As soon as the cyno is lit, the friendly titan bridges all battleships to the cyno. When all battleships are through, they immediately activate all of their smartbombs (using their cap boosters if necessary).

When the hostile fleet lands on the bubble, its members are subjected to damage from the smartbombs -- each battleship can deal up to 2400 damage per volley (320 dps) to all ships inside a 6 km radius. If the pipebombing fleet has 20 battleships, this equates to a total of up to 6400 dps to all hostile ships caught in the middle, enough to take out all but the hardiest ships (and their pods, too) in a matter of seconds. The pipe bombing battleships will also damage each other, but will last much longer because they are specifically tanked to resist each other's damage.

Rooks and Kings have used this tactic to completely obliterate much larger fleets. Their video Clarion Call 4 demonstrates the effective use of this tactic at great length. The tactic also made an appearance in the Eve trailer "This is Eve".
