¶ Ganking
Ganking is game slang for an individual ship being attacked by a group of ships. Its essentially short for "Gang Kill" because there is very little chance for a single ship to take on several other ships.
Ganking is done by all nations and all classes, and is a very common part of the game. Its frustrating when it happens to you, but if you sail in the red is always a risk.
¶ Most Important
Don't get discouraged when it happens to you. It will happen if you sail the red, its part of the game and adds to the tension/excitement. Remember the number one rule in the red....there are no rules.
