Eve: Oswaffle Doctrine

This is a doctrine with a story. In our Alliance we're fortunate enough to have a player called Carneros who is one of the most pleasant and gentle people you could ever hope to meet. Especially in Eve. He's the nearest thing our Alliance has to Mother Teresa.

Naturally he flies logistics ships and when he reported for duty a few nights ago he duly asked for an Osprey to fly in a Tech 1 cruiser fleet. Naturally he assumed that the drones inside would be repping drones.

I mean, who would put damage drones in a logistics ship?

This guy would:

Here you can see that our FC for the night, in addition to being shot by -A-'s Ruptures was also ferociously assaulted by his own healers. In fact Carneros was third highest damage, just behind Makalu (yes, he's that Makalu, if only it had been him killed by the Osprey!).

Carneros was quite cross about the sneaky insertion of damage drones into his healing drone bay but had to finally cease berating the person who fit the ships that way because none of us could stop laughing.

So here's a doctrine inspired by this incident. It's a fleet entirely of Ospreys that slave their drones to the FC, web or scram a nearby enemy then focus on healing everybody. Effective hp is 26,675.
