Tactical Recommendations (low-sec conscious)
- Avoid solo mining/hauling in Ventures or other light industrials, especially 18:00–20:00 UTC and ~03:00 UTC.
- Use warp-core stabilizers, align-time rigs, and modules that improve warp speed and escape potential on vulnerable ships.
- Travel with scouts or combat escorts for valuable cargo; vary routes and avoid predictable loitering at gates or belts.
- Assume gates may be camped; use d-scan, safe spots, and pre-warp checks before committing to a gate or belt.
- Monitor local and direct-channel activity; unfamiliar or known predator names entering local should trigger evasive action.
- If operating combat ships, expect coordinated opponents—do not engage without support or a clear extraction plan.
EIN Closing
Alachene is currently a high-payoff hunting ground for experienced pilots. Exercise caution, reduce solo exposure during peak windows, and prioritize survivability fits and escorts while operating in-system. Fly aware.
