There's a new ship meta, and it's Viper MkIV

I'm not really sure what the FdL player is trying to do in that video, but at no point is he trying to fight you, nor does he appear to be running particularly effectively.

Certainly if I'm in a no-shields, zero hull scenario in my FdL with multiple attackers on my the first thing I'd do is get out of there. The FdL is not known for its hull strength, but it's fast enough that only a iCutter or iCourier are going to be able to keep up with it should it choose to turn tail.

Two Viper MkIVs (me and some guy) took out a Wanted Elite Commander in a FDL. Turret cannons and pulse lasers FTW. Good times.

Please for the love of sanity, stop making such click baity titles, the whole 'meta' concept rarely works at all anyway. So can we just stop?

The Viper MKIV is one of the most anoying enemies to fight; Even elite NPCs in one of those are considerable time sinks.
In CZs I'd rather fight against Vultures when I sit in a larger ship thats not the FDL.

That was a very opportunistic gank you got on a new FDL pilot. If he was actually experienced in that thing and had it kitted out 45% or no he would have come around on the 2 of you and wrecked your world. Gankers gonna gank!

Oh common, you dont 'gank/grief' a wanted fdl in a viper, and if you fly an fdl you should know the basics.

Viper4 is like some hideous Soviet era Fiat rip off.

Pure yuk just like the Cobra 4.

IMO!

Two Viper MkIVs engaged an Elite Fer De Lance in a Resource Extraction Site. You won't believe how it ended.

Gotta admit, every time I see turreted cannons in the c1 slots on a Viper I just

The Lada Zhiguli is actually quite the looker.

Cheaper than the Fiat, tougher and more reliable to boot [up]

Just saying
