Angatalie – 2025-09-30 Monthly Report
Overview
Angatalie maintained a high level of risk for unescorted pilots during September, with an average Threat Level of 3.42 (Moderate-High). Activity was dominated by nimble, cloaking-capable solo hunters and small, coordinated duos focusing heavily on industrial, unescorted, and low-agility targets. Peak risk windows consistently clustered around 15:00–23:00 UTC (late afternoon through evening for European and North American prime time).
Noteworthy Activity & Actors
Most Noteworthy Killers (Max 8):
- Trevor Dalech (Astero): The most persistent threat, specializing in rapid cloaked ambushes against miners and their subsequent capsules. Highly effective as a solo hunter.
- arataks1s (Hound): An opportunistic stealth bomber pilot effective in hit-and-run strikes, particularly around 19:00 UTC.
- Alexis glavor (Vigilant): Engaged in coordinated ganks, typically providing heavy warp disruption and damage.
- Znuts Aurgnet (Proteus): Operated as the heavy damage component in coordinated gank attempts alongside Alexis glavor.
- REPO MANN (Vagabond): An aggressive solo hunter specializing in fast, high-damage engagements against smaller combat and transit ships.
- ZAGL777 (Jackdaw): An opportunist observed targeting industrial haulers during the early morning UTC hours.
Most Noteworthy Victims (Max 3):
- Saint Huck: Repeatedly targeted and killed in two different Venture industrial ships and his resulting Capsule by Trevor Dalech, highlighting the focused predation on industrial pilots.
- A pilot losing a Drake battlecruiser, showcasing the lethality of the coordinated small gangs (Alexis glavor & Znuts Aurgnet).
- Victims repeatedly losing Capsules following ship kills, indicating a consistent "double-tap" engagement strategy by aggressors.
Group Collaboration
The primary example of notable group collaboration was the effective duo composed of Alexis glavor (Vigilant) and Znuts Aurgnet (Proteus). This pairing demonstrated capability in defeating heavier targets, including Battlecruisers, signifying a potent combination of electronic warfare and heavy DPS.
Summary of the Month
September in Angatalie was characterized by aggressive, sustained hunting, predominantly targeting resource gatherers. The month began with observation of a lone stealth bomber (arataks1s) engaging in opportunistic strikes. This escalated rapidly with the emergence of Trevor Dalech, whose repeated attacks led to a High-Threat rating for solo industrialists. Kill activity spiked particularly on Mondays and Fridays in the UTC afternoon/evening. The latter half of the month saw the addition of small, coordinated gangs (Alexis glavor / Znuts Aurgnet) capable of handling larger combat vessels, broadening the threat profile beyond just miners. The recurring theme was the use of cloaked vessels (Astero, Hound) for ambush and the persistence of attackers in pursuing and podding victims following the initial ship kill.
Typical Ships Used in the System
- Killers: Astero (dominant), Hound (Stealth Bomber), Vagabond (HAC), Vigilant (Cruiser/E-War), Proteus (T3 Cruisers), and Jackdaw (T3 Destroyer).
- Victims: Venture (Primary target), Capsule, Manticore (Stealth Bomber), Ibis, Coercer (Destroyer), Drake (Battlecruiser), and Iteron Mark V (Industrial Hauler).
Trends
- Industrial Target Focus: Ventures were overwhelmingly the most frequently targeted and successfully killed ship class, often resulting in subsequent capsule kills.
- Cloaky Ambushes: The dominance of Astero and Hound pilots indicates a strong reliance on cloaking to initiate rapid, high-alpha, solo engagements.
- Peak Activity Windows: Danger clearly concentrates between 15:00 UTC and 23:00 UTC, particularly on weekdays, suggesting attackers exploit common player traffic times.
- Podding Persistence: Killers consistently pursue and destroy capsules, reinforcing the need for current medical clone placement outside of the Angatalie system.
Noteworthy Kills (Max 5)
- Venture Kill & Repeated Podding: Trevor Dalech (Astero) killing Saint Huck's Venture and then their Capsule in quick succession (2025-09-22, ~16:57 UTC), demonstrating targeted, relentless hunting.
- Drake Loss: The coordinated kill of a Drake Battlecruiser by Alexis glavor (Vigilant) and Znuts Aurgnet (Proteus) on 2025-09-26, proving the capacity of the small Angatalie gangs to defeat tanked mid-sized ships.
- Manticore Loss (Stealth Bomber): arataks1s (Hound) killing a Manticore (Stealth Bomber) on 2025-09-18, indicating high-risk engagements even between cov-ops ships.
- Iteron Mark V Loss: The destruction of an Iteron Mark V by ZAGL777 (Jackdaw), confirming significant risk to high-volume haulers.
- A second Venture Loss (Same target): Trevor Dalech killing Saint Huck's second Venture within minutes on 2025-09-22, illustrating the difficulty of emergency re-shipment in the system.
