Angatalie – 2025-11-14
EIN-Advisory: Angatalie — Elevated Predatory Activity (Low‑Sec)
Analyst source: Angatalie Threat Assessment (2025‑11‑13)
Executive Notice
Angatalie is experiencing moderate-to-high predatory activity. Predators operate as both coordinated small gangs (Tengu + dedicated E‑war/Thorax/Retribution elements) and dangerous solo pilots (notably an Ikitursa operator). Activity concentrates between 00:00 UTC and 11:00 UTC with Monday and Wednesday showing repeated incidents. Overall Thread Level: 3.5 / 5.0 (Significant Danger).
Immediate Threats (named)
- Anatoli Sokolow — Ikitursa (Triglavian HAC): High‑risk solitary predator. Treat any one‑on‑one as potentially fatal unless you bring overwhelming force and specialized counter‑Triglavian tactics.
- Blackwood / BlackMine group — Thorax, Retribution + dedicated Warp Scrambler: Coordinated small gang tactics, disciplined tackle and DPS. Responsible for multiple kills.
Other capable pilots observed: Zonis Thellere (Tengu), Fewederia Agnon (Vexor Navy Issue), Konn X (Astero — covert/scout/tackle).
Temporal Pattern Warning
- Peak danger window: 00:00 — 11:00 UTC (highest concentration of attacks).
- Monday and Wednesday show repeat attacks; Thursday presents additional late‑morning activity.
- Threats are lower in prime European/US evening UTC hours — plan vulnerable operations outside the peak window when possible.
Targets at Greatest Risk
- Miners: Covetor was ganked by a Tengu/Astero gang. Miners are actively hunted.
- Advisory: Miners should operate at Thread Level 5.0 during 00:00–11:00 UTC (i.e., cease solo mining, avoid Covetors during peak).
- Small missile or light ship pilots (Hawk, Caracal): Repeat targeting of the same pilot indicates predators focus on predictable targets/routes.
Recommended Defensive Measures (actionable)
- Avoid the peak window (00:00–11:00 UTC) for solo travel, mining or running predictable routes. If unavoidable, assume full threat posture.
- Travel in coherent groups: even 2–3 escorts materially increase survival against small gangs and solo HACs.
- Miners:
- Prefer tankier industrial hulls and/or fleet mining with an armored escort (avoid unescorted Covetors during peak).
- Use safe bookmarks and keep clear, short warp distances between safe spots and belts.
- Scouts & Recon:
- Use covert or scouting assets to confirm gates/celestials before committing vulnerable ships into a field during peak times.
- Ship selection & fitting guidance (general):
- Avoid predictable single‑ship fits. Bring point/web or heavier tackle support if you intend to engage; bring extra reps or buffer if holding a field.
- If forced to transit solo, favor range control/kiting fits or cloakable platforms rather than slow, close‑range hulls.
- Engagement policy vs named threats:
- Do not engage Anatoli Sokolow (Ikitursa) solo. Only consider offensive action with overwhelming numbers and explicit counter‑Triglavian capability.
- Treat Blackwood/BlackMine gang tactics as disciplined: expect dedicated E‑war and point. Prioritize breaking tackle and isolating enemy tacklers before committing DPS.
Operational Cautions (Low‑Sec specifics)
- Expect dedicated tackle (Warp Scrambler/Point) from gangs — warp core stabilizers will not protect from scram; plan to break tackle or bring counter‑tackle.
- Strategic Cruisers (Tengu) and Triglavian HACs can change engagement profiles quickly; assume high DPS and adaptable fits.
- Repeat victimization of named pilots indicates either predictable routing or focused hunting — vary routines and docking/undocking behavior.
Bottom Line / Immediate Orders
- Miners: cease solo Covetor operations during 00:00–11:00 UTC; operate with escorts or switch to tankier barges.
- Pilots in light missile/combat hulls: avoid solo transits in Angatalie during peak hours; travel in pairs/groups and vary approach vectors.
- Do not engage Anatoli Sokolow alone; Blackwood/BlackMine requires dedicated counter‑tackle and coordinated force.
- If conducting operations in Angatalie, plan for E‑war and high‑quality subcap aggression; default to conservative posture and group operations.
EIN will continue monitoring pattern shifts. Stay defensive-minded while operating in Angatalie — the system currently favors predators.
