points located beneath it. However, unlike the Viper MkIII (which has underside-mounted class-2 medium hard-points on a horizontally flat plane), the class-2 medium hard-points of the MkIV are on a slightly angled part of the hull. Overall the Viper MIV is a trade of mobility for defences and can more appealing to commanders used to bulkier ships. Whether it is better or worse comes down to player preference and skill, however, it does have a much higher price-tag. The higher cargo capacity also makes it a more viable pirate to carry loot, however, it is worse at interdicting ships.

The Viper MIV can be useful in multi-role. With 50T of capacity it is a surprisingly effective trader for a fighter class and an average jump range lets the ship take on an explorer role. The issue is that its price puts it above the [[Cobra MkIII]] which is a far better multi-role ship and is also just as effective in combat. The Viper MkIV can be seen as a more combat focus alternative to the [[Cobra MkIII|Cobra]].

The Viper MkIV's underside-mounted class-2 medium hard-points have a fairly narrow field of fire. Because they are placed further down the ship, gimballed and turreted weapons cannot aim very far above the centre crosshair without the front of the ship obstructing their line of fire. The two class-1 small hard-points, which are placed in front of the cockpit of the ship, do not suffer from this problem. 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.

While the Viper MkIV has no Ship Kit, it seems to have several pieces of the Viper MKIII kit permanently attached.

== Trivia ==
* The Viper MkIV was added to [[Elite Dangerous]] in the 1.5 Update.
* At the EGX event [[David Braben]] said it ''"trades a bit of manoeuvrability and speed for better internals, but it's got the same hardpoint layout as the standard [[Viper MkIII|Viper]]"''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Em7TLwFifE&t=31m Elite Dangerous EGX panel livestream]</ref>
* In Newsletter #92 it was stated that every Kickstarter beta backer or above will find a Viper MkIV docked at a [[starport]] for free.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=5fd2c5476a Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #92]</ref>
* Along with the Cobra and Viper MkIII, the MkIV is one of the most common ships piloted by security forces.

{{quote|The Adder is another classic design, this ship was tailored as a general utility vessel. the original model was first built in 2914 by Outworld Workshops and the type is now manufactured by Zorgon Peterson. Although lightly armed it has more cargo capacity than a Sidewinder and this ship can often be seen doing shuttle runs as well as light trading.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Adder''' is a small multi-purpose ship excellent as a bridge between the Sidewinder and the [[Cobra Mk. III]]. In addition to being a potentially viable dogfighter with proper equipment, the Adder has the distinction of being the least expensive ship capable of mounting a Class II [[Mining Laser]], making it a potentially useful starting point for aspiring [[miner]]s. The Adder's respectable jump range of at maximum 25ly also makes it a potentially capable exploratory vessel, and its maximum cargo capacity of 26 without shields makes it the largest cargo capacity trading vessel to cost less than 100,000 Credits.

Its inexpensiveness and respectable general-purpose capabilities make it a rugged, attractive craft, especially for newer Commanders.

Sidewinder

2014-08-14T13:32:56Z

81.111.145.50: Added insurance.

[[File:Sidewinder16x9.jpg|thumb|400px|Sidewinder Mk. I]]
Built by [[Faulcon DeLacy]], the '''Sidewinder Mk I''' is a superb multi-role ship suitable for any role. It is inexpensive - free, in fact - and can be used for light transport and combat duties.

Its maneuverability makes it an excellent choice for both green and experienced pilots. The Sidewinder is a dependable vessel that will get you where you need to go, safe and sound.

== Overview (Beta) ==
The Sidewinder is the default craft offered throughout the game. The player starts in one, and if at any time their ship is destroyed they can get a free Sidewinder if they can't or don't want to replace their ship. New players who still struggle with learning the game, may find flying it for a longer time or going back to it often.

Although the Sidewinder is cheap, it is not harmless; it is very maneuverable compared to any other available ship, save the [[Eagle Mk II|Eagle]]. In particular, it can out-turn a [[Cobra Mk. III|Cobra]] or [[Anaconda]], stay aimed at subsystems, and still keep enough range to lay down fire. Combined with heavy weaponry like missile pods, the Sidewinder can punch far above its weight. The major disadvantages of the Sidewinder is that it isn't very quick, being outclassed by Eagles, [[Viper Mk III|Vipers]], and Cobras, and that it isn't well armored, being far outclassed by Anacondas and [[Lakon Type 9|Lakon haulers]].

The Sidewinder is thus a master of the knife-fight, but a little weak at a distance. When flying one, using its excellent turning to lock opponents into circling matches, and burning away opposite of the enemy to escape are advised tactics. When fighting a Sidewinder, keep it at range and lay down heavy fire if the current ship can't outmaneuver it, and it should be destroyed quickly; with a ship that has can keep up with its turning, close in and blast away, making sure to stay away from its front.
