Revert cruiser slots changes

[Australopithecus]

.... variety of playstyles in both group fights as well as duels. ...

you mean, kite and broadside. that's the play, great.
dude, dude, wait for someone to chase you, strafe, maybe box, maybe roll a bit and let some other member of the team harass. that's your gameplay.

brother, i've seen and participated in the evolution... of some of those gameplay features.

shout out to LSF guys.

check this out (loadout compared to new one) .. they surely have the same weapon, similar speed/range. where did it go wrong.

note : osiris used to be the boxing/strafe champ. you get full zoner primaries, went backwards at some -80'ish km (later patched)

and strafe meta. it was the new weapon cerberus, new feature turret view and steer. so your good friend AI cruiser and Zoner cruiser Corvo was near unbeatable.
and you could fire at least half of these weapons in any direction.

what am saying is; you can kite in a Praefect. you can face an opponent head on in a Praefect. but why would you do the latter if the situation is disadvantegous. that's up to the player.

i argue that, these changes actually reduce the normal head on engagement situation.
