- Defending a tower against a mass of Archons? A few case notes from the R&D files as our contribution to the discussion - and some other applications. Art by Nozaj. // For those wondering how the "Loader" performs his duties in the Drebuchet, the simplest way of doing this is of course to use out of alliance alts and changing the POS password. But remember that you can also disallow corp and alliance member usage, thus launching everyone who doesn't have the password, even if they were previously allowed into the POS without one.
If you are using corp/alliance dreads for the Drebuchet, this is perhaps the most effective method. By making sure everyone but the dreads prepped for launch have the correct password set on their ships, you can simply deselect the "allow corporation member usage" and "allow alliance member usage". The ships with incorrect passwords set are then launched out of the POS at great speeds, which will hopefully only be the dreadnoughts set for launch.
And keep in mind the loader will never be launched himself, so this tactic will always require at least two pilots: the loader and his ammunition.
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.
They threw carriers at us...
...so we threw dreadnoughts at them!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
You guys are nuts! Skirting the line between brilliance and insanity.
Keep on innovating.
I think you guys just re-invented pos-bowling...
that titan save idea is epic.... jaw dropping stuff from RnK As always!
That is an amazingly clever use of game mechanics
Ironically enough, the Phoenix could have found a use here, being the dread with the highest mass! :D
You guys are cuckoo bananas brilliant! My jaw dropped, I laughed. o7 all round.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. You guys ARE that line.
You guys never cease to entertain and blow my mind. Please keep making Eve new for me even after several years.
As always, interesting video with great music. Rooks and Kings is always pushing the edges.
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
I don't even play EVE but Rooks and Kings, you guys never disappoint.
Quality stuff from RnK.
Much appreciated
I love it! Once again moving the tactical line! "dreadnought drive-by" heahaehahehae!
It never occurred to me to use a dreadnought AS AMMUNITUON! You guys are incredibly insane. Brilliant!
BOWLING IS BACK!
Literally the best video I've watched all day.
Love your videos and your contributions to EvE--Keep up the great work!
I... I have no words, you people are incredible.
This is so good. I loled so hard.
Lol! The fly by was just hilarious! 😂
You crazy bastards! Luv it!
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.
Time to go carrier bowling!
the drive-by at the end killed me.
Great execution from RnK. As to be expected.
Love the videos, keep them coming Sir.
EVE Game Engine at its finest.
Ho Ho Ho it's nice that you guys are still making video!
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
Spacebowl in perfection!
Strike them all with one shot. :D
o7 from Probe Patrol -well done gents!
o7 from collision
It's aliiiiiiive !
I was expecting some MJD tactics from r&k.
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!!
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!
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,
Amazing. This is what makes EVE such a fantastic game.
Can you imagine the deep safes you could create with this!?
These guys are brilliant!
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.
RnK out smarted all 70k people in the CFC and came up with a way to fight archons on POSs. Amazing.
Ingenius! Great video!
I think this is now required viewing for every CFC and RUS pilot.
Hopefully there's more to come soon.
Reverse POS Bowling? I like it.
RAAAAAAAMMING SPEEEEEED!!!
Still one of the best groups eve has ever seen wish to see more of you guys tho =(
Haha, you are indeed mad scientists.
Hey nice choice of music, Mars approves
This is why you are the kings.
Brilliant...
Brilliant evil masterplan! :D
This is brilliantly hilarious :D
Super vid guys awsome and ty!
We need new videos from you guys, please :
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeee"
Dread pilot probably.
RNK always amazing
just brilliant!!!
Propper gangster drive by shooting xD
Ingenious.
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
That is hilarious. I love it.
Wow, amazing.
This is beautiful :)
what was 1-25?
My god its beautiful
Titan Pilot: Is a Titan
Dreadnought: I'm about to relocate this mans entire ship
also haha 2020
God daaaaahm
i hope this is gonna happen in practice and not just for show
thx Rooks and Kings
We want more
drive-by shooting :D
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.
*****
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.
I love this
Reverse POS Bowling!
This is what happens when you live in a WH and you're bored out of your mind.
Brilliant
Awesome.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, is that music from ASDF I hear?
EvE bowling at it's best!!
Pissing myself, That crazy lol
dreadnought driveby...LOL
Bowling with ships. Wow.
I believe there's only two alliances in existence that have ever actually used this tactic in combat, one being RnK themselves the other being Black Legion.
So uh yeh... fun trivia fact for yah.
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 about aproached higgs rorqual in industrial mode as "bullet"?
LOL absolutely brilliant
holy shit rooks and kings are cool!
Epic.
Could you tell me the name of the first song in the background?
'Dat Titan bump.. O_O
YENIUS
Wow you guys rock! ;)
Best F'n video I have ever Seen... LMAO
i love r&K if i thought i was good anuff i would try and hope to join em lol
O_O please dreadnought drive by a titan to death.... it just has to happen.
o.m.g hilarious.
awesome, though I'm sad this is just a "canbeactivatedinsideforcefield=0" away from not existing
