Additional Information

Background

The unparalleled Colonial fighter.

Unlike it's first (cylon) war predecessors, the cockpit controls of the Mark VII are almost entirely computerized, which resulted in their complete neutralization via the Command Navigation Program during the Fall.

Gameplay

The Viper Mark VII was introduced to the game Battlestar Galactica Deadlock through the final DLC (Downloadable content) titled "Modern Ship Pack." This expansion adds six ships to the game that are featured heavily in the 2004 "reimagined" television series. As such, the Viper Mark VII is only accessible through skirmish, multiplayer and Operation Anabasis. The Viper Mark VII is not accessible in the campaign mode.

Game Abilities & Statistics

General Statistics

• Squadron size: 10 Craft
• Hull points: 60 (6 Hull per craft)
• Speed: 380 m/s
• Damage output: 0.45
• Weapon range: 2500m
• DRADIS range: 2000m

Special Abilities

Squad repair - All squadrons can be ordered to return to their parent ship and undergo repairs during battle, this can even replace lost craft in the squadron and can be done regardless of how much damage and losses the squadron has taken so long as it is still intact.

Missile interception - Viper Mk VII's can attempt to intercept incoming ordnance by giving orders to defend the target of incoming ordnance. The earlier the order is given the better, as it will take time for Viper Mk VII's to reach the target ordnance and dispose of it.
