Corsair Osiris Refit

[McNeo]

Good idea. About the 15 guns though, that is really excessive for a battleship the size of the Osiris.

It should be slightly larger due to the addition of armour and other scary things, but without a large reduction in its capability to play its role as a long range offensive weapon. I shudder at the thought of taking a Legate through Omega 5, let alone either of the clouds in Omicron Gamma.

I reckon that it would be one of the heavier of the Light Battleship class, slightly smaller than the Bretonian battleship, with 14 gun slots and similar firing arcs of the original Osiris, but the Light BS powerplant (as opposed to the Medium BS powerplant that the Bret BS has). On the other hand, it could have 12 gun slots and the Medium BS powerplant instead. Im not really bothered which it is, as long as the slots have similar firing arcs to the original Osiris.

-It should be highly maneuverable and reasonably small, allowing for fast offensive and defensive actions.
-It should not be expected to hold the line against heavier battleships such as the Outcast Dreadnought.

Essentially, it should be able to do everything that the Osiris can do now, except with a little added punch in exchange for a little bit of maneuverability and size.

I can't imagine what a Liberty/Corsair hybrid that has been tweaked by the Order would look like though. It should still retain immediately recognisable features of the Osiris though, to represent the Corsairs taking the designs and adding things to it.

To be honest, it would just be easier for everyone (especially at this late stage) if the Osiris were allowed without question. Its not been a problem for very long, and both sides usually keep to themselves anyway. This whole issue has only become a problem recently anyway. This is just a complex solution to a small problem.
