Elarel – 2025-09-27
EIN-Advisory: Elevated PvP Threat — Elarel (Everyshore)
Classification: Moderate‑High Threat — System Threat Level 3.5/5.0
Date: [Current Date] — Low‑sec caution advised for all operations
Summary
- Elarel shows persistent, organized PvP activity with a mix of solo hunters and small gangs. Expect gate camps, belt interdictions and active probe scanning. Peak danger window is 10:00–18:00 UTC, with weekends (afternoons/early evenings UTC) especially hazardous. Miners, industrial haulers and their pods are frequent victims; larger combat ships have also been engaged.
Tactics observed
- Small gang ambushes and solo interdictions using fast, cloaky or high‑mobility platforms.
- Frequent capsule kills—attackers pursue and finish pods.
- Attacks clustered at gates and in asteroid belts; occasional probe scanning in-system ahead of engagements.
Top identified threats (operational notes)
- Cailin Dioltas — Loki (real_thread 4.8/5). Highly active solo hunter. Avoid unescorted mining/industrial ships.
- Amanda Morgan — Loki (4.5/5). Gang operator; encountering them likely means multiple hostiles.
- Vicky Shadow — Loki (4.0/5). Frequent partner to Amanda; assume coordinated gang presence.
- Vipy Styx — Machariel/Barghest (3.8/5). Heavy damage dealer in gang compositions.
- DimanLin — Tempest (3.5/5). Aggressive solo and small‑gang hunter; dangerous to smaller targets.
- Michel Ferran — Proteus (3.0/5). Capable solo interdictor against industrial targets.
Operational guidance (rooted in observed behavior)
- Avoid solo mining or hauling in high‑value, slow ships during 10:00–18:00 UTC and weekend afternoons (UTC). If you must operate then, use escorts or travel small convoys.
- Scout first: send a cloaky/fast recon frigate to check gates, belts and POS/station approaches before committing assets. Expect probe scanning — keep safe distance if you detect scanning activity.
- Maintain warp alignment, pre‑burn to warp bookmarks, and keep an escape plan (eject vector, local safe spots). Don’t risk pod recovery when engaged—pod kills are common.
- Consider cloaked ships or fast‑warp frigates for reconnaissance and hauling split cargo into smaller runs rather than one large Iteron Mark V.
- If engaged: expect coordinated follow‑ups. Prioritize survival — align offgrid, activate prop mods, and call for backup if available.
Bottom line
Treat Elarel as a high‑risk low‑sec transit and staging point. Plan operations around off‑peak hours, use scouts and escorts, and assume attackers will pursue pods and slow/valuable ships relentlessly. Stay cautious.
