	== Overview ==		== Overview ==
	The Viper Mk III is a [[combat]]-focused vessel commonly used by [[station]] security forces and other law enforcement organisations. Compared to the multi-role [[Cobra ~~MkIII~~]], it has the same weapons capacity, slightly stronger shields per shield class, slightly weaker hull, marginally slower turn rate, much faster strafe speed, faster speed under normal thrust and slower speed under boost. The Viper is also currently one of the fastest [[ships]] available on the market, and an optimised build can achieve speeds as high as approximately 870 m/s while boosting; the [[Imperial Eagle]] can surpass that and reach a little over 900 m/s, but the Viper can turn more easily and activate its boost more frequently.

	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. Fuel is also an issue as the ship comes with capacity of only four tons. In addition to its official police/security role, the Viper's speed, range, and combat capability make it ideal for bounty hunters, small-load [[courier]]s, [[Mercenary\|mercenaries]] or [[smuggler]]s, while its small cargo capacity makes it a very poor choice for [[trader]]s, and a survivable but inadequately profitable platform for [[pirates]]. With proper fitting, the Viper is an excellent fighter capable of standing its ground against more expensive ships.

	The Viper ~~MkIII~~'s weapon hardpoints are located as follows: two Class 1 hardpoints in front of cockpit on the upper surface, and two Class 2 hardpoints on the underside of the ship with one on each side of the cargo scoop. This provides a range of options for weapons loadouts. The Viper Mk III has a delta-shaped hull which tapers to form two prongs at the front. The cockpit is situated just behind the bow, slightly raised. This gives the pilot an excellent view without exposing the canopy to potential damage. The Viper Mk III lands on two small rear struts and one large front strut which doubles as a boarding ramp to the cockpit.
