The other night a buddy of mine and I were fooling around in passari looking for trouble. We had just dualed a pirate in frigate when I stumbled upon a flashing red dude in a belt. Being in a breacher and willing to take the 200k hit for my ship if I popped, I targeted and flew at him. After setting orbit to 15km, scrambling, and firing light missiles, I then took a look at what I was fighting.
"WTF an OSPREY?"
He didnt have a missile on the ship since all my friend and I had to do to kill him was orbit and fire away, he barely hit my breacher's shields. It seemed his setup was 1x warp scrambler, 2x 250 rail, 1x ion blaster, and a shield tank....
I may just be new to pvp... but I have never heard of someone pirating in a mining ship...

The breacher can do some good damage until it takes a hit or two and blows up. The osprey on the other hand.......hmmm...its good at mining veld...and thats about it.

Just fit nos and some jammers and sit in a belt.

A pirate Osprey is certainly do-able.. Granted, not the most effective Caldari cruiser for pirating, but it could work.. It has 2 launchers, a massive drone bay (for Caldari), and a 4/4/3 set-up.. Only drawbacks are no combat bonuses and a complete lack of PG and CPU (oh that's all?  ).. You might be able to make an interesting tanker out of it and just rely on drones and the 2 launchers to nibble things to death.. But really there would be other ship choices better suited for that..
That being said, I must say that it is highly unlikely that you could have killed an Osprey in any case.. It's a Caldari ship.. Just about every other post on these forums will clearly tell you that the Caldari are the most uber race in the game.. Read them, they must be true.. If you didn't see the missiles from the Osprey it's because you got wtfpwned too quickly to realize it by the T2 Torps it was firing at you (all Caldari ships are secretly T2 Torp Ravens that any noob can fly - it's a secret, shhhhh)...

Best part was he never launched drones, and we found a few in his drone bay. My breacher didnt have any way to repair itself, so if he had just launchered them i think he would have been fine.
I didnt htink about the barge bit... but who the heck would trust a flashing red osprey in passari with getting close to your barge?

Probably because he wasn't flashing red to begin with. That's a result of assault, not a pre-existing state.

Osprey isn't a mining ship. The bonus has been changed to Shield Rep.

Don't be correcting with incorrectness! *twitch* It is both.
20% mining laser yield
10% shield transfer cap usage
500% shield transfer range bonus

Ive used my alt in an Exequerer (gallente equivilant of osprey) as bait before. He goes to belt as if hes going to mine. I warp in behind him cloaked in my arazu. Would-be pirate warps in thinking hes going to wtfpwn a mining cruiser, only to discover that the mining cruiser is tanked, and packing scram, web, ECM, and NOS + 4 T2 medium drones. I usually give them a second to stew on that before decloaking in the arazu and hitting them with dampeners, 2 more points of scram, 3 t2 rails and 4 more t2 medium drones.

I tried something like that twice.
I took an Osprey, fitted a 1600mm plate, small rep, scrambler, dual web, rack of 150mm rails, and some medium drones.
Then I went and sat in a belt. No-one took the bait. Most interesting thing that happened was a Rifter taking a look and flying away.

I killed a celestis in an osprey. i cant remeber my exact setup but it was something like this:
His
2x Dual 150mm Railgun I
2x Assault Missile Launcher I
Mids
1x Stasis Webifier I
1x Warp Disruptor I
1x ECM Mulitspec I
1x 10MN AB I
Lo's
1x Med Armor Repper
1x 400mm Plate
1x Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane
Drones
4x Hornet 1 (was in blood raider space, so my trusty Hobgoblins would have been useless)
all T1 non-named stuff (might have been some named stuff that i pulled off previous victims), basically i didnt want to risk several million worth of t2 gear in an Osprey that had a VERY high chance of popping.
i did it for a lol, and thats what i got.

That Osprey is responsible for EVE being so screwed up!
You have capital ships built for wtfpwnage being used as haulers. Battleships used for mining.
Only makes sense for mining ships to be used for combat.

A bunch of us in ID used ospreys together once. Was quite funny.
Only thing available in system was ospreys so we bought a bunch fitted them out and killed some other pirates in system.
we got a brutix some cruisers.
It can be done just fit it right... but of course almost anything else does a better job.

Did it ever occur to you that he might have been flashing red to you due to can-flagging?

A good point... but he locked right as I was about to warp away and thats when I started orbiting. He then fired first and the rest is already stated. The can flagging is a good point tho.

Quite a while back I pirated a bit on an alt using a Caracal, but before I had the skills to use it, I bought an Osprey instead... it was more effective than you'd think.
Large shield extender + 3x heavy launcher is pretty damn good.

Dronebay: 4 lights of choice.

I totally agree. The Oprey was also my first combat cruiseer ship, and its really not bad at all... It died an honorable death to fallschirmjager bs pilots back in mid 04. Haven't flown it since though.
