EIN-Advisory — Mya (Low-Sec): Elevated Predation, Drifter Presence, and Capital Drop Risk (30 Oct – 5 Nov 2025)
Summary
- Between 30 Oct and 5 Nov 2025, 21 hostile actions were recorded in Mya. The system is an active low-security nexus with frequent industrial traffic and repeated predation. Threats range from solo stealth gankers to coordinated capital-capable engagements and confirmed Drifter battleship activity.
- Overall system threat: 3.5 / 5.0 — elevated and heterogeneous. Treat Mya as hazardous for unescorted industry and for high-value combat vessels.
Key Observations
- Primary victim profile: industrial and non-combat ships (Viator, Tayra, Nereus, Retriever, Venture, MTU) and corvettes/shuttles (Imicus, Velator) — 10 of 21 losses.
- Notable high-end events:
- 31 Oct 04:52 UTC — Coordinated fleet action killed a Praxis. Attacking force included a Redeemer (Black Ops), Nidhoggur (Carrier) and a Loki (Strategic Cruiser). (Attacking organizations were not identified in the available data.)
- 1 Nov 20:49 UTC — Two Drifter Battleships destroyed a player Loki, confirming active Drifter presence in-system.
- Recurrent individual predators: “Ronen Uitra” (Loki) and “Nhimyk” (Nemesis / Tornado) account for multiple ganks; activity concentrated in early-morning UTC and European primetime.
Temporal Patterns (UTC)
- Early morning spikes (≈ 04:00–06:00): concentrated solo/serial ganking (notably 1 Nov).
- European primetime (≈ 14:00–22:00): sustained predator activity, including complex engagements (31 Oct, 1 Nov, 5 Nov).
- Morning revenge/assault window (≈ 08:00–10:00): rapid capsule kills observed (4 Nov).
Top Threat Actors & Signatures
- Ronen Uitra — Loki (Strategic Cruiser). Multiple solo ganks across ship classes; flexible hunter. Threat: 3.5/5.
- Nhimyk — Stealth bomber / Tornado. High-alpha stealth attacks and sustained harassment. Threat: 3.0/5.
- Coordinated capital/Black Ops drop — Redeemer + Nidhoggur + Loki. Demonstrated capacity for billion-ISK operations and rapid force projection. Threat: 4.5/5 (critical).
- Drifter Battleships (NPC) — instantaneous lethal threat where present. Threat: 5.0/5.
Immediate Warnings (Actionable)
- Hauling & Industry: Do not transit Mya alone in un-fitted haulers or with exposed MTUs. Assume gate warp disruption/gate camps are possible during high activity windows.
- Capitals & High-Value Ships: Any deployed battleship/cruiser should consider the risk of Black Ops/capital drops. Avoid solo operations in high-value combat hulls without recon and fleet support.
- Drifter Encounters: Presence of Drifters is confirmed — on contact, warp out immediately. Avoid unknown cosmic signatures/anomalies unless in a prepared combat group.
- Capsule Safety: Capsule kills peaked in specific revenge windows; pilots frequently targeting pods are active. Use caution when recovering from a loss.
Mitigation Recommendations (Based on observed behavior)
- Avoid predictable transit times: postpone non-essential hauling/mining through Mya during early-morning UTC (04:00–06:00) and 14:00–22:00 UTC windows where attacks clustered.
- Escort and convoy: Move high-value cargo with an escort (combat cruiser or interceptor) or as part of a small fleet. Lone industrials are primary targets.
- Fit for escape and signature reduction:
- For haulers: maximize align/acceleration (MSE rigs / overviews), consider a Warp Core Stabilizer on ships you cannot otherwise secure.
- For miners/MTUs: avoid leaving MTUs unattended and operate with defensive screens. Pack critical items into a small fast ship when possible.
- Use scouts and local checks: Probe local activity before committing. If you detect active strategic cruisers, stealth bombers, or multiple combat hulls on local, consider withdrawing.
- Avoid anomalies without force: Because Drifters were observed, do not engage unknown high-level anomalies alone. Drifters can engage and destroy combat ships unexpectedly.
- High-value combat ops: If you must bring high-value battleships into Mya, ensure fleet-level counter-cyno readiness and deny easy cyno/black-ops access (scouts, gate checks, cyno suppression if available).
Closing
Mya has shifted from opportunistic gank ground to a contested low-sec bottleneck capable of supporting both lone predators and organized capital-capable operations, plus confirmed Drifter risk. Adjust routing, timing, and fleet composition accordingly until the environment stabilizes.
