<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Hello, hello, hello, hello. Thank you for the clapping. As you know, if you do not clap and call me sir, you will be kicked from the alliance. I am a tyrannical ruler. 

<br> <br> '''Apple Pear:''' <br> <br> Also, everybody should give Asher milk, because he really needs it. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> I shared that with you in confidence, Apple. This is not for the fireside. 

<br> <br> '''Apple Pear:''' <br> <br> I haven't shared anything specific. I just told them that you need milk and nothing more. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Hmm. Sounds like a technicality to me. 

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> But he is technically correct. The best kind of correct. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Please no clapping of cheeks in the fireside. Thank you very much. Teriel, technically I did not eat anything spicy. That is not an accurate statement. I was just spicy adjacent.

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> Cause, cause breathing is not technically eating. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> You know, you share something in confidence with your trusted directors, and they can't immediately go, Teehee! Have to share it with the line. You can't hire good help anymore. 

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> I'll say, to be fair, Asher, you even said, I should not tell you guys this, and then you told it to us anyway. So that's on you, man. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> That's fair enough. 

Jim Gonzo says, did everyone stay in the detention when Asher arrived? I hope so. It'd suck for you to get the airlock. From some of the messages you guys send me late late at night, I have a feeling that some of you are standing at attention when I come in the room at inappropriate times anyway, so, alright.

Okay, so, it's been an exciting week. I have I'm, I'm pretty, I'm pretty chuffed with how, how things have gone. At the start of the week, you may remember our enemies were gloating about how they don't take fights unless they're a hunDread percent sure they could win and how stupid it is that you know, I said on the last fireside that we will take hard fights so that we can learn how to win in any fight and that's a dumb idea according to them and then they doubled down on it and then we got into a fight.

Where they had roughly twice the number of Dreads than we did, and we came very close to parity on killing their Dreads. The numbers I pinged after the fight the enemy had 972 Dreads, we had 516. So almost double our number and we lost 263 and we killed 203. It's just an insanely, insanely good result. Given the massive disparity, you can't, you can't two to one dread numbers, but we performed so well. I haven't heard a bad thing from any Goon, everyone was excited to be there and I am extremely happy with our FC team. What they did was incredible. 

The number of Dreads that each alliance had keeping in mind that, you know, a year ago or two years ago, Horde was outforming us for Dreads, and by quite a bit. It's something that I've been banging this drum since basically I started. And we ended up having in goons, 347 Dreads on the field. Horde had 268. So congrats to you guys. We heavily outformed Horde. And that was not possible, not, not, not possible a year ago. Definitely not possible two years ago. So you guys have done it. 

Frat had 355. So fraternity had basically the same number as us. That's a shout out to them. Congrats. We're not going to pat ourselves on the back too hard for out-forming horde because we know this is not a fair game. We have to fight against everyone who fights us. And that means we need more dreads.

You guys saw what our guys can do outnumbered 2 to 1. Imagine what they can do with parity, right? Build more dreads, get more dreads. And we've taken rough dreadfights and, you know, we're going to keep taking fights. And you see the results, even when outnumbered, we're doing well. So, we're encouraging you guys to get more Dreads, we're using them, get more Dreads.

With that said, with that said, we are now adjusting our Dread priority. Someone just asked, THanatos just asked, and we are adjusting it. We're extremely happy with our Phoenix numbers, so we're moving it down on the priority. If you are training a Phoenix, like if you're in the middle of training it because we asked you to, you're free to get a Phoenix.

Don't, this is not saying we're not going to use Phoenixes, we are just happy with where they are currently. It's where we want to stick with Phoenixes. So our new Dread priority is Zirnitra and Revelation, Navy, Issue. Those are our number one Dreads. Then Moros, then Phoenix. And then way off in the distance, where we don't even pay attention to it, Naglfar. So, Zirn and RevNavy, then Moros, then Phoenix. 

<br> <br> '''Snipereagle1:''' <br> <br> The Nag is a bad Dread, but it's still better than no Dread. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Yeah, if you have a Nag and you still didn't manage to lose it, you don't have to throw it away, but Zirnitra Revelation Navy, Moros Navy, Phoenix. 

<br> <br> '''Apple Pear:''' <br> <br> And make sure this is for new accounts. Like keep the ones you have now because we like. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Yes.

No, we're happy with where we are currently with our current balance. We just want moving forward more Revelation Navies and then more Moros and Zirnitra 

<br> <br> '''Zintage Enaka:''' <br> <br> I just wanna be clear. The Zirn and the RNI are at the same level. It's not Zirn then RNI, they're the same. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Yeah, that's a good word. It's Zirn / RevNavy and then moving down the list.

What if I have a regular Rev? That's just fine. Arianrhod. That is no problem. We're happy with a regular Rev. If you can upgrade it or you can make yourself a second one, go for it. Kaz has posted the official Canon Dread Desire list. 

<br> <br> '''Apple Pear:''' <br> <br> The-Dungeon, yes. You should get your Apostle Pilot into a Rev. That's a great idea. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Why Rev Navy over Moros Navy if everyone's Dreads are tanked against Revs? It's no longer the case. They, they cannot spec tank us. That's part of the reason that our Zirns and Phoenixes are so powerful, is they can no longer spec tank. And that's not true for the rest of the game, pretty much everyone else is too heavy into the Rev Navy and so they can be spec tanked.

<br> <br> '''Zintage Enaka:''' <br> <br> If you look at hostile losses from that fight, guys, you'll notice that all their EM Hardeners disappeared and were replaced with Explosive Hardeners, just because how many Zirnitras we had. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Steve, save that question for later and I'll get to it. 

Okay, so where does it leave us as far as how we're feeling as a directorate? Really good. Really good. It's been feedback's been super positive. There are obviously things we can improve. Like we, I'm not saying we did everything perfectly, because you never do. We have gone into a whole lot of, you know, post opping and talking about what can we do better? What can we do, you know, this and that, that's still going on, but, we're super happy with the way it went. The only thing we know is that we need more dreads. So that's the most important thing to, to get across. Lancer Dreads will not be used soon. We did kill a Hubris and I am I was really chuffed to kill that thing. That was good. Yeah, listen, you don't know about Hubris? Maybe I'll have to explain Hubris sometime, but not today. 

<br> <br> '''Snipereagle1:''' <br> <br> Somebody asked about what happened to the nag and basically with dreads getting more expensive, it makes a lot more sense to invest more in their tank and the nag with its minmatar slot layout of being confused whether it has more mid slots or low slots, It just doesn't have a great layout compared to everything else. So, that's why. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> It doesn't do any, it doesn't do any one thing well, basically. 

<br> <br> '''Kazanir:''' <br> <br> People find a lot of uses for the Nag fleet issue and other active tanking situations like in wormholes. They're very popular, for example, but in a fleet situation doesn't work out. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Yeah. So they're not great ships. 

<br> <br> '''Kazanir:''' <br> <br> I wanted to comment. This might be the first time for a lot of people. If you, for example, weren't here for the big war a few years back, you're what you're new to the Imperium. This might be the first time people have seen the full array of our hostiles forces. So I thought this was a great and sobering reminder of just how just how big our enemies are and what we face in trying to keep any corner of the universe free of their nonsense. So I really enjoyed this week. I'm thankful for everyone for stepping up. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Guys, you sent me a lot of questions. I will get to them after I go through this, so do not worry. Just save them for then and I will answer it. Yeah, so that, overall, that's the wrap up for what went on with that. Generally, we are really positive about what happened, so if you have any questions, you can ask them later, and I'll get to them.

Even ask why the pullback on PNI priority. I think I already explained this, but we're happy with the numbers right where they are. We want them to stick right about there, and we want to increase the REVnavy numbers and Zirnitra numbers. And sorry my voice is kind of going I'm going to power through it and then I'll I'm going to just be quiet for four hours, as hard as that is for me.

Okay I do want to talk about a couple things. I think are important. There's a lot of building going on, as you might expect. So GSOL needs liquid ozone. That's, that's an important thing. Exploration loot, gas, etc. NPC dreadloot. Keep those all in Delve. Please do not ship those off.

Please sell those in Delve, especially right now. We need to buy them for buybacks. As far as Dread SRP, all Dreads are currently SRP'd. That means there is a an SRP available for everyone right now. Please check your contracts. If you have not applied for your SRP for your Dread, please make sure you do so. The main bottleneck right now is we don't have enough contract slots. So, go ahead and accept your SRP so we can give out SRP to other people. Please be checking frequently. Yeah, Heck is making contracts as we speak, but all Dreads are SRP'd or ready to be as soon as people accept contracts. Yeah.

So if you have something in asset safety in Amazon, just asset safety it to the station in there. And it'll be very cheap because it's in system. We are getting skill points plus Gnosis and Praxis with the event. Please don't sell your Gnosis in Praxis. Hold on to those. We have uses for them in the skill points. With all these changes coming up, it will be highly likely you'll need skills. So, keep training your skills. Or, sorry, keep holding on to the skill points and hold on to the Gnosis and the Praxis. 

And last thing I wanted to hit was Control Alt Delve. Can I get someone to please Control Alt Delve. There we go. This is the Alpha Clone. We require this for everyone. It's not something we've been hard enforcing lately, but if you do not have an Alpha Clone, please make sure you do now. We have plans for those and, you know, stay tuned to see what happens. But if you don't have one make sure that it's training. It is a simple thing to do. And everyone should have one. 

https://goonfleet.com/index.php/topic/330166-control-alt-delve-alpha-clones-to-defend-delve/

Alright my directors, do you guys have anything you want to talk about that I haven't hit before I go to questions? 

<br> <br> '''Apple Pear:''' <br> <br> One of the questions was like, people worried about the Naglfars. What you should do is just use your Naglfar on fleet until it dies, and then you buy another type of dread.

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Yep, that's exactly it. 

Alrighty you got questions? Go ahead and ask them. Boy, dynuxyz_bocin asks, what's the current position on Titans? Should we still get at least one armor and one shield? So, Titans have been made sort of intentionally poor by CCP. I don't think they'll stay that we forever. I think that you should get Titans if it appeals to you. I certainly like Titans, but there's just not a ton of chances to use them. I think that there are reasonable odds that there will be some NPC, like, you know ratting type things with Titans soon. It seems like CCP's hinting at that, so that could be a use. We'll see what they do with them. If you want to get them Erebus, Levi are, are recommended Titans, and then Ragnarok, and we do not recommend Avatars. Avatars are the Naglfars of Titans. If you already have an Avatar, keep it, obviously. It's something like a, like a, a Nag. Yeah, there goes Archon getting it correct. 

Let's see. Steve the Pirate asks about PH propaganda during the week on Reddit. Could it be an actual threat? I, I don't think that's 100 percent accurate. That seems more like a fever dream. I have been sitting here on the fire side for two years telling them what they did wrong. I would be surprised. They don't, they think like it's just all BS, right? They think that we're huffing our own farts over here. And so even if you tell them the truth, they don't listen to it, which is why I don't mind doing it. They could try it, but I, I, I would, I'm skeptical. 

I'm scrolling back through your questions from before. Why is PI so expensive? I do not know. 

<br> <br> '''Snipereagle1:''' <br> <br> It's people speculating for the expansion. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> There you go. Saharu says, do we expect more big dread brawls in the future? Yes, yes, there will be more Dread brawls. There are Dread brawls to come. 

Horde's... Ductanium says, Horde seems to actually engage in more fights nowadays. Will we see more big fights in the near future? No, Horde, Horde are not engaging in more fights than they normally do. Was the initiative final timer the day after? They blue balled that one. You know, they, they're, they're, they are the you know, hell dunks or blue balls Alliance. They learned all the wrong lessons and you know, their pirate pilots are sort of in this weird, you know, cargo cold mentality. And that explains partly why they're so bad at playing this game. 

Do we have 3000 Dreads yet? Not yet. We need more. You're asking as a poor who can. Can't even dream of having one dread, let alone some people having four dreads. So, Terlane, it's really easy to not be a poor and we have about a thousand ways to, to make money. So, if, if that's the holdup, you could make the money to have a dread.

Asher, why do you hate flip flops? I don't understand the question. Are you saying I do or other people? You have to ask again. I'm going to keep scrolling. 

<br> <br> '''Snipereagle1:''' <br> <br> You said that crocs are better than flip flops, remember? 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth like that. That is disgusting. 

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> Oh, that sounds like blasphemy there. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Yeah, yeah. Listen, I'll listen to you guys slandering me about not liking spicy foods even though I'm basically Jamaican in my food taste. But not, not the crocslander. 

<br> <br> '''Snipereagle1:''' <br> <br> Jamaican bad decision. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Hey, there it is. I was setting someone up for that one. 

involves_aurilen asks Does the alliance have skill plans for RNIs? I don't know that we have a particular skill plan for an RNI and two, for those that came from initiative, can we use, can we use our old ghost alts for the alpha in goons? Yeah, your ghost should be fine. Alpha was something, we just basically stole initiative ghost, so that was, that was, we're like, that's a good idea, we're gonna do that, yoink.

Let's see. Alan says, I want to, a huge shout out for that fight in Ahbazon. For our FCs and our pilots, things seem to go relatively smoothly. Shit was dope. Thank you, everyone. Thanks, man. I know the FC team loves to hear that. Everyone here puts in a lot of effort to make those things go well. So you know, if you're ever wondering if you should say, Hey, thanks, FC, and give them a message, or thanks for fueling this jump bridge, GSOL, or whatever it is It's always better to say it than not to say it, because people are spending their time to make sure that we can play this game, and it goes easy for us.

Can we get Wibla to run for the CSM, please? Terrial? No. I don't think that would go well. I don't know that Wibla has the the demeanor to handle CCP. That seems like a bad idea. 

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> There's a question about Dread SRP. Check your mains and check the Account of the all that actually lost it, you know, just to make sure it doesn't get sent to the main or that account that lost your dread. So check both of those guys. 

<br> <br> '''Kazanir:''' <br> <br> Right? So, to be clear, you have to file in affordable care, just like normal, just like a sub cap. Right, but it will come as a hull as a contract with ISK for the fit, depending, but get it filed in affordable care, and you should see that. I would say latest within 24 hours if not much earlier.

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> I'm scrolling down, Colton says that there is the forum post for the Manchester meetup, so go ahead and click that if you are near Manchester in England, unfortunately. 

https://goonfleet.com/index.php/topic/355672-meet-mind1-in-manchester-feeler/

Dungeon Master asks, why are Avatars not wanted? That's the one I want to train. If that's what your heart wants, then get it, man. You know, it's your titan. I'm not going to tell you what to get. The avatar is just, it's the worst Titan. There's so many of them that in a, in a, in a Titan fight, everyone tanks against the avatar, you're going to do the least amount of damage. And you're going to die relatively early because the tank is no longer good. So but if, if having a space butt plug, just makes your eyes light up, then get it, man, we're not going to say no, but we're telling you, what are the better ones to get?

What's the chances of seeing a big fight in EU time zone at some point? Pretty good. Pretty good. 

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> I mean, CAD knows, no time zones, guys. Get your CAD alts.

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> People are asking future plans questions and I'm just skipping over those because future plans.

Lieutenant Gann asks, what is the GSF official best practice? Hash brown in the McMuffin or on the side? I kind of got baited into that. It sounded like an Eve question and then I read it as it went on. Hash brown in the McMuffin? I don't know about this sorcery. I'll have to check it out and give you an update. 

<br> <br> '''Kazanir:''' <br> <br> Don't answer this. Don't answer it. Answer it. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> I don't know. Is this like the OJ question where people get really upset about something that doesn't matter at all? 

<br> <br> '''Kazanir:''' <br> <br> I'm pretty sure. 

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> Pretty sure. Yeah. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Ranger does have a really cute dog. So apparently Ranger, there are more pictures of your dogs wanted. 

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> I just posted some yesterday. You bastards. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Are RNIs good for crab beacons? Revelation navies. Yeah. Revelation navies are good for crab beacons. 

Any more info on the plans for the new expansion? They haven't really released more details since we last talked about it November, so no plans outside of what we discussed, which is sort of to wait and see what they do. 

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> All right, Troy, you took that too far, man. We were torture on Asher, now you took that too far. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> I have not got down there. I'm still scrolled up, like, quite a bit. Wayland says, Asher, you mentioned NPC dreadloot. Do we have a planned guide for killing these dreads for solo or multibox players? I I don't know. I don't know. I don't know much about the NPC fighting. So, maybe? 

<br> <br> '''Apple Pear:''' <br> <br> There is a very easy thing to do, just DD the rats and then they die. But I don't know if that's the most economical answer. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Just have a Titan 5 Head is the answer? 

<br> <br> '''Apple Pear:''' <br> <br> You like, I know like NPC dreads died to one dd, so like I know from experience that.. 

<br> <br> '''Snipereagle1:''' <br> <br> Sounds like a great thing to join beehive and talk about. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Yeah, that seems like something beehive can help you with. I know you can drop a carrier at range. Some people do that. 

All right. Lemme scroll down here. Numbers for beehive were amazing today. Thanks for those who showed up. That's good. 

I have joined Cap Swarm and look forward to be sending my PNI i to an early grave. Excellent. 

Dave, I ignore your question.

<br> <br> '''Snipereagle1:''' <br> <br> While Asher's catching up on questions, I'll hit on the, a little bit of the the one about the expansion, right? So we have all the stuff they released a couple of weeks ago. There should be more information coming over the course of this month. In the meantime, the best thing you can do is stock up on ISK. ISK is always useful. Like we said, keep your skill points you know, just be, it's the, it's potentially a calm before the storm kind of thing. So You know, we will see what happens with the, I almost said the alliance, I meant to say the expansion. But yeah, it's a good time to make some ISK and be ready for what happens.

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Yep, that's a good word. Evoke, who it's hard for me not to say who they literally are, asks, Asher, they backed out of the INIT fort after their success. Do you think they're happy turning up in Dreads again? I think that they had essentially every advantage and that's why they went in on that fight. They have obviously not done that many times before when they had the opportunity to. That's fine. That's what I discussed a lot. That's what I said last weekend. And that's what I'm saying here again. Is the best thing we can do is be prepared and go in there and take fights. And the more fights we take, the better we get. And that's, that's, that's my attitude. And that's what I want to try and convey to everyone. And you guys get to see the results, right? When you see how well things go, when we are outnumbered, then you know why, when we have even numbers, they lose the fights. And that's, that is the result of that. It's not, you know, there's a process to becoming good at anything, and we always do that process.

So Horde seems to drop Dreads and Supers to fight 30-40 Harpies. Can we do that to them in our space? Asks blyston_vandegear. That's a good question. So Horde does not have NPC Dread space, or NPC space, to dock up Dreadnaughts In the dronelands, that means that they have essentially little to no threat to their supers. We do not have that in Delve. They have, you know, a hundred dreads or whatever available at any one time. You have to be more careful. This is sort of the same thing I'm talking about. The fact that you have tougher enemies and tougher scenarios makes us better at ratting, right? That's why Our guys just respond way better than theirs do.

Am I a Hardest Roads Merchant? Yes, I am a Hardest Roads Merchant. No one asked, I'm just telling you that. 

How much spice is too much spice? Not a lot. 

Someone asked about the AT. We will have a team. I can't tell you any more than that. 

A bunch of people have asked me about the war plan leak. I've already discussed it. I think it's probably a fake. But, you know, who knows. The spelling was bad enough that it could be our enemies. 

Okay, it scrolled too far. If you have a question that I haven't answered, just throw it out again, because I am just too deep in the scroll back here. 

What kind of beer do you like? I'm not a big beer drinker.

What is the best troll did you ever hear? This is like a really old one, but if you're familiar with the PowerBook that's one of my favorites from all time. 

Bistot rule, will it change? Once again, we are waiting for the MER on that. We will tell you. 

Thoughts on the Capsuleer Day event? I don't know much about it, so I can't give you thoughts.

<br> <br> '''Ranger Gama:''' <br> <br> There's a lot of SP, guys. Get your SP. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> When will we get Super Fights? CCP is trying to make Super Fights not a thing, so Dread Fights are likely the future until there are some changes. That doesn't mean that they won't ever be used, but that means that the default would be Dreads. 

Detour, you keep asking about SRP for Beehive, Dreads no. That's not a thing. 

Okay, there's a Doctor Who event? Okay. Sounds interesting. 

I would not sell your supers, but it's up to you. They are, it is your super. 

How important are FAXes these days? They're less important than they used to be in the Titan and Super Meta, but they still are important. So we definitely need them we use them a lot in Beehive, for instance and we use them for subs. So they are important. 

<br> <br> '''Apple Pear:''' <br> <br> We need more local rep Minokawas and more local rep FAXes. That's like the last time we did that, that was a bit slim that we asked for them. So, and that's a lot of fun if you do battleship fleets to run FAXes and rep everything. That's a nice skill to have and a lot of fun in using them.

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Klexos asked if I engage in spreading democracy and liberty. I do not play Helldivers. I don't have a PSN account, so I can't. Sorry. 

<br> <br> '''Kazanir:''' <br> <br> You guys waited this long to ask him that. That's what you get for that, you know. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Dogma says, Asher, for a purr, would you rather have a baby goat or a matterbaby? I don't know what I just read, so I have no answer.

Did Bomberwaffe get closed? They did not. 

<br> <br> '''Zintage Enaka:''' <br> <br> Yes, they did. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> We closed Bomberwaffa? Oh, my bad. I thought we were just letting it waiting for someone, but yeah, we didn't really have anyone running it. So it didn't make sense to have it active. 

<br> <br> '''Zintage Enaka:''' <br> <br> It makes more sense to have people in their mains and battleships and let the multiboxers handle bomb runs.

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Oh, I was getting set up. What's the matter, baby? Smells like updog in here, doesn't it? 

<br> <br> '''Snipereagle1:''' <br> <br> What's up, dog? 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Can existing normal, not daily dreads be used until they don't die? That question was written very confusingly, Skynet, but yeah, you can use regular dreads until they die. 

Carneros asking me a question about wines, very on point. I don't have an answer for you. 

Careful that you don't catch Ligma. What's Ligma? Congrats, guys. You did it. Yes, wine is too spicy for me. Good call. 

All right, it seems like we are into the ridiculous question segment of the fireside. Guys, please stand at attention, clap, and salute before you leave. Or you will be kicked, of course. Airlocked. Thank you for showing up and I will see you all next week. 

Terlane, we still use normal dreads? Yes. 

<br> <br> '''Apple Pear:''' <br> <br> Any dreads is better than no dread. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> Yep. Karek, we will be doing dread move op soon if you want to get back from where you are. 

Elias, to answer your question there are objectives outside of Horde. Yes. 

If you're in Ahbazon, there will be move ups out of there. So don't worry about that.

<br> <br> '''Kazanir:''' <br> <br> All weekend people possibly even right now, but all weekend. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> I like how it's all ridiculous questions, then I say goodbye, then people have actual, relatively important questions. 

If I have a Zirn trained but not bought on alts, should I train to other Dreads or just buy Zirn hulls? I think if you train the Zirn, it's just fine to buy a Zirn. It's still our, our highest priority Dread along with the Rev Navy. 

Polish dog over a regular hot dog. Yeah, definitely Polish dog. 

Does a Zirn work for crab? I don't think so, but I'm not sure. 

<br> <br> '''Zintage Enaka:''' <br> <br> It does not, no. 

<br> <br> '''Asher Elias:''' <br> <br> So Zen asks about what is the big move for the alliance to put everyone into Dreads? How can we help get in a Dread? I mean, that's how you help. And we've been trying to put people in Dreads for years now. So it's it's just something we're keeping on pushing. 

I heard you said some good stuff about Raven Navies on your fleet. I mean, yeah, the Raven Navies did great. This is a little confusing, by the way, when we're talking about RNIs because we are also talking about Rev Navies, but in this case, the Raven Navies were, were great. Did it really well. We were happy with them so far. 

Charlotte asks if when the current Rev dies. Do we go Navy, Rave, or sorry, Navy Rev or Zirn? It's equal right now Charlotte, so you could go either. I would say just go Rev. We can use that Rev. That'd be fine. 

Are Typhoons somehow expected to come back? Typhoons are like Palpatine. They somehow will return. 

Troy asks if Raven Navy's are prioritized over Rokhs. That's a good question. I would probably say Rokh is a little higher. Obviously train both, but I know they're different skills. So I would say the Rokh first. 

Abazon sub caps extraction will happen this weekend.

Do Ravens need Rokhs to clear firewalls? It is certainly helpful raven navies can do that themselves, but having the Rokh fleet doesn't hurt. 

Do you have any foresight using Blop fleets aside from the beehive? That's a good question, Astaria. It's something we've talked about and there's definitely a possibility. I can't say more than that, but yeah, it's certainly possible. 

Sapphire, I like your idea. Probably not going to happen, but I like it. 

Is there an easier way to at someone in, I assume you mean in Jabber? You're typing the first letters of their name, Queen Swiss, and then hit tab. And as long as you have, it's like no one else shares those initial letters, it'll fill it out. So if you type A S H E and hit tab, it'll pick mine out. That's the kind of question I like, because people just don't, there's just a certain amount of people who just don't know that. And I don't think they say it every now and again, but it's a, it's a good thing to say. 

Smasher didn't work. Yeah, sorry. I'll have to alias myself. 

All right. Well, that's the bonus session over guys. 

And by the way, Tariel, some, some discords I'm in that I'm not admin in have like force aliased me as Sir Asher. So, and I can't do anything about it there. So I am Sir Asher in some places. 

Metashow should be interesting today. It should be. 

All right. Fireside bonus time over. I got to do run and do some stuff. Thank you guys so much for showing up. Appreciate all the questions and I will talk to you later.
