Simple Royal upgrade that served for a short while:

I figure that perhaps the Viper survived the Star League and the Succession Wars. If so, and if it served in large enough numbers, or perhaps being put back into production, it would get an upgraded version in 3040s.
The Viper's role would be heavy ECM-support platform. Endo-steel is used to free weight for upgrades, with the ECM suite itself being placed to right torso. SRM-6s are replaced with 2 Streak-2s in each arm, their ammo moved to left torso and CASEd. The small lasers got upgraded to small pulse lasers.
My intent here was to emulate the haphazard TRO3050 "upgrades". Figure i accomplished that reasonably, striking balance between OK and "uh ok".
