Fireside Chat Transcript 2025 03 01
Toaster Jane:
Hello, everyone. Just going to give another 10 seconds here for the numbers to stabilize.
Snipereagle1:
You know you don't have to read from the script, Toaster.
Zintage Enaka:
I was about to say.
Toaster Jane:
I'm just practicing my Ron Burgundy voice here, you know. I'm just going to blindly read things from a list. Practicing being Asher. Okay, this seems good enough.
Okay, we'll get started here. First of all, Zintage has something to say about something fun happening.
Zintage Enaka:
Uh, are we starting out with that?
Toaster Jane:
Okay, then we'll end with it. First of all, we're going to talk about GSOL having a buyout and I will post the link or a buyback. Excuse me. Give me 1 second here. So they're doing a new GSOL buyback program.
https://goonfleet.com/index.php/topic/366127-sell-gsol-your-liquid-ozone-minerals-and-pi/
There's the link. Use it.
The other thing on my list here. So we have the server fund. It goes towards making sure that we have all these great services and they can, well, pretty good services and they continue to run. So, let's make sure as best we can, if you can contribute, please contribute to the server fund. Here, let me post that link. To keep our pretty good, not bad at all, services running, please contribute if you can.

So we have Locust next weekend. Rocks pop on the 7th, more moons to get through. The team's been doing really well about getting through them quickly. So next weekend, Locust.
Also everyone's favorite thing in the world is starting next week. Daylight savings happens on March 9th. So that will ruin everything. So get ready Euros for everything to be super confusing.
Also, we have CAD so Control Alt Delve. Please join it. If you do not have a CAD Alt, we're planning on using it more. We're also gonna be moving them throughout the week. So please join. If you do not have an alt, we will shame you if you don't. So please make sure you get a CAD alt together. We're gonna be switching staging throughout the week. I think Nina's fucking with me. And that's fine. No, we're gonna be doing move ops, so don't worry. You're just gonna log in when we tell you. We'll get you moved real quickly. It should take like no time at all.

Snipereagle1:
Yeah, you're posting a Discord link, Toaster, instead of a link to what you meant to link.
Ranger Gama:
Yeah, so that your links actually don't work, Toaster.
Toaster Jane:
That's what it looks like on mine. Oh, shit. Oops. We'll post the real links. Server fund link.
Kazanir:
Have you guys ever run a fireside before?
Toaster Jane:
No, I think this is my first time.
Ranger Gama:
It is his first one, so we're gonna we're gonna be gentle with you just this once.
Toaster Jane:
No, that's not true. We don't have to be gentle.
Snipereagle1:
Yeah, fuck that.
Toaster Jane:
This is the first one in my memory. Uh, there's that one and then the control out delve forum link is right here. Hazing is required.
Ranger Gama:
So should we point out that the one eyed make belief is having trouble with his links?
Toaster Jane:
Yes, we should point out the hapline guy is posting shit bad. Nina, don't worry, you're 100 percent correct. Not too many things on my list, but Zintage, do you want to talk about your thing?
Zintage Enaka:
Well, I have a lot of things, but I can start getting through the meat and potatoes.
Kazanir:
We have a long time for you to talk about them now, go ahead.
Zintage Enaka:
Alright, so the first thing actually isn't on the list, but I'm going to shout it out. So, for those of you that were in Delve, you remember AKC. We have actually recruited Lowland, which is the guy that ran AKC and we're gonna start having whaling fleets, so keep an eye out for those bomber pings. That should be a lot of fun for you guys.
Moving on to the next thing, let me pull up my list. Mallet Fleet, our T1 Feroxes, they are officially axed from our doctrines. ESS stuff will now be handled by Snail Fleet, which is our Moas, or, if it's something that requires it, we'll continue to use Rokhs. We weren't really using the Feroxes much anyway.
Next thing So 2230 today, and we're actually gonna start it now, so Baschti, go ahead and get the fleet up. All caps right now, we're moving to 0SHT-A. There is a hostile staging Fortizar, so I don't know if you guys know who Hold My Probes are. They were the guys that were living in Feythabolis that got evicted by Sigma and Co. They got evicted, they went and joined PanFam, and now they're trying to pick up new space that happens to be directly under my new Keepstar. Funny how that works. So we're gonna go kill their staging Fortizar. The armor timer's today, so we're gonna start moving all our caps there. Combat Dreads, once we are done with this Fortizar, your new home is going to be the 0SHT-A Keepstar. So Dreads, Booster Caps, your new home is going to be that 0SHT-A Keepstar, and we're going to keep looking to get you guys fights over in that area. If you guys haven't been paying attention, the past two weekends, we've been poking around, making timers, trying to provoke fights. We took something like 10, 12 moons in Curse just past couple weekends So we're gonna keep this up and we're gonna try and get you guys fights in the area. So I think that's the end of my spiel.
Toaster Jane:
Not a bad spiel. Yeah, if you saw people who see it just read your pings.
So we also got a really fun dev blog on the weekend, so we're all full of hopium right now, and I have a wonderful quote from Kaz who we were like, who could actually like, talk about this dev blog and Kaz was kind enough to say that he has neither the patience nor the crayons to explain the concepts of space rocks.
And, I really enjoyed that, but, so we got...
Kazanir:
Fake Quote.
Toaster Jane:
No, entirely real.
Kazanir:
I actually was much longer and louder about would you like to ingest this hopium with me. And miners who slavishly follow an isk per hour metric that they hardly understand. Numerous other complaints. I am glad we are on the hopium train though, we've only been wrong every other time.
Ranger Gama:
So what color are the crayons? They all taste the same, man. It doesn't matter what color it is.
Toaster Jane:
No, the blue ones taste like blueberry. I know this from experience.
Ranger Gama:
Of course you would know that, Toaster.
Toaster Jane:
Dakota, you're wrong. Blue is best.
Yeah, so there's a pretty good dev blog. We know nothing other than they seem hopeful, which is a monkey's paw in itself, but we'll see what happens in March.
Kazanir:
What you all should be saying is, Oh my Christ, was this the guy that Kazanir talked up his previous video gaming history on last week's Fireside? And I will say, Yes.
Snipereagle1:
This is true.
Toaster Jane:
It is true. Didn't Dauntless close this week?
Kazanir:
Correct, yes. Dauntless closed this week. An actual sacrifice was made to the whelp gods pertaining to these matters.
Toaster Jane:
It's funny how shit works out. Yeah, their queen's got the list to the dev blog now.
https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/equinox-mining-balance-philosophy-and-learnings
I don't have anything else to Ron Burgandy-esque to read from, so if people have any questions, feel free.
Yes, there will be fuel.
Zintage Enaka:
On the fuel question, just to be clear. Dreads, you can get fuel in 0SHT. Supers, Titans, etc. Just wait until you come back to UALX, please.
Kazanir:
Elchris asked a question about the Tenerifis situation, by which he means certain diamond rats. We have top men on that problem. Top men.
Ranger Gama:
That was, Asher's doing alright guys. He's just taking the day off, and so he decided to throw Toaster under the bus. And, we were just anticipating how many times we should back up over him. I think we did enough for today. We'll see.
Toaster Jane:
Alkain knows what's up. Okay, any, let's get more questions going. A little dry this week.
Ranger Gama:
Ah, there it is. Yeah, I knew somebody'd say it. Well typed.
Toaster Jane:
Yeah, just pay attention to your pings Dash.
Ranger Gama:
Same one same thing for you Insane One. Just if you guys are in the groups, you will be getting pings on when to move stuff.
Toaster Jane:
Slushie, that is exactly what ZIntage said.
Astares, we actually do do that. It's pretty fun when Rodney gets called back. Oh, like, we got a, Elchris, and this is fun. And this is part of the hopium. So we actually need to see what they post in the dev blog, because I don't know if you remember way back when, when Equinox was first announced, and they said there were going to be this, all this nice, fancy UI, where we're going to be able to see mining up, or all the different upgrades in our SOV, and that there'd be, you know, a revitalized NullSec. So we gotta, we gotta see what they are first, before we actually put them in. So we'll, we'll wait until March before or later in March before we do any of that. Yeah. Mirage. Uh, I really cannot overstate how much effort goes into setting up all these upgrades in our space. It is a real pain in the ass and a few people put in many, many, many hours to actually get, like, I think is a pretty, like, about as good as we can get given the circumstances in our space. So big shout out to them.
Ranger Gama:
Yeah, this would be like the fourth time.
Toaster Jane:
Tariel, please, please expand on that. What do you mean by lick? Tongue? Oh, okay. Uh, I don't know.
Not at this time. Dawn, to remove stroms.
The best toast is toasted. It's actually sourdough, but that's fine.
Ranger Gama:
Toaster, you really are Ron Burgundy ing this. He means storm, dude.
Toaster Jane:
I'm just reading stroms, so I will answer the question.
The Keepstar will get a skin eventually. Uh, yeah, spi uh, spi uff. Like, there will be pings, man, don't worry.
Kazanir:
We are discussing the skin for the Keepstar at this very moment. Put your best ideas in the chat and I will do it. I was if no one comes I was gonna do Macragge Blue for some ultramarine action. Pink will not be used. I was threatened with bans. Someone more powerful than me and who would certainly win a wheel war threatened me over pink. Specifically, it's not happening.
Toaster Jane:
Not a fan of any bright colored ones that blind me when I undock.
Zintage Enaka:
No Barbie stars.
Ranger Gama:
No one can see it.
Kazanir:
Oh, I like that. I did not say I was an ultra smurf enjoyer. That is, that is offensive.
Toaster Jane:
Remember that fort mid when we were deployed to the north? And you'd undock and just get blinded because it was directly beside the sun for some reason?
Ranger Gama:
Yeah, that was fun.
Snipereagle1:
I don't know if you all remember, but a handful of years ago, when we were doing stuff in Impass before we lived down here and Red Alliance had a keepstar on the bright red sun in 68FT and you'd undock and it was like, you know, waking up in an oven. It was terrible.
Toaster Jane:
I don't know. I think the current name is pretty apt, to be honest. I hope we do not change it. I think it's just called Goon Keepstar last time I looked.
Kazanir:
It is A Goon Keepstar. Oh shit, A. Excuse me. Right. We're still debating the skin. There's some, there's some, there's a push for purple. Can we get away with purple? Can we pull that off? What highlight, what highlight color should I use?
Snipereagle1:
We had a purple one in 1DQ for a while. Remember? McManFist was like purple and teal. That looked nice.
Kazanir:
The deepest purple is galactic violet.
Snipereagle1:
Purple and gold is a classic combination too.
Kazanir:
I like gold. Semi.
Ranger Gama:
What a shock, the money grubber likes gold.
Toaster Jane:
I think we, we managed the bee skin before pretty good. I like purple.
Ranger Gama:
I have to admit, I like the purple and gold idea.
Toaster Jane:
Okay, well powers that be will definitely pick a color for the Keepstar that is hopefully purple. Does anybody have any other final questions in general? That is a long question or a long answer, Eric.
Snipereagle1:
I'll grab this one from CJ. Yeah, so for now we'll keep publishing the spreadsheet. In the ESI blog, they talked about adding a suite of endpoints later this year for SOV related management. Once we have that, we'll have something like a public upgrade map that's updated. Yeah, I know it sucks right now. Yeah, managing it in a bunch of different places is kinda AIDS, so we don't really want to do that. I will make sure to take away your Megacyte upgrade though, CJ.
Toaster Jane:
Danica. There is no number that is too many dread alts.
Zintage Enaka:
That's incorrect. It's when your computer stops functioning.
Toaster Jane:
No, you're logging out the other ones to keep jumping them in. Just log in half.
Snipereagle1:
Yeah, that just lets you reship easier. You just have your second wave of accounts ready to go.
Zintage Enaka:
Okay, okay, I see how this is. No, no, clearly they just need to get a second computer for the rest of their dread alts.
Toaster Jane:
Imenkis? You need to join Capswarm.
Yes, so the Ferox will continue to be used for Control Alt Delve.
You don't need to worry about that. We're just retiring it for stuff in our new space. Or just pings to main fleet, really. Okay, I think we're pretty good.
Hammerfleet. No. Is Hammerfleet FNI?
Snipereagle1:
Mallet Fleet is T1 Feroxes, which is going away. Hammer Fleet is Ferox Navies and T2 Support, which is not going anywhere.
Toaster Jane:
Yeah, those are awesome. Beer, we're going to be pinging those throughout the week. So don't worry, just pay attention to your pings. Yes, CAD will keep the normal Feroxes. You got it. Cool. Okay, well thanks everyone for coming to the Toaster Edition of the Fireside. There will be a more charismatic one hopefully next week.
And the do not worry, the ribbing will continue afterwards. See everyone.
