The Viper Mk IV\u00a0<\/strong>is a powerful medium fighter. It is not as fast and agile as the Viper Mk III<\/a> model but it has better shields and stronger hull.<\/p>\n

It has a Class 3 Military compartment and 2 Class 4 internal compartments so you can make a nice tank configuration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Mk IV model also have better jump range and more cargo space making it more versatile - the Mk III is primarily a combat ship only.<\/p>\n

The Viper Mk IV has better weapons and shields compared to the Sidewinder,\u00a0Eagle Mk II<\/a> and Imperial Eagle<\/a>. It has the same weapons as Viper Mk III.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If only the Viper Mk IV had stronger weapons and more agility I would probably be flying it more often, but I prefer the Vulture<\/a> as it has even stronger shields and hull and also much more powerful weapons. However the Vulture is much more expensive, so for the price the Viper Mk IV is a great ship for bounty hunting in RES or USS, conflict zones etc. and you can also fit some cargo space.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Should I buy a Viper Mk III or Viper Mk IV?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They can carry the same weapons.\u00a0The Mk IV has better shields and can carry more than twice as much cargo, and also has better jump range (25,6 vs 21,3 ly).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Mk IV can equip a Class 4 shield where the Mk III can only equip a Class 3 and the Mk IV hull is also stronger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Mk III is much faster (fastest ship in game) - especially boost speed - and more agile.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Mk IV is a better choice for doing cargo runs and is a better allround ship (but also much more expensive!).<\/li>\n
  • If you depend on strong shields and hull in combat, choose a Mk IV\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • If you depend on high speed and agility in combat, choose a Mk III<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If you choose a Mk IV you should consider using Gimbal weapons due to the lower maneuverability, otherwise it can be hard to hit fast moving targets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
