The Viator is an excellent secure fast transport for medium sized cargoes. It can natively accommodate a single Giant Secure container plus some extra; with cargo expanders it can bump up a couple of thousand extra m³.

Its bonuses provide good defence and durability, while the default warp stabilizer bonus gives you a much higher chance of breaking through warp scrambling interceptors. It is in fact also a fairly fast ship; although its acceleration isn't incredible when you do reach warp, its actual warp speed of 9AU/s beats almost all vessels bar only the faster interceptors. This can dramatically reduce journey times overall. It also means it is a much harder to catch up with when you are running a pipe through 0.0 security space.

This also makes the Viator a surprisingly good vessel for courier jobs, beaten only by the faster breed of interceptor than can top 14AU/s in warp. With the added defences and durability you won't be so afraid to delve into low security space for good jobs.

Combined with a basic cloak, damage repair, armour repair and some additional shielding or EW mods this can provide a slippery customer for gate camps.
