*Since the Osprey's cargohold is relatively small, you will most likely have to do Jetcan mining. The Small Tractor Beam allows you to drag your jetcan around while you mine.
*Unless you are extremely unfortunate, you are unlikely to be a target of suicide gank. Therefore you are more likely to worry about those annoying and pesky belt rats. Large Shield Extender I provides a buffer to your shield and the Civilian Shield Booster I gives you a small shield repair when your shield is damaged by belt rats. And no, unless you have Electronics V you will be unable to fit a Small Shield Booster.
*Hobgoblins to take care of belt rats. You can have a mixture of Mining Drones and Combat Drones if you wish, just remember to recall your mining drones when belt rats comes or you might find your mining drones under attack.
The Osprey originally offered excellent versatility and power for what was considered a comparably low price. After its redesign, its inbuilt mining technology - now a little creaky and long in the tooth - was gutted from the Osprey and replaced in its entirety with tech of a different type, capable of high energy and shield transfers.

Summary
The Osprey is a T1 logistics ship, with bonuses to shield transfers and energy transfers. The Osprey is not designed to be cap stable on its own, but instead to trade capacitor with other Ospreys. Because of the 200% bonus to energy transfer amount, Ospreys trading energy transfers to each other effectively creates a large amount of capacitor out of nothing. This allows Ospreys to be cap stable with lower skills than its sister ship the Scythe, and makes it resistant to energy neuts. On the down side this makes it more vulnerable to jams, because a jammed osprey not only can't rep but also can't give capacitor, reducing its partners' ability to rep.
