Mya – 2025-10-20
Threat level: HIGH (Real_Thread average: 3.5) — Low‑sec Mya is an active hunting ground. Intelligence shows a small, skilled group repeatedly engaging miners, haulers and passive PvE pilots. Operate under the assumption any unknown pilot in local may be hostile.
Key observed behaviors
- Persistent activity across multiple days — this is a campaign, not random passing gangs.
- Targets: mining/industrial ships (Retriever, Covetor, Prospect, MTUs), lightly tanked PvE (Gila, Vexor Navy Issue, Astero).
- Coordination: multi‑pilot kills recorded (e.g., killId: 130497930, 130625129). Attacks can be rapid and lethal.
- Peak hunting window: UTC afternoons/evenings (~13:00–21:00 UTC) with occasional morning strikes (~08:00 UTC).
Named high‑priority threads (observed)
- Boruet Annages — Real_Thread 4.5 — Orthrus / Nergal / Ikitursa / Curse. Primary hunter; extreme threat.
- Ronen Uitra — Real_Thread 4.0 — Loki. Efficient killer of industrials and follow‑up looters.
- Dejan Estemaire — Real_Thread 4.0 — Ikitursa. Frequently coordinates with Boruet.
- Simon Aurio — Real_Thread 3.5 — Astero. Effective at short‑range/stealth approaches.
- php3ch0 Isu — Real_Thread 3.0 — Loki. Support attacker in coordinated strikes.
- Unidentified solo aggressors — Real_Thread ~2.5–3.0. Opportunists also present.
Tactical recommendations (rooted in observed data)
- Do NOT AFK in belts, anomalies, or while MTUs are deployed. MTUs have been destroyed.
- Avoid high‑value/vulnerable ships in Mya: Retriever, Covetor, Prospect, MTU, Gila, VNI, Astero. If you must operate, do so in numbers.
- Fly scouts/peg‑legs: a cloaky scout or scout alt dramatically reduces ambush risk.
- Maintain situational awareness: monitor local, use D‑scan frequently, keep an escape align vector, and have a bookmarked safe spot.
- Fit to survive or escape: tank and mobility matter. Expect coordinated alpha—don’t assume moderate tanking is sufficient.
- Hauling/MTUs: schedule outside peak hours (if possible) and avoid leaving MTUs unattended. Consider smaller, more frequent trips or armed escorts.
- PvP‑aware options: cloaky or fast interception hulls, or bringing a tackle/point capable wing when operating in known hot spots.
- Travel caution: avoid predictable routes and undocked downtime during 13:00–21:00 UTC unless escorted.
Summary
Mya is actively hunted by a small, capable group with proven coordination and a preference for soft targets. Exercise extreme caution, adjust ops to avoid AFK exposure, and favor scouts/escorts, improved fittings, and safer timing.
