Oh for sure Omens and Monitors are more useful, I was just trying to say I value Centurions and Lashers much more than 2 Kites meant to do serious damage, when in reality they'll pop instantly. Centurions I found are good in all stages of the game, nice little harassers and escorts.

If you're talking about late-game elite frigates then sure, any Kite build would be completely outmatched. What I'm talking about is a way to cheaply fill in the gaps in a fleet with something that can punch above its weight.

I agree on Centurions, they're underrated. I like to run mine with 3x light ACs, 1x swarmer missile and 1x vulcan cannon. Hardened shields, hardened subsystems, resistant flux coils and stabilized shields. Dump the rest into capacitors and then vents (capacitors > vents so it can't be bursted down). This is assuming you have the Flux Regulation skill, and I assume everyone does go for that.

Alternatively, swap out front-left light AC with ion cannon, front-right vulcan for light MG, the swarmer for breacher SRM, and stabilized shields for shield conversion - front. I've been toying around with the Centurion some more since this conversation.
The general idea is for the Centurion to be a resilient line frigate that fills in gaps and has a versatile kit for dealing with enemies.
