Mormelot – 2025-10-14
EIN-Advisory: Elevated Hostile Activity in Mormelot — Exercise Caution, Especially Evenings
Summary
Mormelot is exhibiting an elevated threat profile (Analyst rating: 3.5/5). Frequent opportunistic ganks and several dedicated hunters operate in-system; pilot risk is significant, especially during late-afternoon and evening UTC hours. This is a low-sec environment — expect little to no systemic protection and rapid escalation.
Observed patterns (from recent killboard data)
- Peak danger window: 17:00–23:00 UTC, with spikes on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
- Secondary activity: 01:00–14:00 UTC—opportunists strike across the day.
- Several kills list no attacker: consistent with deliberate killmail suppression, smartbombing from off-grid positions, or attacker death before capsule recovery. Treat “empty” local as a red flag.
Top identified threats (profiles)
- Alexis glavor — Elite predator (4 kills, Svipul). Operates evenings (17:00–20:00 UTC). Avoid solo in exposed ships.
- Znuts Aurgnet — Coordinated ambusher (Hulk/Lachesis/Proteus mix). Works in small gangs; targets industrial/mining ships.
- Sick Artley — Heavy damage dealer (Vexor NI / Machariel). Appears in small-group escalations.
- Roime — Dedicated hunter (Proteus). Known to secure capsule kills.
- Jamal Enzo — Specialized ganker (Redeemer). Strikes off-peak for high-value targets.
- Unidentified aggressors — 5 kills with no attackers listed. Likely fast gankers or smartbomb setups; unpredictable.
Tactics to expect
- Small-group ambushes combining tackle (Lachesis), burst damage (Proteus, Machariel), and bait (Hulk or hauling ships).
- Solo predators in Svipul performing fast kill-and-run engagements.
- Killmail suppression and off-grid smartbombing to avoid attribution.
Practical guidance (rooted in observed behavior)
- Avoid Mormelot between 17:00–23:00 UTC when possible, especially Fridays–Saturdays.
- If you must enter, scout first with a cheap, fast alt or frigate; check gates and off-grid signatures before warping in larger ships.
- Never use autopilot in low-sec. Be ready to instant-warp off landing points. Pre-align an escape bookmark.
- Don’t haul/explore high-value assets during peak times. Assume you are being watched.
- Recognize threat ships (Svipul, Proteus, Lachesis, Machariel) and treat their presence as hostile intent.
- Consider using cheap lossmails or remote scouting alts to probe activity windows before committing main chars.
This advisory is based on recent killboard analysis and should be treated as time-sensitive. Remain vigilant and plan egress before committing to Mormelot operations.
