Built for speed and agility, the Corsairs rely on their ability to get out of trouble as quickly as they can get into it. The Decurion fully supports this maxim while also providing significant weapon and cargo accommodations, making this a devastating offensive or defensive weapon in the hands of a skilled pilot. This ship is rare, relatively expensive and visually similar to Legionnaire light fighter; the latter fact is often used to decieve enemy recon parties.

Following Corsairs' ship line tradition, the Decurion sits on the heavy end of Light Fighters. As the Hyena is more like a weak HF, Decurion is one of the most powerful LFs Sirius has to offer. Packing the top hull strength a heavy fighter's power core, this ship stills has enough agility to outmanuver most of its main target, other snubcrafts, and to evade incoming fire power. The loadout is admirable for a light fighter, 2x class 8, 2x class 9 guns and a class 4 forwards firing turret - a quick and deadly blow - while the ship's power is strong enogh to support. While fighting enemy's fighters, Decurion can be as fast to jouist and dodge, or even get behind hammering target to avoid damage. The strong hull makes sure Decurion can survive the problem, and leaves the getaway job for the guns. If you see someone successfully pirating in a light fighter, most of the time he/she will be flying a Decurion.

Review
Slow as for a LF, huge as for a LF, easy to hit it as for LF. To be honest - one of the worst LFs ingame. Forward firing turret helps, but not as much as smaller hitbox would. Get it from top or bottom and it looks like something you can MR. Of course it has LFs acceleration and strafing, making it harder to hit, but when LFs are made for survival - this one fails in this task - it's easier to hit on chase then Centurion or most of Kusari Fighters.
