Centurion Mk. III

Dec 29, 2004 roguelazer link
It's one of the only light ships with infiniturbo. It's one of the only ships with infiniturbo over 200m/s. It doesn't compare at all to the IBG Centurion or any other vessel. This is a bug, ayuh.

definitely. Not only does it infiniturbo, but it also has a lot of cargo space, making it the ideal ship to use for CtC because it can carry all or nearly all of the transport's cargo and still be able to run at full speed.

Its also one of the only ships with a single s port and has joke for armor. They finally denerf it and everyone is crying about it. Its meant to be a highly manueverable interceptor, and as such, fulfills its role correctly, just because there is finally a ship faster than (insert ship of choice here) doesnt mean it needs nerfing. If you nerf the centurion I would have to call for nerfing the armor on all the other light fighters too and taking thier extra gun ports away, that way it stays fair. If anything needs to be done its the reduction of some of the turbo drains on some of the fighters, as they are just too high.

"If anything needs to be done its the reduction of some of the turbo drains on some of the fighters, as they are just too high."

i agree; this is a major problem at the moment. however there is one thing i agree on. 8 units is too much for a light fighter with that speed. if anything light fighters should be able to carry a max of 4 units. an ''increased hold'' varient of a light fighter should only carry 4 units while not having insaine speed, while the other varients only have 2, or 3 (3 being a lesser speed than 2) have that have speed.

now as for the vulture before people start screaming.. i'd classify the vulture as a medium fighter, rather than a light fighter. i'd say 8 units max for a cargo varient and 4 for other varients.

tramshed, an interceptor trades speed for endurance. and its not being used as an interceptor, its being used as a getaway ship for the CtC cargo.

I use a centurion for intercepting, and flying in, INTERCEPTING the transport, blowing it, and flying away seems exactly like what an interceptor would do. As for the cargo, thats an idea, the centurion really shouldnt be able to hold 8 for its size, knock that down to 1 or 2 and i bet you see a dramatic dropoff on transport hit n runs from centurions. It would just be replaced with (next fastest ship with decent cargo)

As mentioned, I have always loved the Cent III. I totally support dropping the cargo capacity and leaving it otherwise alone.
