'''Suicide Ganking''' is the act of attacking another ship in [[high-sec|High Security space]] without a legal reason, such as via a [[War Declaration|war declaration]], [[Crimewatch#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] which lasts for 15 minutes, during which being in space in any ship other than a [[Capsule]] will result in it's destruction in seconds.

As [[CONCORD]] will always react to destroy any ship which earns a [[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 an [[Industrial]], or a swarm of destroyers destroying a [[Freighter]].
