Angatalie – 2025-10-20
EIN-Advisory — Angatalie: Elevated Predator Activity; Transit with Caution
Threat Level: 3.0 (Moderate–High). Low-sec system — expect opportunistic lone hunters and occasional professional hunter-killer teams.
Quick summary
- Recent week shows repeated lone pilots in fast attack/stealth boats (Hecate, Manticore) and rarer, but highly dangerous, coordinated strikes using T3 cruisers and Black Ops (Proteus, Tengu, Panther, Widow).
- Attacks occur across multiple days; highest concentration Thursday (UTC) evenings and early Friday mornings. Afternoon/evening windows (14:00–21:00 UTC) see increased activity.
- Static assets (MTUs) have been targeted — their destruction can precede nearby ship attacks.
Notable threat profiles (based on kill data)
- Zoquin Bates (Hecate): opportunistic lone predator targeting miners/industrials.
- Juicy Coochie (Manticore): cloaked bomber ambushes; high risk to stationary/slow ships.
- Evilelmo & associates (Panther, Widow, Proteus): coordinated hunter-killer team — engage only with overwhelming force.
- V1ctorovich (Tengu): targets structures; may escalate to ship engagements.
- Multiple unnamed attackers: rapid/anonymous kills of Heron/Capsule and Cheetah — indicates fast strikes or cloaked/instant extraction tactics.
Operational advisories (apply immediately)
- Avoid solo mining/exploration in Ventures, Herons, Cheetahs during peak hours. If you must operate, keep active warp readiness and limit stationary time.
- Travel in groups or with dedicated escorts when possible. Even a modest combat escort deters many lone predators.
- Maintain constant situational awareness: D‑scan sweep before undocking/approaching belts and during ops; monitor local for sudden drops.
- If you encounter multiple contacts, especially T3s or Black Ops hulls, disengage immediately — these formations can rapidly overwhelm single ships.
- Treat MTU loss as an indicator of active hunters in-system; consider suspending ops and relocating.
- Stealth boats (bombers/black ops) are active — avoid predictable routes and long align times; use safe spots and staggered undock timings.
Conclusion
Angatalie is not a safe transit area for unescorted or slow-signature ships. Adjust operations for shorter exposure windows, escort support, and heightened watch during Thursday evenings (UTC) and early Friday hours.
