Angatalie – 2025-11-15
Executive summary
- Between 2025-11-10 and 2025-11-13 Angatalie recorded 5 hostile incidents in 4 days. Activity shows sustained, targeted PvP rather than one-off skirmishes.
- Overall threat: Level 3.5 (Significant Risk) for vulnerable ships; spikes to Level 4.5 (Extreme Risk) during peak windows or against slow/poorly tanked hulls.
- Primary confirmed threats: a repeat Ikitursa solo predator (Anatoli Sokolow), a Tengu‑led gank cell (Zonis Thellere supported by an Astero), and several small‑gang/ambush cruiser setups.
Key threat windows (UTC)
- 00:00–05:00 — Peak ganking; highest burst DPS risk. (Observed coordinated ganks including a Covetor.)
- 04:00–07:00 — Early‑morning spike inside the larger peak.
- 09:00–11:00 — Late‑morning spike driven by Ikitursa solo activity (highest individual‑target risk).
- 12:00–23:59 — Quiet period in the observed sample; comparatively lower risk.
Confirmed hostile actors / profiles
- The Triglavian Hammer — Ikitursa (Anatoli Sokolow). Two final blows recorded. Role: solo heavy predator; very high alpha and staying power. Avoid single‑ship engagements with this pilot. Real threat level: 4.5.
- Strategic Gank Squad — Tengu (Zonis Thellere) supported by Astero scout (Konn X). Role: high‑alpha, flexible gank setups with tackle and scan/tackle support. Real threat level: 4.0.
- VNI Ambush — Vexor Navy Issue (Fewederia Alant Agnon). Role: drone/hybrid ambush specialist; effective against cruisers and lightly tuned targets. Real threat level: 3.8.
- Brawling Gang — Thorax + Retribution team (Katrina BlackMine Kashada, Malachird, Lee Blackwood). Role: close‑range tackle and sustained brawl for tackle‑dependent kills. Real threat level: 3.5.
- Covetor vulnerability — Single Covetor loss (mana1003) demonstrates mining barges are being actively hunted in-system. For that ship class the localized threat approaches catastrophic for solo ops.
Primary local threat warnings (actionable)
- Miner / industrial gank alert
- Evidence: Covetor ganked by Tengu‑led setup.
- Action: Do not mine solo in Angatalie. If you must mine, use maximum tank or escorted mining fleets. Fit warp core stabilizers or align rigs to reduce being webbed/scrammed. Strongly avoid mining during 00:00–05:00 UTC and 09:00–11:00 UTC.
- Ikitursa solo predation
- Evidence: Anatoli Sokolow recorded two solo final blows in an Ikitursa.
- Action: Treat any Ikitursa contact as high risk. Do not investigate alone. Only engage with coordinated fleets or deny line‑of‑sight and avoid vulnerable warp‑in points and gates while they are active.
- Transit and scanning
- Evidence: Astero used as scout/tackler in Tengu gank.
- Action: Assume scan/tackle support when a Tengu is present. Transit aligned, use bookmarks that allow instant warp, and prefer cloaky/scout coverage. Avoid slow align ships when approaching known hot windows.
- Time management
- Evidence: Activity concentrated between 00:00–11:00 UTC.
- Action: Schedule high‑value, vulnerable ops (mining, relic/data runs, scanning) during the quieter afternoon/evening windows where possible.
Tactical countermeasures (concise)
- For miners and industrials: fleet up; bring escorts with long‑range tackle denial (interdictor/longpoint) and remote reps; fit tank over yield if solo; use warp core stabilizers; avoid remote belts and pocketed roams.
- For solo/mission pilots: assume patrols and roamers — travel in fast align ships or with scout; avoid gank windows; keep microwarpdrive/cloak options ready.
- For PvP opportunists: do not hunt the Ikitursa alone; bring coordinated force‑multipliers (heavy tackle, smart DPS composition) and be ready for high‑sustained alpha.
- For gate transit: watch for windowed gate camps early morning; use safe‑warp tactics, scouts, and pre‑aligned escape bookmarks.
What this means for Angatalie (low‑sec context)
- Angatalie is actively being worked by small but effective PvP elements: high‑alpha gank squads and a repeatable, dangerous solo HAC. The system is not safe for high‑yield, low‑tank industrial activity without escort. Transit and PvE operations can be done with acceptable risk outside the identified peak windows if proper precautions are taken.
