Elarel – 2025-09-21
EIN-Advisory — Elarel: High Threat Activity (2025-09-14 → 09-21)
Summary
- Elarel (Low‑sec) recorded sustained, elevated hostile activity across the week. Multiple active pilots and teams employ cloaky/stealth, E-war and heavy-hitting ships. Capsule kills are common — engagements are often decisive. Overall threat: HIGH. Treat the system as dangerous at all times, especially during identified peaks.
Peak Activity Windows (UTC)
- 15:00–22:00 — most consistent and dangerous window
- 00:00–01:00 — noticeable late‑night spike
- 09:00–10:00 — occasional mid‑morning activity
Concord/Response
- Low‑security system: no CONCORD rescue. Expect no external intervention beyond your fleet.
Notable Hostile Threads (observed behavior)
- Dejan Estemaire — Vexor Navy Issue / Cynabal / Stabber FI. Versatile heavy‑dps and agile brawler. Active 19:00–21:30. Targets both industrial and combat ships.
- Cailin Dioltas — Loki / Maulus Navy Issue. Cloaky/stealth strike profile; active around 00:00, ~09:30 and evenings. Prefers hit‑and‑run on industrials and small ships; finishes capsules.
- Peter Powers — Tengu / Cenotaph. Strategic cruiser pilot; targets high‑value and mixed fleets during 16:30–20:30.
- Amanda Morgan & Vicky Shadow — Coordinated Loki pair. Mid‑afternoon → evening ambushes; capable of overwhelming subcapitals with coordination.
- DimanLin — Tempest battleship. Short, high‑alpha brawler during late afternoons; dangerous alone but vulnerable to gangs.
- Opportunistic/Unidentified solo threats — Multiple unlogged attackers removed stealth bombers and small ships at varied times; indicates stealthy or episodic hunters.
Tactics Observed
- Cloaky/Loki ambushes, E‑war support, small‑gang coordination, battleship brawling, opportunistic solo ganking. Persistent capsule targeting after ship kills.
Operational Advice
- Avoid transit or unescorted ops during peak windows if flying industrials, frigates, or other vulnerable hulls.
- Always D‑scan and bookmark safe spots. Assume cloaks are present.
- Fleet when possible — even a small wing greatly improves survival.
- Pre‑scout gates/stations with an alt or escort before moving main ship.
- Fit for survival: tank, extra warp core stabilizers for haulers, and E‑war resistance where applicable.
- Use E‑war/screens: Maulus/Kitsune/PODS that can disrupt incoming tacklers work well for escape or attrition.
- Manage implants / jump clones — capsule loss is a realistic outcome; have a jump clone ready and remove sensitive implants if you expect dangerous ops.
Conclusion
Elarel remains a high‑risk low‑sec system with known, capable pilots and coordinated teams operating regularly. Exercise heightened caution, favor prepared fleets and secure fitting/safety practices while operating in or transiting the system.
