Angatalie – 2025-11-18
Date: 2025-11-17
System: Angatalie (Everyshore — Low-Sec)
System Threat Level (aggregated): 3.5 / Significant Risk (high-end prowess)
Summary
- Angatalie is actively dangerous despite a low incident count. The presence of a dedicated Ikitursa pilot and unexplained, high-value ship losses make routine transit or non-combat operations risky.
- Primary identified threat: Anatoli Sokolow operating an Ikitursa HAC with consistent morning activity (06:00–11:00 UTC).
- Secondary risk: Two unlogged battleship-class hull losses (Hurricane, Megathron) on 2025-11-16 indicating coordinated, high-damage activity or environmental/technical causes that bypass standard victim/attacker logs.
Key Observations (rooted in analyst data)
- Recurrent morning harassment window: 06:00–11:00 UTC (notably 11/12 and 11/13). Anatoli Sokolow in an Ikitursa was active and successful during this period.
- Weekend spike (Saturday 11/16, 18:00–20:00 UTC): Two high-class hull losses occurred within ~35 minutes with no logged attackers — labelled “Weekend Wipeout.”
- Late-night/early-morning skirmish recorded (Sunday 11/17, 03:00–04:00 UTC): smaller engagement (Velator vs Endurance).
- Other persistent threats: Vexor Navy Issue (Fewederia Alant Agnon) and opportunistic pilots using Endurance-class ships (Vincemt' Night) target smaller or predictable vessels.
- A vulnerable, repeatedly-hit pilot (V1ctorovich) was present; their predictable losses may attract further attacks.
Threat Actors & Profiles
- Anatoli Sokolow — Ikitursa HAC — Real Thread Level: 4.8 (Extremely High). Highly capable solo operator, consistent morning patrols, lethal to under-tanked ships.
- Unknown/Unlogged Force — Battleship/Battlecruiser kills (Hurricane, Megathron) — Real Thread Level: 4.5 (Extreme). Indicates coordinated high-damage activity or environmental/technical threat not captured in attacker logs.
- Fewederia Alant Agnon — Vexor Navy Issue — Real Thread Level: 3.5 (High). Effective drone-cruiser threat to small/medium targets.
- Vincemt' Night — Endurance — Real Thread Level: 2.5 (Moderate). Opportunistic low-value target hunter.
- V1ctorovich — repeated victim; presence increases probability of further attention from active hunters.
Risk Assessment
- Angatalie is unsafe for routine hauling, mining, or lightly tanked ships. Targets above ~100M ISK are at elevated risk given documented ability to eliminate battleship/battlecruiser hulls rapidly.
- High-skilled solo HAC activity and unexplained weekend losses make the system unpredictable and dangerous during specific time windows and for high-value assets.
Tactical Recommendations (strictly drawn from observed patterns)
- Avoidance
- If possible, reroute around Angatalie entirely for transit, hauling, mining, or ops involving valuables.
- If travel is unavoidable, do not transit during identified high-risk windows: 06:00–11:00 UTC (weekday mornings) and Saturday 18:00–20:00 UTC. Also exercise extreme caution around 03:00–04:00 UTC Sunday.
- Ship & Fit Guidance
- Do not use lightly tanked frigates/cruisers for transits; use higher-EHP or interceptor-class ships with strong mobility and/or substantial tank if you must pass through.
- Avoid carrying >100M ISK in single hauls through the system. Break cargo into smaller consignments or use alternative, longer routes.
- Operational Tactics
- Scout thoroughly before committing: use D-scan and keep safe bookmarks for instant warp-ins. Be prepared for high-alpha or HAC engagements.
- Expect skilled solo hunters (Ikitursa) and drone-cruiser engagements; light electronic warfare or poor anti-drone setups are liabilities.
- For combat operations in-system, bring appropriate counters to heavy assault cruisers (e.g., superior range control, ECM/long-range kiting, logistics support) and be wary of unlogged, high-damage threats during weekends.
- Mining/Industry
- Suspend high-value mining or hauling operations within Angatalie until patterns change or you can accept the increased risk.
- If maintaining assets in-system, ensure they are insured and that pilots operating them are combat-capable or accompanied.
- PvP & Scout Ops
- Pilots seeking engagements should account for the presence of a dedicated HAC operator in the morning window and the possibility of a larger, unlogged gang on weekend evenings. Do not assume attacker logs will capture all hostile actors.
Operational Windows to Avoid (based on recorded incidents)
- Weekday mornings: 06:00–11:00 UTC — repeated Ikitursa activity (Anatoli Sokolow)
- Saturday evenings: 18:00–20:00 UTC — unlogged, high-value ship hull losses (Hurricane, Megathron)
- Late night / early morning: around 03:00–04:00 UTC — smaller skirmishes recorded
Conclusion
- Angatalie currently presents a disproportional danger relative to its incident count because of high-capability actors (Ikitursa HAC) and unexplained, high-damage weekend events. Exercise extreme caution: avoid transit with valuable assets, shift operations outside identified windows, and favor higher-EHP ships or alternative routes. The system should be treated as actively hostile to non-prepared traffic until further change in observed behavior.
