This is the workhorse of the mercenary community. The ''Centurion'' is a heavy fighter with the ability to do almost any gun-for-hire work. The limited cargo hold can contain more than an overnight bag but not by much. This is a ship for those pilots who love to fly, but it won't make you a living on the trade circuit.

<big>'''Cockpit.'''</big> High visibility. The dome cockpit of this single-seater affords the pilot a clear view of his target. Ride is comfortable at high speeds and in tight turns. It has one MFD, along with standard armor and radar displays (see illustration). Instrument placement is intuitive and easy to read; overall design is highly ergonomic.
== Specifications ==


<big>'''Speed/Maneuverability.'''</big> I've been very impressed with the roll rate of the ''Centurion'', although light fighters such as the ''[[Talon]]'' easily outmaneuver it. For a fighter of its class, this ship offers clean tight flight dynamics. Supports engine upgrades through Level 3.

<big>'''Ordnance/Protection.'''</big> A rear turret is a popular option for this ship. It supports up to Level 3 shield upgrades. There are slots for four guns and two weapons or tractor beams, even without a turret.
== Wing Commander Privateer Player's Guide ==


'''''Stiletto'''''


<big>'''Overall Performance Rating.'''</big> For the mercenary community this ship earns an A while those with more mercantile ambitions find its small cargo hold, and inability to support a cargo hold expansion a definite turn off. Consider your needs before investing.
The ''Stiletto'' is the fastest ship in the Confederation fleet. With an afterburner velocity of 1400 kps and excellent maneuverability, it can evade even the swiftest Kilrathi fighters. The ''Stiletto'''s weakness lies in its extremely flimsy armor and relatively light weapons loadout. If you encounter an experienced pilot in a ''Stiletto'', however, you should prepare for grueling combat because his high maneuverability lets him get uncomfortably close.

If you sell your ''[[Orion]]'' you will have enough credits to buy a fully-equipped ''Centurion.'' If you are flying a ''[[Galaxy]]'', you will need an extra 100,000 credits to make your purchase. The ''Centurion'' is an extremely fast and maneuverable fighter. If you're a good pilot, you can probably survive with [[Level 2 shields]]. but you should eventually upgrade to [[Level 3 shields|Level 3]].

The Stiletto was designed for Wing Commander Privateer but it was first seen in Origin FX.


* The ''Centurion'' is ideal for any type of combat mission. Accept lucrative patrol, bounty hunting and attack missions. If you destroy pirate ships, you can retrieve their cargo and sell it. Keep in mind, though, that this ship does not have a big cargo hold.
The Stiletto was originally to be named Dagger.


A unique piece of debris was created for the Stiletto but it was not included in the final release of Wing Commander Privateer.


HCl has created [[Stiletto Patch]], a fan patch that allows players to fly the Stiletto in Privateer.


* The ''Centurion'' is the only ship suited for the [[Fariss Quadrant]]. If you select [[New Caledonia]] as your home base, you can profit from the lucrative trade run between New Caledonia (refinery) and Prasepe (mining). Even though you will encounter pirates along the way, this ship is able to deal with their small, lightly armed fighters.
