If it is like Eve Online and I am assuming it is with a name like Star Wars, then he means he and his friends stayed by a hyper gate in space, and waited for new players to arrive through the gate, and then they killed them. Forcing the new players to buy a new ship, and if they were pod killed (Not sure if Star Wars has that) then they have to buy a new clone of themselves. Or maybe they ransomed them telling them to give them millions or they will be killed. Two reasons I quit playing Eve Online. Got tired of losing expensive ships with expensive hardware on them. (the main reason though was the fact that I could not afford to play my 3 accounts at $15 each)
