The Viper is a well armed Warship which can be built by any faction at their respective Shipyard. It is enormously effective against submarines and has two 40t cargo slots. It is the fastest ship available to the Tycoon Faction, only being outrun by the Hovercraft and Raider.
To build the Viper Warship, players require :
- Eco Engineers (Level 3 Eco Residents) or
- Tycoon Engineers (Level 3 Tycoon Residents) or
- Tech Lab Assistants (Level 1 Tech Residents)
The Viper has a special bonus: the AX-C 5 Battle Drone. Once you activate that drone, it automatically attacks any enemies in the area every 5 seconds with -/25/- attack power for 10:00 minutes. After activation, it has a cooldown period of 12:00 minutes.
