Elarel – 2025-10-15
EIN-Advisory: Elarel — Elevated Threat (Low‑Sec) — Avoid Mining & Exploration
Summary
- Overall threat: Elevated (3.5 / 5.0). Low‑sec system with sustained, organized hunting activity.
- Primary danger: Dedicated capsuleer hunters targeting soft targets (mining/industrial/exploration ships). Expect pod losses if caught.
Immediate Threat Picture
- Active hunter presence is persistent — avoid complacency.
- High‑value soft targets: Venture, Retriever, Astero, Heron, Imicus, Nereus, Mobile Tractor Units, and lone capsules. These have a very high kill probability (some profiled threats rated 5.0).
- Time windows (UTC):
- High Alert — daily 14:00–18:00 and 02:00–08:00: threat-level 4.5–5.0 (near-certain death for soft targets).
- Moderate Alert — 22:00–00:00 and 12:00–14:00: threat-level ~3.5.
- Lower (not safe) — 18:00–22:00: threat-level ~2.5.
- Activity is sustained across days (Wed–Mon) with no meaningful safe day.
Top Profiles to Avoid
- Cailin Dioltas — Loki — Thread‑Level 5.0. Highly active 02:00–08:00 & 14:00–18:00. Primary predator of miners/industrials.
- Aladar Krahn — Tholos / Tengu — Thread‑Level 4.5. Peak Thursday afternoons (14:00–18:00).
- Peter Powers — Legion / Magus — Thread‑Level 4.0. Active Fri morning and Sat midday (10:00–14:00 / 12:00–14:00).
- Serqet Daphiti — Abaddon — Thread‑Level 3.5. Noted evenings; high DPS against small/slow targets.
- Vipy Styx — Ikitursa / Loki — Thread‑Level 3.0. Intermittent evening activity; capable and stealthy.
- L1nus Pauling — Stratios — Thread‑Level 2.5. Cloaky scout behavior; dangerous to barges.
Actionable Recommendations (based on current intel)
- Avoid mining and exploration in Elarel until threat subsides. The risk/reward is currently unfavorable.
- If transiting, prefer fast, evasive ships or strong tank fits. Prioritize warp agility and range over yield.
- Fit warp core stabilizers where practical; include modules for quicker escape (e.g., AB/Afterburner or microwarp if appropriate).
- Maintain tight situational awareness: D‑scan, directional scan and local should be checked constantly; be prepared to warp out at first sign of contacts.
- Use cheap alts or low‑value ships to scout gates and belts before committing primary assets.
- Fly in numbers where possible — small groups reduce solo kill probability.
- Assume capsule loss: plan clones, insurance (where applicable), and don’t risk irreplaceable items.
Closing
Elarel is currently an active low‑sec hunting ground with organized, repeat offenders. Avoid predictable behavior (slow mining ops, single‑ship scouts) and schedule transits outside the high‑risk windows when possible. Stay cautious.
