Top Threat Profiles (real_thread)
-
"The Lone Hunter: Astero Specialist" — real_thread 4.0
- Cloaked/light-interdictor ambushes vs industrials (Venture). High lethality for unescorted miners.
-
"The Lone Hunter: Orthrus" — real_thread 4.5
- Fast missile cruiser capable of killing medium combat cruisers (Vexor Navy Issue). Very dangerous for solo PvE/PvP cruisers.
-
"The Mobile Asset Destroyer: Ishkur" — real_thread 3.0
- Targets unpiloted/deployed assets (Mobile Tractor Unit). Guaranteed loss for unsecured structures.
-
"The Unseen/Unidentified Predator" — real_thread 3.5
- Multiple killmails lack attacker data. Represents unpredictable, hard-to-profile threats that evade traces.
-
"Tactical Destroyer Hunter" — real_thread 3.8
- Proven ability to take down agile, high-value small ships (Svipul). Threat to solo small-ship pilots.
-
"Battlecruiser Ambush Predator" — real_thread 4.2
- Capable of overcoming battlecruisers (Talos). Indicates either coordinated small gangs or high-skill solo tactics.
Operational Advice (for Low-Sec transit/operations)
- Avoid solo operations in valuable or non-combat ships. If you must, accept higher risk or limit exposure time.
- Fit for survival: on industrials prioritize warp-core stability and basics of tank; on combat hulls consider exit-speed and disengage modules.
- Maintain constant situational awareness: monitor Local and D-scan; be ready to warp off immediately.
- Vary routes and schedules; don’t linger on gates, belts, or near unattended deployables.
- Secure deployables: do not leave Mobile Tractor Units or structures unattended in Gerper.
Closing: Threats in Gerper are opportunistic and skilled. Expect continued weekday primetime pressure; treat unescorted activity and unsecured assets as high risk.
