===Suspect baiting===

An experienced PVPer will give himself a suspect flag and then hang out in a weak ship close to a station. The suspect flag means they can be attacked in highsec without CONCORD intervention. The victim attacks the suspect, who then immediately docks his ship or gets a clone. That victim now has a 60 second weapons timer, which means they cannot dock or use a stargate until that timer expires. The suspect then undocks in a real PVP ship, and because he can attack his attacker also without CONCORD intervention, proceeds to do so and kills him.

===Killright baiting===

A player will use an alt to put a moderatly priced killright, usually between 50-100mil ISK, on himself and idle near a gate or station in an, by comparison, cheap T1 industrial. Other forms may include freighters and 1bil ISK killrights, where the baiting player actually turns a huge profit on the killright, which, minus the cost for the freighter and the insurance, can still net him/her several hundred million ISK overall. Still others might set auto-pilot routes for their ships in an attempt to appear like an unexperienced or unaware player hauling cargo from A to B. This practice, however, could be more tempting to, in turn, new and unexperienced players, especially if they did not scan the ship and do not realize that in most cases it has either valuable cargo nor any valuable mods installed, if any at all.

While this can be done entirely while beeing AFK, some players will still keep an eye on their "bait" and, as soon as they are being attacked, try to dock up or jump through the near stargate in the in the hopes to get away to avoid losing the ship at all.
