An EVE Online term. Involves engaging an enemy gang, getting aggression from them, then deploying a cynosural field to allow a carrier or other capital ship to come in and knock them up. A common bait tactic.
Ted: "Our battleship gang was pwning a cruiser gang, then they did a carrier hotdrop. We were jammed, so we dropped like flies."
Fred: "Oh man, that sucks."
