An EVE Online example uses two apparent merchant convoys to attack ships waiting at a transit gate. The first group consists of empty merchant vessels with an escort and triggers the ambush. A second group then arrives with heavily armed ships that resemble merchant vessels, supported by another escort. Their task is to attack the force exposed by the first convoy. This is an account of a game tactic, used in the wider convoy discussion to illustrate bait, concealment, and a supporting force.
