Description

The Viper DX is the next evolutionary leap for the Viper D Model. This is the premier fleet operations vessel and has revolutionary VR capabilities to aid with fleet management and coordination.

The Viper DX has a state-of-the-art foldspace drive which is capable of entering fold space within a gravity well, eliminating the need to travel to the outer marker in the source system (it still needs to drop out at the outer marker on the destination side). This ability, coupled with the increased speed of the foldspace jump itself makes the ship much faster across the cosmos than most other ships in existence. It can jump its full range of 3000 ly from planet to planet in as little as 10 days instead of 20 for normal ships.
