This is the story of the creation of a super weapon in the fight of the few against the many in EVE online. This story is of a small corporation (of about two dozen members) called Rooks and Kings developing and using a super weapon, whose ammo was their own pilots, to take on some of the biggest coalitions in EVE. This weapon, known as a pipebomb, used battleships armed with smartbombs, a form of AOE weapon that blasts everything around a pilot's ship including allies, that would be "fired" by a capital ship towards the destination of an enemy fleet. Using this tactic Rooks and Kings destroyed fleets of over a hundred using fewer the 30 of their own. This video explains the rise and use of this weapon.
