Groothese – 2025-09-30
EIN-Advisory — Groothese: Significant Danger (Threat 3.5)
Summary
- Groothese is currently rated Significant Danger (3.5). Recent killmail patterns show active, skilled hunters operating powerful solo platforms (T3 cruisers) and agile faction frigates in coordinated pairs. Transit with valuables or vulnerable hulls is high-risk.
Primary threats (from local killmails)
- Hunter Dredd — Loki (T3 Cruiser). Highly dangerous; active mid-week daytime (UTC 13:00–17:00). Targets small, fast ships and industrials.
- Aladar Krahn — Garmur and occasional Manticore support. Dangerous; active weekend early-morning (UTC 01:00–04:00). Capable of cloaked/ambush tactics.
- Cailin Dioltas — Loki. Dangerous; targets industrials (Tayra) during weekend early-morning.
- Kayla Starchild — Tengu. Team player; pairs with Garmur operators for coordinated kills (weekend early-morning).
- Cadhla Dioltas — Garmur. Team player; finishes off MTUs and supports cruiser kills.
- Occasional unidentified pilots — opportunistic backups; can tip engagements.
Temporal risk windows (UTC)
- Mid-week daytime: Tuesdays & Wednesdays 13:00–17:00 (notably Hunter Dredd).
- Weekend / early-morning spikes: Saturdays and Tuesdays 01:00–04:00 (multiple actors).
- General elevated activity: 01:00–04:00 across multiple days.
Actionable advisories (Low‑sec context)
- Avoid transits during the listed windows whenever possible.
- If unavoidable:
- Use cloaked or covert-capable ships for scouting/hauling where feasible.
- Fly fast‑align hulls, warp to 100 km and approach only when clear.
- Maintain frequent D‑scan cycles and orbit/align to safes or gates.
- Prefer multiple small, expendable runs over single large hauls; consider contract/alt routing.
- Use expendable scouts or a cloaked scout alt to check gate and pipe activity.
- Treat suspected coordinated sets (Loki/Tengu + Garmur/Manticore) as multi-ship ambushes — disengage early.
Final note
Groothese presently favors proactive hunters employing burst damage and tackle. Prioritize avoidance or rigorous evasive preparation rather than relying on chance. Stay aligned, scan often, and expect coordinated behavior during the peak windows.
