Tactical advice (rooted in current intel)
- Avoid Elarel during peak windows (17:00–00:00 UTC; especially Mon/Fri/Sat evenings) where possible.
- NEVER AFK in-system. Expect instant escalation on visual/contact.
- Fly only what you can afford to lose for industrial/logistics ops. Use cheap replaceable hulls.
- Fit escape options (Micro Warp Drive, Warp Core Stabilizer, align optimally).
- Travel in combat-capable groups if you must operate there; lone non-combat ships are high-risk.
- Do not engage named threats unless you hold a clear, decisive tactical and ship-class advantage.
