Having reached my goal in terms of ships, that is to have all of my favorite ships fully equipped and ready to use (Viper, Cobra, Vulture, Clipper, FdL), as happened to many expert Pilots before me, I decided to go back to the origins...
I equipped my Viper with a configuration as fun as possible for PvP and I left to adventure: 4MC, double Shield Cell, 4 fixed pips to shields, Reactive Armor, and went looking for CMDRs to deal with.
Coming from larger ships, the Viper acquires more value and, if piloted properly, it becomes an extremely effective ship!
The ridiculous maintenance costs make the pilot more daring, and the fun reaches unimaginable heights.
I faced Cobras, Asps, Vultures with surprising results: my shields always held, I used only a few SC sporadically, and I surprised, scared away or destroyed many ships. I like to imagine the CMDRs reactions, scared by the fact that a "simple" Viper has outclassed them.
Having practiced on larger and heavier ships, makes you a really effective pilot on a Viper ...
I managed to keep up with a Python for about ten minutes, and I disengaged only because he had 50 Shield Cells and I went out of ammo...
TL;DR; Don't forget where you come from!
