Now that's a brilliant tactic Offense is the best defense after all XD That would mean that attacking POS would become a LOT harder in the future since your capital fleet attacking the place would literally fall apart if a "drebuchet" were to be used against them, allowing to easily pick them off. Sure, they could warp together again in theory, but what nullsec corp would actually give them the opportunity to do so
EVE Online - where complex mathematics, meticulous planning and a great deal of luck go into the delicate art of using a two-kilometre spaceship as a bowling ball.
My Dreadnought flew around 1200km when Bastion cycle ended. But my Archon (not in triage) flew only around 500km. Does that mean (i've not tested that), that if a Dreadnought hits a triage carrier in a cycle, the triage carrier flies a bit more than 500km, because of the triage mode?
what is the name of the middle eastern themed music at 5:00 ? also could you guys start adding the music used into the credits of your videos... or actually have credits at all? plz n thank u.
one time I remember the story about a bunch of frigates getting trebuchet by a Titan there's a funny image I also remember the accidental trebuchet of a Titan
It is a shame even the rooks and kings can't find a way to beat the self archons, other then by using a somewhat cheaty game mechanic. I pray I get to observe this tactic used in battle.
***** Starbursting is not new. We've done it to our own pilots for not paying attention just for lolz. I COULD see them labeling the part where you use the enemy pos as an exploit, but if you HAVE the password it isn't any kind of exploit. Bumping things out of a POS is only an exploit if you do it FROM outside the POS. In this case, you have the password. Cant see what would be against the rules.
AFAIK if you're stopped you fly directly away from the control tower. Place yourself toward your target and on the same side as them and sound the alarm to the crew to brace for impact. Though most of them will be jelly by the time you stop regardless.
Nah, thats POS bowling, something different. This is aiming and launching siege dreads out of a pos like a catapault. You need legit access to the pos to do this.
So is this tactic still usable in-game? It didn't get patched out or anything? If so, that's awesome and hilarious--it even makes me wonder why it wasn't used extensively in the massive battle for B-R--a turtling ball of doom is a perfect target to scatter with a drebuchet.
They threw carriers at us...
...so we threw dreadnoughts at them!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
So did I just have a beautiful voiced British dude explain to me the various uses of Dreadnaughts AS ammunition?
I think I found my secret wet dream.
Jimmy De'Souza I believe Lord Maldoror is Finnish
"Dreadnaughts AS ammunition"
This is the greatest thing I've seen all day
I am curious to know from which countries RnD pilotes live. I know there are many French guys but I don't know for the rest.
I think you guys just re-invented pos-bowling...
You guys are nuts! Skirting the line between brilliance and insanity.
Keep on innovating.
Rooks and Kings once again showing us they are the leaders of inventing fleet tactics.
That is an amazingly clever use of game mechanics
that titan save idea is epic.... jaw dropping stuff from RnK As always!
You guys never cease to entertain and blow my mind. Please keep making Eve new for me even after several years.
It never occurred to me to use a dreadnought AS AMMUNITUON! You guys are incredibly insane. Brilliant!
Quality stuff from RnK.
Much appreciated
Ironically enough, the Phoenix could have found a use here, being the dread with the highest mass! :D
Pos bowling maneuvers taken to the next level. Love it.
"is dying with laughter" god you guys are mad.
The worst thing is, i can see you guys doing this >:D
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. You guys ARE that line.
Love your videos and your contributions to EvE--Keep up the great work!
You guys are cuckoo bananas brilliant! My jaw dropped, I laughed. o7 all round.
EVE Game Engine at its finest.
As always, interesting video with great music. Rooks and Kings is always pushing the edges.
I don't even play EVE but Rooks and Kings, you guys never disappoint.
This is so good. I loled so hard.
Time to go carrier bowling!
I dont know how you guys come up with this stuff, but i'm just really curious as to where the other 25 tactics are. This is great stuff!!
Ladies and gentlemen, I think I just found people who managed to beat EVE: Online. Using dreads as bullets. And I thought pipebombing was crazy.
this is the same people who developed pipebombing.
Literally the best video I've watched all day.
I... I have no words, you people are incredible.
BOWLING IS BACK!
Haha, awesome video.
I notice this says RnD Tactics and Weaponry #26...does that mean there's 25 more of these somewhere?
I would like to see the other 25 aswell!
Lol! The fly by was just hilarious! 😂
I love it! Once again moving the tactical line! "dreadnought drive-by" heahaehahehae!
You crazy bastards! Luv it!
RnK out smarted all 70k people in the CFC and came up with a way to fight archons on POSs. Amazing.
Great execution from RnK. As to be expected.
Spacebowl in perfection!
Strike them all with one shot. :D
Amazing. This is what makes EVE such a fantastic game.
Love the videos, keep them coming Sir.
Now that's a brilliant tactic
Offense is the best defense after all XD

what was 1-25?
the drive-by at the end killed me.
Ho Ho Ho it's nice that you guys are still making video!
RAAAAAAAMMING SPEEEEEED!!!
o7 from Probe Patrol -well done gents!
o7 from collision
It's aliiiiiiive !
I was expecting some MJD tactics from r&k.
EVE Online - where complex mathematics, meticulous planning and a great deal of luck go into the delicate art of using a two-kilometre spaceship as a bowling ball.
Ingenius! Great video!
Haha, you are indeed mad scientists.
what about aproached higgs rorqual in industrial mode as "bullet"?
We've a Titan entering the interceptor race track! :P
This is Awesome. =D Nothing like seeing a titan going over twenty thousand M/S,
We want more
Still one of the best groups eve has ever seen wish to see more of you guys tho =(
My Dreadnought flew around 1200km when Bastion cycle ended.
But my Archon (not in triage) flew only around 500km.
Does that mean (i've not tested that), that if a Dreadnought hits a triage carrier in a cycle, the triage carrier flies a bit more than 500km, because of the triage mode?
Hopefully there's more to come soon.
dreadnought driveby...LOL
Reverse POS Bowling? I like it.
I Wonder if a Titan can be used as a Drebuchet, though... ;-)
Can you imagine the deep safes you could create with this!?
This is why you are the kings.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, is that music from ASDF I hear?
Where do I put my app in for insane dread drivebys?
Could you tell me the name of the first song in the background?
These guys are brilliant!
This is what happens when you live in a WH and you're bored out of your mind.
Reverse pos bowling?
When can we expect a new Full Length Feature?
Hey nice choice of music, Mars approves
awesome, though I'm sad this is just a "canbeactivatedinsideforcefield=0" away from not existing
I think this is now required viewing for every CFC and RUS pilot.
what is the name of the middle eastern themed music at 5:00 ?
also could you guys start adding the music used into the credits of your videos... or actually have credits at all?
plz n thank u.
***** Arcana is the group. They use it in every video. Its neo-classical and they have spiked their views more than likely.
you wouldn't happen to know which track or album that specific song is from would you?
in any case thanks for the info and helping me get close.
Super vid guys awsome and ty!
drive-by shooting :D
Titan Pilot: Is a Titan
Dreadnought: I'm about to relocate this mans entire ship
also haha 2020
Reverse POS Bowling!
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeee"
Dread pilot probably.
Propper gangster drive by shooting xD
When is the next annual cap bowl'o'rama? :P
We need new videos from you guys, please :
one time I remember the story about a bunch of frigates getting trebuchet by a Titan there's a funny image I also remember the accidental trebuchet of a Titan
PLEASE SHARE THE OTHER 25 TACTICS PLEASE!!!
It is a shame even the rooks and kings can't find a way to beat the self archons, other then by using a somewhat cheaty game mechanic. I pray I get to observe this tactic used in battle.
Bull pucky using the assist is a similar mechanic. They had the creativity to put something to work to counter archon blobs.
This is in no way cheating... It's using the game mechanics in a creative way. Just because most people wouldn't think of it doesn't make it cheating.

Brilliant evil masterplan! :D
i hope this is gonna happen in practice and not just for show
thx Rooks and Kings
How do you control the direction?
AFAIK if you're stopped you fly directly away from the control tower. Place yourself toward your target and on the same side as them and sound the alarm to the crew to brace for impact. Though most of them will be jelly by the time you stop regardless.
Interesting. Thanks!
Wait, this still works?
Bowling with ships. Wow.
RNK always amazing
'Dat Titan bump.. O_O
Didnt BoB use to do this with titans? didnt that get called an 'exception' and become a bannable offense?
Nah, thats POS bowling, something different. This is aiming and launching siege dreads out of a pos like a catapault. You need legit access to the pos to do this.
baaaddragon so this is reverse pos bowling?
just brilliant!!!
God daaaaahm
This is beautiful :)
EvE bowling at it's best!!
My god its beautiful
That is hilarious. I love it.
Wow, amazing.
So is this tactic still usable in-game? It didn't get patched out or anything? If so, that's awesome and hilarious--it even makes me wonder why it wasn't used extensively in the massive battle for B-R--a turtling ball of doom is a perfect target to scatter with a drebuchet.
it requires a pos force field. the battle for B-R was fought on the station no pos was in range.
Also B-R reached maximum time dilation and it would've taken a lot of setup time.
Pissing myself, That crazy lol
holy shit rooks and kings are cool!
Ingenious.
O_O please dreadnought drive by a titan to death.... it just has to happen.
