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 a tank with a capacity of only 4 tons, and it can be extremely difficult to find a fuel efficient setup that does not compromise combat ability.

In addition to its official police/security role, the Viper's speed, range and combat capability make it ideal for [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]]s, 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 [[pirate]]s.
