EIN-Advisory — Angatalie: Miners & Unpiloted Ships at Elevated Risk (Low‑sec)
Overview
Angatalie shows a moderate–high threat profile. Recent killmails reveal a pattern of opportunistic predators, with a clear focus on mining and industrial targets and a handful of unexplained ship losses. Expect increased danger during late‑afternoon and evening UTC.
Immediate Threats (from recent intel)
- Trevor Dalech (Astero): repeated, successful attacks on a Venture. High threat to solo miners.
- REPO MANN (Vagabond): effective solo Vagabond ambushes in mid‑afternoon UTC.
- Alexis glavor (Vigilant) & Znuts Aurgnet (Proteus): coordinated late‑evening small gang; high DPS and difficulty escaping.
- ZAGL777 (Jackdaw): opportunist killing industrials during early‑morning UTC.
- Unexplained losses (Astero, Manticore): no attackers listed — consistent with smartbomb/bump camps, environmental hazards, or unmanaged/unpiloted ship losses.
Key Times of Activity
- Peak threat window: 15:00–22:00 UTC (consistent predator activity).
- Secondary/sparse threat: 04:00–06:00 UTC.
- Assume risk at all hours — roamers are present across the day.
Tactical Recommendations (rooted in observed patterns)
- Miners: avoid solo Ventures in-system. Mine in wings or with dedicated escorts/scouts. Consider more tanked barges or fleet mining where possible.
- Scouts & awareness: keep constant d‑scan discipline; watch for combat probe signatures (probing Astero activity). Use a scout or cloaked recon to check gates and belts before committing.
- Insta‑warp / fast‑align: transit and vulnerable ships should be fit to warp off quickly (fast align / minimal tackle exposure).
- Never leave ships unpiloted or logged off in exposed positions; unexplained losses imply smartbomb/bump or similar tactics.
- Haulers/industrials: move with an escort or shift timings away from 15:00–22:00 UTC if possible.
- If engaged: expect rapid, aggressive bites from solo tactical ships and small gangs — plan escape vectors and bookmarks in advance.
Bottom line
Angatalie is an active low‑sec hunting ground. Miners and unattended ships are primary targets. Operate with scouts/escorts, prioritise fast‑warp fits, and avoid peak hours when practical. Stay alert to both direct attackers and environmental/griefing hazards.
