1. how many nova corps centaurians would it take to put down a no name green lantern. take experience into account, a low level GL will have more power but a centaurian would usually have more experiance.
2. Is Rider with the full nova force more powerful than say, Hal or Kyle?
is it just bad writing that rider only seems a few times more powerful than he did as a centaurian considering he now has the power of many thousands of novas?
Quite a few. A half-dozen of the best ones might manage, but you'd want more than that if they're just average, maybe twice as many.
Note that there are few experienced Centurions at the moment either, a lot fewer than there are experienced Lanterns.
Probably not, I'd say they're close.
That's always the way it's been for Nova Primes, I think his output is still limited to what his body can handle even if the entire force is so much more.
For a no name GL probe a 3-5 Centaurians. IMO they werent all that powerful (centaurians).
Sheer power output.. I don't think so. Hal and Kyle did some quite amazing things with thier ring. In a fight, I don't think he would be a push over for a top tier GL but would lose more times than not.

Re: Corps vs Corps
But you asked three questions.
Two Centurions to put down a no-name GL for the convincing majority.
Not Hal. Maybe Kyle.
He really doesn't. When he was the sole Nova Corps member with the World Mind incorporated into him, he did. But now, nah. World Mind stores most of it.
There's a performance difference between named Centurions and unnamed ones just like there is between main GLs and background ones, and a background GL still IMO has a fair bit more firepower than Richard Rider did as a Centurion.
