Mannar – 2025-10-03
Date: 2025-10-04
Executive summary
Mannar (Low‑sec, Everyshore) currently registers a Moderate threat (2.5/5). Activity is primarily opportunistic PvP from single pilots and small hunter-killer setups rather than coordinated fleet warfare. Peak risk window: 00:00–03:30 UTC (two of four recorded kills). Secondary activity around 18:00–19:00 UTC. Uncloaked industrials, explorers, and slow/high‑signature ships are most vulnerable.
Primary identified aggressors
-
V1ctorovich — Loki — Threat 4.5/5 (Lethal Hunter)
Tactics: cloaking, interdiction, strong DPS/tank. Avoid being forced to a stop or bubbled on gates/sites; the Loki can solo most subcapitals if allowed to control engagement.
Defensive note: warp core stabs do not save you from interdiction bubbles; favor pre‑alignment, instant warp commands, and keeping range/options to escape. -
Torrent Talon — Drekavac — Threat 4.0/5 (Heavy Brawler)
Tactics: sustained, escalating Entropic damage once spooled. Dangerous in protracted fights; will outlast or break unprepared targets.
Defensive note: do not attempt to brawl a spooled Drekavac without clear advantage — prioritize disengage or heavy burst tactics to prevent spool. -
Aladar Krahn — Garmur — Threat 3.5/5 (Agile Nuisance)
Tactics: high speed, tackle, hit‑and‑run. Effective at holding slower ships on grid to bleed or allow reinforcements to arrive.
Defensive note: speed and range control are critical; small fast ships can neutralize this threat, larger slow ships should avoid solo exposure.
Recommended actions (Low‑sec best practices)
- Assume hostile presence in Mannar, especially 00:00–03:30 UTC and 18:00–19:00 UTC. Check local and D‑scan on system entry and periodically while operating.
- Ship selection: use fast, high‑EHP, or cloaked platforms for valuable moves. Avoid exposed industrial fits and uncloaked explorers during peak windows.
- Fitting/prep: fit warp core stabilizers where appropriate for haulers; carry emergency bookmarks (safe spots, align‑points); pre‑align before completing actions.
- Engagement policy: if you can warp, prioritize immediate exit. In combat, target tacklers first (Garmur‑class) and avoid extended brawls with Drekavac/Loki without numbers or superior tech.
- Route/site discipline: avoid loitering on gates and known site choke points at peak hours; limit time on grid.
This advisory is drawn from available kill data for Mannar and represents current patterns. Pilot behavior can shift; treat Mannar as a persistent low‑sec risk and plan operations accordingly.
