OK, I have 3 mil to spend and I want to try out the Viper for my combat ops. Any recommendations on an effective Viper loadout?
thx in advance.

Find a good industrial system that sells upgrade modules. You need A-class or B-class stuff. FSD, power generator, and power distributor, shields, etc.
For weapons, I am currently doing alot of Anaconda bounty-hunting missions and I like the gimbaled multicannons for those: 2x size 1 and 2x size 2 gimbaled multicannons.
Edit to add:
As the post below says, power balancing is important, a B-class or A-class shield usually draws too much power.
Also another reason I like the MultiCannons is they draw very little power.

If you run all A's module loadout you will run into power issues. I keep my sensors and life-support at D rating and that helps with power and size. Definitely don't need A shields, B at the most. Then you will have power for pretty much any weapon loadout.
Just get full A grade eagle. Awesome fun!
Don't listen to everyone talking about Power Issues, that is easily solved by setting up different power priorities. I for example have my FSD, Cargo Hatch, and Frame shift interdictor all set on priority 3 and my guns all on priority 2 and my other primary systems on priority 1.
Despite being 12% over power usage I still can run just fine. Its not like you need your frame shift interdictor or drive, or cargo hatch while you're fighting.

i run a full A-rated viper, with 2 class 1 beams and 2xMC's class 2, KWS,FSD interception, Discovery scanner,Chaff.....the trick is setting your priorities in the module section properly, simplest way to set it is anything you want for combat goes on 1 or 2, everything else goes 3+ i.e shields, life support,thrusters on 1, weapons (incl KWS) on 2, chaff on 2, things like the FSD,FSD interceptor,discovery scanner hell even the cargo hatch all go on 3+
best thing you get can for a viper is A-rated power plant, thrusters and power regulatator (think thats the name) their the top 3 most important to get
