PvP What is the meta Viper Mk3 build?

I’m working on a Viper Mk3, for an evasive flying+PA trainer. What is the meta build, to get the most out of a Viper Mk3?
 
I would suggest a cobra 3 instead because it's capable of running cooler which translates to hitting harder.

But here's a viper build if you're that determined to use it.
 

The Replicated Man

Bi weave hulltank with 2 small Rails and 2 medium Plasmas.

570ish boost and hits fairly hard for what it is.

Don't expect to be taking out anything larger than a vulture in it though (Against Good PvP pilots)
 
Since you mentioned using it as an evasive flying + PA trainer...I have a fast/light Viper build I use for this purpose and just messing around that uses a biweave shield, undersized HRPs to keep weight down, and matched velocity small overcharged cannons + G1 focused plasma that ends up mimicking an all-plasma FDL. Boosts up to 650 and just one targeting reticle to worry about. Fun ship.

I have been using the rail/PA build, I hadn't even considered OC cannons having the same profile as focused plasma. I'm going to have to check that out. Thanks Bob.
 
2xc1 gimbal RF phasing pulses +2xc2 fixed LR cannons(dispersal+force shell) attack only meta lances, they will run after like 20+minutes of combat. I tried this:) As suggested earlier bi-weave with maybe 1 res booster.
