I'm a Bounty Hunter, What is Better Viper or Cobra Mk.III ?

[SapphicFlame]

So, I've spent a while in a Cobra, I'm thinking of reverting back to my Viper...

[ResplendentGoop]

Honestly as long as you're not trying to use a Type 6 or something for bounty hunting whatever you prefer to pilot is best.

for combat, hands down viper. for multi-purpose, cobra.

[Athenas]

Viper.

[Vinsildin]

Corvette.

[The Mobian]

Viper

[Mu77ley]

Vulture. ;)

Seriously though, the Viper is a pure combat ship and has superior hardpoint placement to the Cobra. Cobra is more of a multirole ship.

It's the truth. If you can afford it, the vulture is superior to both in a purely combat role. If you can't afford it, it's worth saving up a few credits for. It also makes a better trade vessel than a sidewinder. Then again, a wheel-barrow makes a better trade vessel than a sidewinder.

christ...viper best bet

you need to save around 7-8 million CR to get the Vulture... its useless without upgrades...and i know this because i had one... got rid of it as soon as i got enough money for my clipper.

Viper more agile, Cobra has more armor and less assailable in head-to-head fighting (more slim, flat), else you can add 240 (2x120) extra armor there into class 4 slots (plus to actual 120 points), maneuverability just slightly less (Vulture is the champion, though).

Earlier in my career, I found the Cobra to be a drastic upgrade from my Viper, in combat capabilities. But frankly, the Vulture makes them both look pretty feeble.

Cobra has better armor, and the Viper's drive systems are stupidly vulnerable. I swear they're so vulnerable I think they take damage from near MISSES. Also, the Cobra has crazy FSD capacity. So you can make the long journeys between Community Goal systems in much fewer jumps.

Viper.

Viper, if only you understand that a Vulture outclasses it by far.

Money can be an issue with the Vulture though; my Vulture was worth 22 million before I sold it for my Python and it was more or less an A Class Vulture.

[<Quique>]

Cobra is much better, starting off the viper was good but if you want to load cargo without as much of a sacrifice or add modules upgrade to the cobra. Later on though if you want to become a serious bounty hunter save your money for a vulture... serious manuverability and high durability with a FSD wake detector theyre not getting away

+ Viper has same weapon slots as Cobra (2 small, 2 medium), but less max power (about 12,4 MW, Class 3 PowerPlant) it demands longer cooldown time for thermal guns, unlike to 15,6 MWatts compared with Cobra (Class 4 Power Plant, and the shield generator same class 4).
