Angatalie – 2025-10-21
Date: 2025-10-19 (based on latest field assessment)
Summary
Observed activity in Angatalie has coalesced into a mixed pattern of solo hunters and small coordinated gangs. Industrial and exploration hulls (Venture, Mobile Tractor Unit, Heron, Cheetah) are the most frequently taken victims, though combat-fit ships have been successfully engaged by a small, well-equipped gang. Treat the system as high-risk during the noted windows and assume cloaked/interdiction tactics are in use.
Observed High-Risk Windows (UTC)
- Wednesday afternoon (14:00–15:00) — lone cloaked/stealth bomber strike (Thread ~3.5)
- Thursday evening (19:00–20:00) — opportunistic solo hunters (Thread ~3.0)
- Friday evening (21:00–22:00) — DANGER ZONE: coordinated gank (Panther/Widow/Proteus) and unexplained unregistered kills (Thread ~4.5)
- Friday late night / early morning (02:00–03:00) — MTU targeted by Tengu (Thread ~3.0)
- Saturday evening (19:00–20:00) — cloaked/ambush activity against explorers (Thread ~3.0)
Profiled Threats (high-level)
- Evilelmo’s Syndicate — coordinated Black Ops + bomber + T3C gang; capable of taking combat ships (highest danger).
- Unobserved/cloaked attackers — unexplained kills with no listed attackers; hard to detect and unpredictable.
- Solo cloaked/stealth pilots (Manticore, Cheetah, Hecate, Tengu) — hunting industrials, explorers, and deployed assets.
Tactical Guidance (Low-Sec operational posture)
- Avoid solo industrial/explorer ops in Angatalie during the high-risk windows above.
- Never AFK in-system. Keep ships aligned to a fast warp point and remain warp-ready at all times.
- Do not idly orbit or loiter at belts, anomalies, or gates; minimize session timers and exposure.
- When deploying MTUs, salvage, or left-frame assets: do so with a combat escort or schedule outside peak hours.
- Use instant-warp align, pre-set safespots, and keep probes/D-scan active. Expect cloaked hunters — approach anomalies and gates with extra caution.
- Combat-fit escorts should be prepared for tackle + heavy alpha strikes (Panther/Widow combos). Consider layered tackle and EW measures.
Final Note
Angatalie is actively hunted. Exercise high vigilance, especially Friday evenings UTC. If operating in-system, plan exits and contingencies before committing to vulnerable activities.
