===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 players can then buy the killright, thereby flagging the baiting player as suspect, and engage and destroy his/her ship without CONCORD intervention. The baiting player may have lost a cheap ship but he can ~~collect~~ the money from the killright and the insurance money. 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 hopes to get away to avoid losing the ship at all.
