After getting my Lakon type-6, I racked up cash quite quickly, so I blew 1.5M CR on my "Weekend ride" a Viper with some personal touches..
All the internals are class A except the thrusters - need another 550K to upgrade them and I have my eye on some 500K gimballed D2 beam lasers, but she's a beast in combat. I was interdicted on Sunday by a Anaconda (Dangerous) and took it down on my own. Got down to 34% hull, but the 63K bounty was worth the effort. I think I have the bullet cost/bounty ratio about right.
Frame shift driver interdictor, Frame shift wake scanner, Warrant scanner, 2 x E1 gimballed beam lasers and 2 x F2 Multi-cannons.
Class A power generator, power distributor and Frame Shift Drive give me 13.44Lyr range - this'll go up a little when I get the A thrusters as they're lighter.

Obviously I still have the Lakon Type-6 and swap back for trading. Home base is LHS 3295.
Very Red White and Blue. I wouldn't interdict you in that thing, my Cobra would be toast! If they don't wipe the game next week I say you keep that and grind up again for your Asp or whatever!
Nice work!
I hope they don't wipe the game as I'm gonna grind a little for my cobra now...
EDIT: So a Viper is better than a Cobra for pew pew?
Cobra is a bit of an all-rounder. Viper is supposed to be a more 'pure' combat craft. I still think I prefer the way the Cobra feels, but that's just me.
Viper is like a bullet. Takes time to tame the beast as its so fast. Like 1 second from station entrance to obliteration on the back wall if you boost in error lol done it several times! Cobra is the Jaguar of the fleet, big and comfy with enough grunt and firepower when aggravated.
The Cobra is a Jaguar with Gatling-guns. The Viper is a Mini Cooper with the same Gatling-guns and nitrous!
Cobra is tough and heavy while the Viper is agile and can run from trouble
A class A beam turret and a pair of multi cannons and I believe I could have you!
