The combination of these two facts means that it is sometimes profitable for players to blow up hauling ships, accept the loss of their own ship(s), and then loot the hauler wrecks for valuables worth much more than the ships they lost. This is informally known as "suicide ganking".

Suicide ganking is a legitimate activity within the game rules of EVE Online. Some corporations and ~~alliances--including~~ EVE ~~University--ban their members~~ from doing it; other groups specialize in it. Skilled suicide gankers cunningly design fits which deliver the highest frontloaded damage (sometimes called "alpha strike") rather than damage-per-second, for the lowest ISK costs. They must also cultivate a fine-grained sense of market value, and study the most efficient transport routes and chokepoints. These skills are, ironically, very like those necessary for successful transport pilots.
