Viper's dominance in Lambave. FAOFF

So I decided to head out to the Devil's playground, to test my Viper and see if is still a viable choice. This system is currently hosting a explorer's CG and has a 15% discount in outfitting perfect for anyone looking to have some fun 1vs1. That being said, is there any other system which has a lot players activity? Please comment below and let me know what other system could I try next. I'm in Japan's timezone BTW.

Nice flying though I really wish gimballed weapons were finally removed from the game...

Thank you, but if they do remove Gimballed is going to be impossible to hit your target with Flight assist off. That will force me to go back to assist on, which in my opinion is way to easy to fly.

I set the assist button to "hold" and use it to do quick turns. When you let off the stabilisation systems take over and let you change direction really fast.

Not impossible, just more demanding ;) Same conditions for everyone, that's what I'd love.

Nice video. I was surprised at how well the multicannons did vs shields. Tore up that python very quickly.

Trying to get less diversity with weapon loadouts is not a good idea. Gimballed weapons are countered fine by chaff and the damage penalty. Stop whining.

MC ? you like big ammo bills and docking a lot for replens I guess. By the time you found anyone who was worth bounty hunting so you could actually make a profit from shooting them, I'm sure they would tear you a new one while you mess about with cannons. But yeah the viper is still a very valid ship. A wing of vipers very dangerous.

Multi-cannons are devastating vs shields when you have enough of them.

Example of mulit-cannon efficiency.

Multi-cannon spam is for the people who can't handle changing wep and sys capacitors around lol, get some practice in! (though I do love the sound of 6 multis on the asp)

Good video I don't think people realize how devastating those Multi-cannons can be. Sure, lasers are better against shields but you have to commit more pips to weapons.

I will drag my FDL out tonight and put on a real show. 4 medium multi-cannons and one huge cannon!

I run two fixed burst lasers on my Vulture, makes a mess for sure. But it feels a lot slower to kill things. It's probably not, just feels it.
