Viper Mk IV

 

Faulcon deLacy's Viper Mk. IV takes the Mk.III 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 Mk.IV 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 Mk IV, built by Faulcon DeLacy, is an upcoming ship to Elite Dangerous in the Update 1.5. It is the successor to the Viper Mk III.

According to David Braben on EGX event it "trades a bit of manoeuvrability and speed for better internals, but it's got the same hardpoint layout as the standard Viper".

In Newsletter #92 it was stated that every Kickstarter beta backer or above will find a Viper Mk IV docked at a starport for free.
