Govedo: You've never flown against a good Ossie pilot I take it?

Wrong- it is just wrong to let the Osiris kite you if you are in heavy vessel. Get close to it and eat it alive- this is 100% working anti- Osiris tactic. If people cannot use it then they fight Osiris wrong with heavier ships- Outcast Dread- with something with cd- Dead Osiris- you fly close to it and crush it, if you stay in 2-3 k range you will eat motars till you die. I have killed tons of battleships only with single Motar and 2 missiles on kitting Osiris. I am not saying in any way that 4.85 Osiris was not OP too. It was OP for sure.
This was in 4.85 Now even a battle-cruiser can kill Osiris..

Osiris as a light battleship will NOT get 3 heavy turrets. You seem to be missing the whole point of the turret split, it's to make focused setups impossible. You're basically proposing to switch the ossies back to solarizers.

Osiris with its hull core and weapons cannot be something other in order to be effective- it had and still have no chance against any other BS at 500 m distance. It could be used for long range bombardment platform or for Anti snub platform. Pick one, and please do define what is support battleship- battleship that supports what? Blue msgs for the other team? Battleship with good anti-snub capabilities? Battleship with good anti-cap capabilities? Because 4.86 Osiris is not one of both.
While proposing 3 heavy slots I mean cutting its primaries- I do know that ship with 3 heavy slots is not light battleship for sure but if you want it as anti-cap support platform- remove it primaries and give it 3 heavy slots, if you want it as anti snub platform , remove it primaries and add more light slots while giving back the -50 reverse thrust.
If you want to make Osiris Makowise then give it one heavy slot more and much more hull. And fix it crappy arcs. If you want to make it support battleship pick one- supporting against snubs or against caps and do it that way. Now it is supporting the others blue msgs, while it big brother Liberty Dread is mega OP.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
