Angatalie – 2025-10-18
Date: 2025-10-18
Executive Summary
Angatalie displays a low-to-medium threat environment driven by opportunistic solo gankers and at least one coordinated cloaked gang. Activity spikes in the UTC evening window; miners and lightly tanked sub-capitals are primary victims. Operators in low‑sec should assume risk of cloaked ambushes near gates, stations, and mining anomalies.
Key patterns (from observed kills)
- Frequency: 6 kills over 5 days (double kill on 2025-10-17).
- Peak window: 19:00–22:00 UTC (4 of 6 kills).
- Other activity: isolated kills at 04:00–05:00 UTC and 14:00–15:00 UTC.
- Late‑week concentration (Wed–Fri) notable but sample size small.
Tactical Warnings (rooted in the data)
- Mining is high‑risk: Ventures were repeatedly targeted. Consider an alt scout or shifting operations off-peak.
- Cloaked ambush threat: Presence of Panther + Widow + Manticore indicates use of stealth, covert ops, and alpha‑strike tactics. Avoid prolonged stationary activity in belts/anomalies.
- Even combat cruisers are vulnerable: A Caracal was taken down by a coordinated gang — don’t assume combat fits guarantee safety.
- Pod vulnerability: A Heron and its capsule were popped rapidly; pod loss is a real risk in Angatalie.
Top observed threats (ranked by estimated "real_threat")
-
Evilelmo / Sick Artley / Znuts Aurgnet — Coordinated gang (Panther, Widow, Proteus) — real_threat 4.5
- Highly dangerous; cloaked, fast interdiction and likely cyno/jump capability. Industrial/sub‑capitals at high risk.
-
Juicy Coochie — Manticore (stealth bomber) — real_threat 3.5
- Solo cloaked ambusher; high alpha vs miners/haulers.
-
V1ctorovich — Tengu (strategic cruiser) — real_threat 3.0
- Versatile, skilled solo pilot; dangerous to solo sub‑capitals.
-
Zoquin Bates — Hecate (attack frigate) — real_threat 2.0
- Fast, lethal vs Ventures and other small industrials.
-
Unknown attacker(s) (victim: Yuri Alekseevich) — Heron + capsule popped — real_threat 2.0–4.0
- Unknown composition; pod kill indicates intent/skill.
-
Opportunistic solo gankers (pattern class) — real_threat 2.0–3.5
- Several single‑pilot incidents suggest ongoing opportunism beyond named actors.
Practical guidance (actionable)
- Avoid belt/anomaly mining solo during 19:00–22:00 UTC.
- Fit warp core stabs on miners/haulers where feasible; align-to-bookmark and have instant warp plan.
- Use escorts or fleet up for valuable toons/valuable cargo.
- Keep pod escape options and be prepared for instant warp/recall — pod kills are recorded here.
Closing comment
Angatalie is not a safe low‑sec backwater. Predators operate both solo and in coordinated cloaked teams. Exercise heightened caution during the identified UTC evening window and treat industrial operations as high‑risk.
