Ganking means to "surprise attack".
In EVE, it's mostly used by pirates using warp bubbles and such.
Not always - we sometimes use lies as well. |

And yes - ganking is when you see someone, could kill him easily, but instead follow him til he reaches his goal - and then kill him right when he starts hacking. I do this. All. The. Time.
It is glorious. |

Pretty much.
DPS or a very high alpha strike capability. |

You equip mods that are made to bring down an enemy player, ganking isnt so much a fit as it is choosing how and when to engage a target so the battle ends up favourably for you. If i know a frig is on a gate id send a couple frigs around to the opposite side of that gate to wait for him while sending another two frigs to push him through the gate so the waiting frigs could tackle him while he tried to warp. A gank fit would consist of a web, a disrupter(point), and some sort of speed Mod like afterburners or a microwarpdrive, also preferrably tech 2 autocannons or Lasers.
Your description of a "gank" fit is not really gank, you know. That is standard for any PvP ship. A true gank is one that can alpha a target, or come damn close. It also involves surprise, as someone else said. At least that's how ganks work in my neck of the woods, and have for years in all other corps/alliances I've been in/led. |

For fitting it's the opposite of Tank - Your ability to absorb and repair damage. Gank - It's your ability to pump out damage.
When you do it to someone you're trying to remove any possible outcome to a fight which doesn't end with them being dead in as brutal a fashion as possible. This can take the form of a large quantity of people behind you or just the right tools (lol jams, tracking disruptors, capacitor warfare) to remove any possibility of a good fight for whoever you are ganking.
I don't think there's a 1:1 correlation in Dust but I'll take it as meaning you try to stack the deck in your favour where at all possible at the start of every engagement. In which case guilty as charged. Yep. Right on.
This.
