Ships Viper mk3 bounty hunter build

Hello I'm new to the game and I just bought a viper mk3 and am trying to outfit it for bounty hunting. I goggled a bunch of builds but there a 1 of 2 old. I'm not sure if there still viable or maybe been nerfed from updates . Can some one post a build they use?

Great ship choice as it's small and fast it's not an easy target, are you intending to engineer it? if so that can make a substantial increase in performance but I've put a build together using stock parts.

I fit pulse turrets in the topside hardpoints and let them work on the shields allowing you to evade incoming fire then line up the medium weapons (gimballed pulse or MC) and break off and repeat, the Viper isn't that agile but it's got great thrusters and fantastic acceleration the important thing is to keep moving.

The build has a Bi-Weave shield but can fit a 3A if you power down the cargo hatch

Prefer with two gimballed small pulses and medium multicannons, and double chaff. Less shields but the booster is rather power inefficient anyway.

Hmm, interesting comment. I'm thinking of engineering a Viper MK III as a project before the next patch. When you say it isn't agile, do you mean it flies more like an FDL? Or more like a Dropship?

Flies similar to FDL, without the drift. It doesn't turn as quick as some of the other small ships, but it has great lateral thrusters, so hence it handles a bit differently.

from my perspective the Viper MK III is very manouverable. Not like a Vulture or an Eagle but enough to win a PvE against them.

I would suggest this configuration as it works excellent for me.

I don't think a shield booster make sense for a 3C Bi-Wave shield generator, as the base strength is that low.
Chaff launchers are more effective for my flight style as they prevent me from getting hit by turrets and gimbald weapons.
