@delboi1978 They are using the carrier to refit to normal guns after smartbombing, so that if another fleet attacks them, they are combat ready and not stuck in faction smartbombing ships. Little details like that make a fleet awesome.
This is how I found out about Rooks & Kings, during an AU class roam. FC hears there's a pointed sabre, our thrasher fleet warps in, surprise cyno! I couldn't even load grid before I woke up in station (R&K "motivated" me to build a balls-to-the-walls system just for Eve). Thumbs up gentlemen, everyone in fleet had a good laugh, and FC was kicking himself for not checking the alliance ticker on the sabre ; )
That was amazing!!!!! One of the best roams we have been on :). Was good to see it from your point of view too Extreamly well worked and grats on the kills lol
i dont know anything about eve and i've just been randomly watching different eve vids trying to grasp whats going on and it was awesome to notice the drudkh song.
I love the tone of the callouts as soon as RnK arrives on field. Irritated "kill the fucking cyno" followed by a panicked "It's Rooks and Kings, it's Rooks and Kings, oh gods"
@delboi1978 For the pipebombing they fit to do all damage types, honestly though you never see a R&K Fleet without triage on stand by or already there. plus when your in the middle of 20 smartbombing battleships it doesnt matter what your resistance is its going to hurt.
@jsh1103 well it depends. if you pick one resistance type and buff specifically say em for instance. you can get aprox 1.3-1.4m ehp against em damage (t2 fit + overload)so you would survive for a considerable time baring in mind ur looking at 20bs's doing 48k volley at best, most likely a lot less, you can sustain damage for over 4 minutes. Doing all damage is a different matter ofc. its fun for the enemy tears alone :)
The purple guys have about 20 ships max. They intercept over 200 of the other ships, then use things called smartbombs. which make an explosion around your ship. to kill all 200+ of the ships in 30 seconds
Because smartbombs aren't the most damaging things. As you can see almost all of the other fleet has ships a lot smaller than RnK's Battleships, and the warp intercept tactic they used can only be used in the lowest security space, where most people fly battleships. This tactic is good, but only if you can find a frigate fleet to use it on
actualy if you look at the end of the vid they pipe bomb a t3 fleet and that one of the most resilient fleet comp out and in the false tower vid they bomb a hurricane fleet so your frigate only comment is wrong
pretty fail that they needed remote reps on their smarty bs's. Are they that scared of losing something?? if they fitted them right they should be +95% imune to their own damage anyway.

"It's Rooks and Kings! It's ROOKS and KINGS!!!...oh god....
LOL.
Still like to watch this 10 years later 😅 Greetings to RnK, Mangala and to everyone who was there 😁
I just love how calm Mangala stays all the time.
I came, I saw, I woke up somewhere else. Awesome!
That was amazing!!!!! One of the best roams we have been on :). Was good to see it from your point of view too Extreamly well worked and grats on the kills lol
The best thing about is that the FC popped before that warning went out and the FC hadn't noticed yet XD
i dont know anything about eve and i've just been randomly watching different eve vids trying to grasp whats going on and it was awesome to notice the drudkh song.
LOL made me love smartbombs even more :D even with they got me concorded like 5 times :D
Best warning: "Smartbombing Rooks and Kings! Smartbombing Rooks and Kings!"
the clatter of chaos in coms alone was worth watching
I love the tone of the callouts as soon as RnK arrives on field. Irritated "kill the fucking cyno" followed by a panicked "It's Rooks and Kings, it's Rooks and Kings, oh gods"
This is the single greatest thing i have ever seen. If i was some noob in that fight this is what would make me want to plAy the game XD
Its always fun to see your name/handle on youtube
Awesome vidya, and thanks for the POV, really loved the trap btw, very well executed.
Nothing Beats a Good SB drop... awesome guys!
Awesome. Shame you didn't have Local up so we could see it drop when the pods get to the disco!
\o/ hah im in the wolf at the end of the rvb clip. nearly shit on my chair hearing " Smart bombing rooks and kings" while in warp

Big ups, RvB, for being cool about the pipebomb
It's.......Beautiful......

By the time you realized what happened you're already back in station lol
oh its just the little "oh f**k" at 0.50 that does it for me ;p

I was there. For, like, 5 seconds.
I was there. Glorious death only because it was Rooks and Kings
A smartbomb video without Raver's Fantasy? Rooks and Kings revolutionizes the way EVE videos are made once again...
that was..... beautiful!
fair enough, I didn't pay attention after the first pipebomb

DO IT ZUN
and battleships ;)
done in catch this year on 2013-01-10 with test
They do, but they only used on type of SB, and overtanked on that resistance.
This was awesome!
gotta love DISCO ships
lol @ the guy who released his drones @3:09 :D
That was very efficient. How do you attack something like that?
i know jack for ship fits so think i would never be accepted... but i love E&K
Still think smartbombs should destroy wrecks.
a new hisec gate... nice
thats fucking disgusting, everything just went POP!
Song?
do smart bombs not affect friendlies?
What did you do with the female corpses?
actualy if you look at the end of the vid they pipe bomb a t3 fleet and that one of the most resilient fleet comp out and in the false tower vid they bomb a hurricane fleet so your frigate only comment is wrong
EPIC.
That was fucking awesome.
