📋 About This Mod

At first: This is an updated version of BrummBaer´s Wolf Mk2 i made with his allowness and in agreement with him.

The ship was renamed because i always try to use existing names that are already in the game and can be spoken by Betty.

I also adjusted the prices for buying/building the ship slighty to fit a bit better into the game. All other parameters, speed, weapons, shields, hull are the same as in the original mod.

The Viper is a fast S-class heavy fighter which can be bought at the Split wharfs - you are also able to buy the blueprints and build the ship on your own.

It´s main features are its high speed and the ability to carry 2 shields, which is highy unusual for Split fighters.

Equpiment:

3 S-Engines

2 S-Shields

5 S-Weapons

Languages:

English

AI-Usage and Balancing

The ship was added to existing shipgroups so the Split will use the ship in small numbers in their fleets.

Prerequisites:

X4: Split Vendetta

Installing:

You just extract the archive into your extensions folder.

It should then look like that: ..\X4 Foundations\extensions\lc4hunter_split_viper

Compatibility:

At this point (release) the ship is just compatible with Vanilla (No VRO!)

Special Thanks:

The biggest thanks goes to BrummBaer who made the initial ship! I liked this ship so much i updated the old version for being compatible with the latest X4-version.
