The Meta Show S6 Ep29 - Horde Collapse hear it from former Horde Directors and Known Members

**SPEAKER_2** (0:05)
When it comes to Eve Online, every player wants to know the most effective tactic available. You want to know the meta. The meta controls everything. It determines what will and will not happen. Knowing the meta will alter your views, make you question your reality.
It might even make you laugh. And now, you're part of it. You're watching The Meta Show.

**Dave Archer** (1:05)
Hello, everybody. So this is a bit of a, like, chaotic meta show. A fight kicked off as we were getting ready for the show. So we switched what we were going to do to a break in new stream, except I'm not the one running the stream, and I have all the stuff already set up for that. Al Kane is running the stream. And as you can see, he's now getting that all set up. He just needs to move our cameras out of the way and the chat and we'll be good.
Yeah, Cain, get rid of mine and Keith's... Get rid of the name tags and get rid of the chat. And get rid of your Eve chat as well, so you're not showing the alliance chat. Hi, guys. So for those that, while Cain's getting that sorted, the initiative entered catch with a battleship fleet and the Imperium responded. Currently, we have on grid a Sigmaritwurm fleet, a Gunswarm Maelstrom fleet. I will get descans of what is on grid now, while Cain is sorting that out.

**Keith** (2:23)
What's this fight over, Dave? What's going on?

**Dave Archer** (2:26)
In it have been doing border skirmishes in to catch a lot of shooting jump bridges.
So I believe they are finding out. And thank you for the gift subs. Happy New Year, everyone.

**Keith** (2:41)
Happy New Year. Merry Christmas.

**Dave Archer** (2:44)
And then Cain, if you just make me and Keith smaller. And in the corners. And there we go. So I'm currently getting the descan.

**Keith** (3:02)
Have you got Abaddon's on field, Dave?

**Dave Archer** (3:04)
Yes, they do.

**Keith** (3:06)
Got Abaddon's versus, what did Sigma bring? Sigma form, right?

**Dave Archer** (3:09)
Sigma's got Ravens, and that fleet at the bottom is against one Maelstrom.

**Keith** (3:13)
Nice. I got, what do you got, the Leet there? It's nothing official, just a New Year's party fleet? Are you sure? It's past New Year's, it's January 3rd.
Yes, that's what it is. Also, by the way, Dave is talking about, we've gone live to kind of cover this fight here. With us today as well is we've got Young Puke, your CSM there, and then Alexander Blessed from Big Ab as well.

**Alexander Blessed** (3:43)
You can just call me Alex.

**Keith** (3:45)
Alex, thank you. Yeah, Alex from Big Ab joining us, and we will get into the show here. I'm sure in a little bit, Alex and Puke, don't be shy, you're welcome to comment on in its supposed New Year fleet.

**Young Puke** (3:59)
We're trying to figure out what was the first big thing that happened in January 2024 We didn't do our homework.

**Keith** (4:03)
I think it was Legion. It was Legion update. It was the big first update.

**Young Puke** (4:08)
Oh, Legion was June, dude.

**Keith** (4:10)
I think it was the first big update though. Kane, you have the list of updates there. Let me pull that. I know you linked them to me. There we go. I did not pull it up. Going back to updates as far as the game is concerned, we had one right at the end of 2024 I think the winner there.
Legion was May.

**Young Puke** (4:40)
I think it was Revenant major update.

**Keith** (4:44)
Yeah, Revenant was in March there. And then, yeah, so they were leading up Drifter Crisis, and then Revenant was probably the big, first big update here in 2025
But Dave, anything big going on there? Are they shooting the jump ridge or anything with this fight?

**Young Puke** (5:10)
I think he just left.

**Keith** (5:12)
Dave left, it's okay. Dave probably crashed. It's me, it's all by my... Why is the Inuit fleet there? You know, Oliver, I am told by Chap, from what I understand, the fleet is there just because it's a New Year's Fun fleet. It's a party fleet where they're shooting goons infrastructure. I don't know, I can't see the actual infrastructure there that they're shooting, if they're actually shooting a jump ridge. Kane, are they shooting a jump ridge there? And Dave's internet died, so this, like any other Meta Show.
Okay, they're on the Keep Star but grid. Apparently, they might be trying to just poke the Keep Star to hopefully get.
