Top aggressor profiles & immediate cautions
- Ironman journey (Algos) — Real_Thread 2.5/5
- Drone boat targeting miners and solo vulnerables. Mining operations should not be solo or unescorted.
- Cadhla Dioltas (Tholos) — Real_Thread 4.5/5
- High‑risk hunter. Expect interdiction/warp‑jamming and heavy damage. Do not engage solo; confirm fittings/backup before confrontation.
- Dejan Estemaire (Gnosis) — Real_Thread 3.0/5
- Opportunistic industrial hunter. Transport pilots: align and warp quickly; minimize system time.
- Gertrud ToD (Khizriel) — Real_Thread 5.0/5
- Specialist in capsule kills. If your ship is lost, treat capsule as immediate target — warp out instantly; lingering is deadly.
- Unidentified aggressor (Hawk loss) — Real_Thread 2.0/5
- Possible stealth or environmental cause. Maintain situational awareness in belts/complexes.
Actionable recommendations (rooted in analyst data)
- Avoid system during the listed high‑activity windows when possible.
- Do not run solo mining or hauling ops without escort or scout.
- Fit survival gear: warp core stabilizers on industrials; mobility modules on combat hulls.
- Prepare emergency warp bookmarks (instant‑warp) and memorize safe‑point routines.
- If your ship is destroyed, warp your pod immediately — do not loot or linger.
- Fly in groups when practical; numbers deter lone hunters.
- Scout with an alt, check local chat and recent killboard activity before committing to risky ops.
- Before engaging a hostile, confirm ship type and threat profile — especially avoid solo fights vs Tholos and Khizriel pilots.
Bottom line
Groothese is low‑sec with a consistent mix of opportunists and high‑skill hunters. The system’s pattern shows both asset and pod risk — treat capsule survival as a primary priority and avoid known windows of activity unless fully prepared.
