Do it! and give it to xi xang (they need SOMETHING) -- though everywhere will do as well.

Let's get some effective one-gun ships out there!

This is not intended to be faction-specific. Of course, some XX stations are likely to carry these.

Totally [Approved].

why the hell would anyone bother getting a superlight then?

" All non-faction Centurions suck."
I'll take you up on that... the MkIII flies pretty well.

Why would anyone bother getting a superlight if a one-gun version of the IBG exists? By that logic, why the hell would anyone bother getting a superlight if the IBG exists... and that logic is faulty for obvious reasons.

I'm just saying having this ship in nearly every station for a fraction of the cost of a superlight will make that ship obsolete.

I don't know why people fly superlights. Its really foolish if you ask me.

The Centurion Mk. III sucks when compared to the Vulture Mk. III. It weighs more, has less thrust and armor and only has one gun port. Its only advantages are size and cargo space, and the fact that you can get it at combat 2. The Vulture Mk. III is often used for PVP. The Centurion Mk. III is not.

From what I've observed, people don't use Superlights in situations where there's a significant chance of losing them - notably PVP. The only reason to get them right now is novelty - aside from the original mission tree, building them is simply too much work for the ship you get. The Superlight is good - I'd fly them all the time if I could buy one for 100k.

maybe the answer is to tweak the superlight but 100k for an SL is way to cheap it would have to be upwards of 2-300k atleast

No, 100k is good.
