'''Suicide Ganking''' is the act of attacking another ship in [[ | '''Suicide Ganking''' is the act of attacking another ship in [[System security#High security|High Security space]] without a legal reason, such as via a [[War Declaration|war declaration]], [[Timers#Legality_Timers|suspect timer]], [[Timers|duel]], or [[Timers|friendly fire]]. Shooting someone without any of those flags or statuses is an illegal action, and will grant you a [[timers#Criminal Timer|Criminal Timer]] which lasts for 15 minutes, during which being in space in any ship other than a [[Capsule]] will result in its destruction in seconds. [[Alpha clones]] cannot do this, as they are unable to set their [[Safety_settings#Safety_settings | safety]] to red in High-sec. | ||
As [[CONCORD]] will always react to destroy any ship which earns a [[timers|Criminal Timer]], the aggressor is guaranteed to lose their ship - hence the term "suicide ganking". However, [[CONCORD]] does not react instantly, giving the attacker time to try and destroy their target. The aim of suicide ganking, therefore, is to destroy a higher value target than the value of the ship or ships being used to gank. Frequently, this manifests in a maximum DPS destroyer destroying a [[Mining Barge]], a cruiser destroying a [[Hauler]], or a swarm of destroyers destroying a [[Freighter]]. | As [[CONCORD]] will always react to destroy any ship which earns a [[timers#Criminal Timer|Criminal Timer]], the aggressor is guaranteed to lose their ship - hence the term "suicide ganking".

* Systems surrounding any key points of interest. Many of these {{ColorSecurityRating|0.5}} pipe systems have other {{ColorSecurityRating|0.5}} or {{ColorSecurityRating|0.6}} systems on either side, for example, Sivala ({{ColorSecurityRating|0.6}}) next to Uedama ({{ColorSecurityRating|0.5}}), which are often also used for ganking where targets may be less prepared and aware. A lot of time people will stop a jump out of Uedama knowing there are gankers in there and wait for them to log off, only for the gankers to preemptively meet them one jump ahead and catching them. | * Systems surrounding any key points of interest.
