I run my Orions a bit different.. 1 Heavy Gauss and 4 er mediums seems to work the best for me.

Something akin to that

And you can optimize that a bit further. Drop the engine from a 305 to a 300 and add Light Ferro armor. Gives you 2.5 tons to add AMS and a Target Comp I

I run a quite fun, somewhat trollish brawler build.

I rarely alpha the RLs. But they give me 4 really nasty punches to be followed up with 2spcc and a ac20. If your aim is good it is super fun taking out lights with the RLs.

Only drawback is that it is a really short range brawler so you are either going to be bored for long periods just hiding in the back waiting for the sniping to end or get sniped to death trying to get close to a target. Open sniping maps are not your friend.

The Orion really likes light engines as no variant have any weapon mounts in the CT or head so dying from both CT is fine, you'd only be a walking stick when that happens and you use a STD.
