Fireside Chat Transcript 09 Dec 2k23

Asher Elias:

Hello everybody.

Ranger Gama:

So I know we all like to give Asher a hard time, but he's really not feeling too well. So if you guys can't hear him too well, he is actually talking. He's just a little soft today with the voice.

Asher Elias:

Yeah. No, I'm sick as a dog. Yeah. Some of you heard me on fleets this week and you know, it's been progressing.

So yeah, we're gonna have, we're gonna have Ranger do the fireside today. I, I can't talk for more than 30 seconds without coughing a fit. Um, do remember that he's a, a teacher. Actually, he's a professor, you know, so any, any questions you have for him, you know, you make sure you ask him those too.

Ranger Gama:

My comms lagged out right there and all I heard was make sure you ask him questions. I do believe I just got thrown under a bus.

Asher Elias:

Yeah, just they're gonna ask you questions about anything and everything and just some of a reminder. We will be doing a fireside next week, but the two weeks after that the 23rd and the 30th We don't have anything planned the 23rd for sure. There'll be no fireside the 30th We might do like an open comms type fireside.

We'll see. We're gonna maybe do something fun for that one, but be aware so next week we will have one And then the 2 weeks after that, we'll have, uh, holiday firesides or none at all.

Go ahead.

Ranger Gama:

Um, I'll say so a couple of questions here. Um, first one, I'll say, like, sniper apple. When you guys are around, are there going to be any more F7c move ops? I don't believe we talked about it, but that's definitely a question for you guys.

Snipereagle1:

I had to find myself to unmute. Uh, we'll probably do one after the 1st.

Ranger Gama:

Why is the sky blue? Refractive index of air molecules. Alters the light.

Uh, gamble. If you have this rash, dude, I told you always make sure you check before. You know, we shouldn't keep going down that conversation. Should we? I'll try. I'm going to ignore you now, just because. Uh,

I'm a biochemist and molecular biologist. Uh, I also am a professor of business intelligence and analytics. So, yes, probably after the 1st of the year for a move up there, man,

Organized_teddy asks, can you make meth? Yeah, it's not that hard. Any chemist can do it.

Uh, Gilite, uh, that's a common joke among, uh, Illuminati is that, uh, when I join the comms, the average IQ goes up. When Asher joins, it goes down.

Asher Elias:

Wait, what the fuck? No one's told me this joke before.

Zintage Enaka:

Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard that joke either.

Asher Elias:

I think Ranger just made that up to roast me.

Ranger Gama:

Me, would I do that to you, Asher?

Asher Elias:

Never.

Ranger Gama:

Alright Beyond, that's cold, man. That's cold blooded.

Uh, we do have a couple of actual agenda items for today, then we'll get back to some, uh, Eve banter, shall we say.

Got an official request from Sopleb, uh, GSOL needs Liquid Ozone. As you all know, Jump Bridges are neat and fun, and they allow us to move around our space. They also use a fuckton of Liquid Ozone. He is going to be putting up a thread later today, and If you've got some Ozone sitting around, um, his usual drop off place is in 1DQ itself, but he tends to, uh, accept contracts elsewhere and then makes the GSOL guys move them, so, um, please don't contract it in Jita. Jesus. I know like five of you just about did it. Uh, that's a big one from Sopleb, and let me switch over to the other menu to get the other menu.

Uh, Toaster, you're up. You wanna talk about, um, the Beehives.

Toaster Jane:

Yeah, so a bunch of new corps have joined the Imperium and that's great. I highly suggest that if you want to do any sort of capital PVE, you make sure that you join Beehive. I will link now.

https://goonfleet.com/index.php/topic/347344-sig-beehive-your-one-stop-shop-for-capital-ratting-in-delve/

Uh, as a part of that, we are also trying to find more guard bees for the EU time zone. Uh, so if that's something that interests you at the bottom of the post, there is a link for that and we will also be trying to run beehive introductory classes every Sunday, so there will probably be one tomorrow most likely. But please join beehive in your capital; a few have died lately that were not and they would have been very easy to save.

Ranger Gama:

Got one from Zintage get into and train the new Daka fleet Says our battleship numbers are a little low. Logi numbers are great. As somebody who used to fly logi all the time, it's rare that you get into a fleet and have the FC say, I have too much logi. I've only heard it once in all the fleets I've ever been on. But, uh, more, more battleships would be great. Um, Zintage, Sniper, do you guys want to talk anymore about Daka fleet? There is that.

Apple Pear:

It's not battleships, it's sleipnirs, command ships.

Zintage Enaka:

That was two separate points. Uh, basically guys get training into the Daka fleet. We want to keep using it. We've already used it a couple times, but our numbers aren't where we'd like them. We're getting, like, 80 Sleipnirs. I know it takes a while to train, but we'd like to be getting up to, like, the 150 Sleipnir range. Uh, past that, the separate point was our battleship fleets. We've been really, really light on battleships compared to Logi. Like, I've been doing Leshak fleets. We've been getting, like, 90 Leshaks. And then 60 Logi. I'd, we'd like to see that number where we're always at like 150 battleships. That, that's basically it.

Ranger Gama:

Alright, cool cool.

Asher Elias:

So I have one thing I want to talk about. Um, this is an overall, like, state of the galaxy type thing. So, we've been having a lot of our fleets go through wormholes. Uh, it turns out that if you're PAPI and you own, you know, 3 quarters of the galaxy, it's a lot of space to defend. Um, I've been watching the pings from Gobbins, and he's been pinging out, it feels like pretty much every day, at least, uh, some like pissant 2 billion isk BR that he's like cherry picked in one system, saying look guys, you're so amazing, this is the best fucking thing ever, like, uh, This is what you do when you're worried and you're trying to motivate people.

Uh, so we have lots of people going through holes, Toaster is linking them.

https://goonfleet.com/index.php/topic/348913-sig-scanner-bees/

Uh, keep joining those fleets. If you guys are wondering if they are having an effect, I can promise you they're having an effect. I know what, uh, executor panic or worry looks like. And that's exactly what we're seeing. Uh, when you're paying out a BR that is literally like 2 billion is killed where your, uh, rapid light cruisers killed some frigates, uh, you're worried. And there's a lot of worry right now. So definitely keep joining those fleets. They're being very successful.

Zintage Enaka:

Would you like me to break out some of the BRs real quick, Asher?

Asher Elias:

I would love that. Yeah.

Zintage Enaka:

So guys, we, we've been keeping track of the BRs for like the past two weeks, and I'm just going to start linking some of them in Elysium for you.

Asher Elias:

Do you have like a, do you have like a document of this Zintage?

Zintage Enaka:

We have a thread in the guard bees, not the guard bees, in the tactical commander channel.

Asher Elias:

Altarari's all over the place. Nicely done. Yeah, we killed the site. Ah, we goon rushed it. That's a classic. Well, so you guys can click those links on your own time, but, um, this is one of the nice things about, you know, having access to Intel channels is you get to see that.

And that's why I wanted to tell you guys is that you don't get to see the sort of concern and worry. Uh, and, um, I know, yeah, like I said, I know, I know what that is. Uh, and when you're, when you're trying to find cherry picked BRs to ping to people. Uh, you're worried. And so, um, special shout out to a couple of FCs that have been doing that.

Uh, I know Arkadios has been going a lot. Um, Tetrakill has been doing the hunting. Um, there's a couple others. I'm, I'm, Fever Addlebrain is not remembering. Zintage do you have some other shout outs?

Zintage Enaka:

Mist has been doing a lot. Alterarri's also been doing a lot, Weasel, etc.

Asher Elias:

Oh yeah, RooSquad. They've had some awesome Tengu fights with the RooSquad, actually.

Heinrich, Firestar, nice. Cool. It's definitely been a group effort, and we've been spamming fleets and having good results. It's especially more impressive because we're essentially limited to destroyers and down. So we're doing this with, and they get to always pick the counter doctrine, and we're still doing well with that.

My favorite ping this last week was, uh, in all caps guys, where are my fucking numbers? Uh, that was my favorite Panfam, uh ping this week

Ranger Gama:

Uh next one that we've got is Sigs and squads. We're always looking for all that more people for Sigs and squads Sticks. Are you around to talk about that? I didn't prime you that way. It might put you under the bush.

Snipereagle1:

I don't think he is.

Kazanir:

There's a recruitment forum. Hit it up.

Asher Elias:

Yeah. One more thing I want to talk about regarding enemy, uh, is that they have their own sort of, uh, beehive equivalent. And essentially in the last, I would say 10 days, they have been, uh, stopped all dradnought krab ratting. There just isn't any, they don't do it anymore. Dreadnoughts and carriers just don't do it anymore out there, so this has also been quite successful.

Zintage Enaka:

Plus I heard Pankrabs actually been down for about 16 hours currently?

Asher Elias:

Yeah, um, and when it is up, which has been relatively rare this week, uh, it has only been, like, supers ratting, nothing else. Uh, which is amazing given the advantages that they have in that space, uh, given that there's no NPC space and we have NPC space here, we lost the world's worst fit Hell that was not in beehive because of course it wasn't, uh, earlier this week, but, uh, the fact that, uh, that's like that, that the lowest of hanging fruit is all they can get, uh, when they have NPC space and they're shutting theirs down when, when we, you know, we don't, it's crazy. It's, it speaks well to you guys. Yeah, I know the training pod. I was, I was shaking my head, the whole thing.

Ranger Gama:

Uh, so the next one that I've got, I have a request for a shout out for the DC meet that's coming up. Uh, there's the link that I was given for that. So if you all are interested in that, it's going to be the second week of January out in, uh, DC.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2024-rampage-inc-eve-dc-meetup-january-12-15-tickets-721374730237?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl

So. Uh, mostly it's Mrs. Brisc doing that. Of course, Brisc puts his name on it, but we all know it's Mrs. Brisc doing all the work. So, if you all want to check out that link for all those pieces.

Uh, last one I've got is about the, uh, winter events, the winter nexus. Um, we had Kremlin just a little while ago, and it was really fun. One person was saying that one of their members were making a ton of money, and another one was saying that they weren't making all that much money.

And for those of you who are not on, uh, like Jabber, listening to this recording later, uh, Heidi has done fucked up, you know, so he just got a rip. Well, we'll deal with some competence.

directorbot: rest in piss heidi zxc

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍This was a broadcast from asher_elias to all

Yeah. We'll deal with some horrible thing with, with Heidi later, but. So rip to Heidi.

Snipereagle1:

A quick reminder on the event sites, normal anomaly rules apply. So, uh, if you're, they can be done in Imperium space. You shouldn't be doing them in Fountain. Uh, if you want to do them in Hostile space, more power to you. Lowsec as well. But yeah, just be respectful of the typical ratting guidelines.

Ranger Gama:

Uh, so any other director? I am out, I believe, of the agenda. If I missed anything, please let me know.

Asher Elias:

I think we're good to go.

Ranger Gama:

Okay, so open, open comms in. If anybody's got any questions, we'll, we'll do questions for a little bit and we'll call it a Saturday. Maybe no clap for you.

Uh, piping there for scouts. Scouts are always good. We need scouts to scout things. If you're interested in following fleets around, looking at enemy stagers, doing all this kind of pieces, uh, take a look at that thread there.

Snipereagle1:

Uh, somebody made, somebody made a cringey comment, which I won't repeat, but, uh, if you're interested, the Vanguard Play test is still going to the rest of today, I think, or maybe through the 11th.

Ranger Gama:

Oh, see. Xviz. Damn. Um, so if you've got something where you're buying a character off of the, like a character Bazaar, that transfer on a team, put an IT ticket in, man, that can be sorted, uh, Claudius, there's, there's no help for you, man. You just, you're special. We all love you for it.

Snipereagle1:

All right. Thanks everybody.

Ranger Gama:

And, uh, we'll see you next week. Have a good weekend, everybody. We'll see everybody next week.

Asher Elias:

See you.
