{{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 fighter 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>

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>

{{quote|The Type-9 Heavy is Lakon Spaceways large freighter class. This ship is built to transport large cargos, a job it does very well, but it doesn't stand up well in a fight.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Type-9 Heavy''' is a heavy freighter and is one of four freighters manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. Currently it has the second largest cargo capacity of any ship available, and is roughly competitive with the much pricier Anaconda as a trader. Pilots that can afford an [[Anaconda]] frequently prefer them for trading, as they feel the greater FSD range and manoeuvrability makes up for the slightly smaller cargo capacity, allowing the Anaconda to move more cargo more quickly overall, and to a wider variety of destinations. This is at least partly a matter of 'feel', however, and many pilots continue to use the Type 9 as a trader even after obtaining Anacondas.

The Type 9 exhibits worse manoeuvrability and lower speeds than any other ship in the game; it has extreme difficulty in shaking smaller [[ships]] from its blind spot. Its five weapon [[hardpoint]]s, including three medium mounts, allow it at least some defence. Equipped with turrets, they can at least force smaller ships to operate with caution and give the Type 9 a chance to escape, but its shields and armour are nearly as bad for its size as its manoeuvrability. Most combat ships have at least a good chance to take it down if it doesn't get away quickly enough.

It first appeared in the development diary videos and in some of the live streams done by [[Frontier Developments|Frontier]]. Later it appeared in the early Alpha stages and is one of the four ships that was in the first release of the Premium Beta.

Many pilots have problems fitting through the entrance of [[Station]]s while they're first getting used to the Type 9, and it can therefore be very expensive for a new pilot to get used to. A [[Standard Docking Computer]] can be useful for players who have trouble docking this ship.

Type-9 is one of two ships in the game that boasts an open Class 8 internal module (the other one being the [[Imperial Cutter]]), although putting anything but a [[Cargo Rack]] into the Type 9's class-8 module slot eliminates a major portion of its cargo capacity and virtually neutralizes it as a serious trading ship.

It's based on the Type 6 frame but with extra weapon hardpoints. It has a reduced cargo capacity to support a higher class of powerplant, and can even accomodate a fighter bay. Its durability is improved by better defence capabilities for armour and shields. Its similiar shioluette to the Type 6 makes it a suitable vessel for commerce raiding or convoy support.|In-game description}}The '''Keelback''' is a freighter ship with enhanced combat capabilities based on a Type-6 Transporter chassis. It's confirmed to debuit in the 1.5 "Ships" update in December 2015. It was first mentioned in a list from the ''Answers from the Devs'' where it said it is an upcoming ship.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=191898&page=3&p=2952777#post2952777 Answers from the Devs 15/10/15]</ref>

As this had never been heard of, people speculated that it was an alternative name to the [[Panther Clipper]]. However, on a stream David Braben revealed that it is a ship similar to the Lakon [[Type-6 Transporter]], but with better weapon hardpoints.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdP1DmRYco8&t=32m22s Elite Dangerous - On the Horizon Episode 4 - Q&A with David Braben 6PM GMT - 04/11/2015 ]</ref> It also has a better power plant at the cost of less internal compartments.

The ship has firepower similiar to most of small combat ships, boasting two small and two medium hardpoints. Two medium are located on top of the ship, very close to the cockpit, two small ones are on the bottom a bit further back. One of three utility mounts is located on the nose of the ship directly above the frontal landing gear piece, and two more on top and at the back.

According to the in-game descriprion, this ship is capable of mounting a fighter bay, similiar to the [[Anaconda]].
