{{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}}<br />
<br />
The '''Viper MkIV''', built by [[Faulcon DeLacy]], is an ship added to [[Elite Dangerous]] in the 1.5 Update. It is the successor to the [[Viper MkIII]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/291 Dev Update (17/09/2015)]</ref><br />
<br />
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><br />
<br />
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><br />
