Bookmark: Difference between revisions

Mid-point safes are the simplest and least secure form of safes. Simple create a bookmark while warping between two celestials. It is fairly easy to get approximate position of a mid point safe by using [[directional scanner]] which makes them easier to probe. A determined pilot can even locate mid-point safes with directional scanner and mid warp bookmarks.

Unaligned safes are considerably more secure than mid-point safes. These spots are not in an alignment between two celestial objects. Unaligned safes can be made by either bookmarking signatures/mission sites or by creating safe spot while warping from between mid-point safe and another location.

Deep safes are the most secure form of safe spots. Usually a safe is considered to be deep safe if it is more than 14 AU from any celestial and is not in between celestials. This makes it impossible to be seen with directional scanner. Proper deep safes can be hard to make. The following are three most common methods:

When you warp to any location your ship will land approximately 2500 meters away from the target. On stations this means that you can land outside of the docking range and are vulnurable to ganks as you approach the station. This is especially dangerous at trade hubs where gankers may try to kill you.<br>

When you undock from a station your ship will be moving at maximum velocity towards certain direction. By having a bookmark far in that direction it is possible to instantly warp off after undocking.<br>

The most common way for making instaundock is to use very fast MWD frigate. Undock from the station and burn away. It is also possible tu use mid warp bookmarks, celestial alignment or lucky signatures. The instaundock bookmark should ideally be far enough from the station so that it is not on same grid. This way you will disappear from their overview after warping to it.<br>

It should be noted that the ship heading has small random variance on undock.

Using instaundocks is not recommended for slow ships. A well placed combat prober will be able to probe slow ship at the landing position before the slow ship is able to warp away.

Tactical bookmarks are bookmarks that are on grid with a point of interest (such as station or stargate) but far enough that hostiles on the grid will not be danger to you and [[Tackling#Warp_disruption_fields|drag bubbles]] will not drag you. They should be at minimum 200 km away so that warping between the target and the bookmark is always possible.<br>

Tactical bookmarks can also be used for fast repositioning on grid. The recommended layout for a Tactical PvP Bookmark Setup is the classic 3 axes, 4 point per axes, with 150km separating each Bookmark Point. With this layout, almost every point around a designated area (eg. Jump Gate, POS, Station...) in a radius of 300km can be reached, allowing fast position changes as well as the famous "50km Warp" known to be the smallest distance a ship can warp to. if you have a target 50 km away and a tactical bookmark 200 km behind them you can warp to the bookmark at 150 km and land right on top of the target.

Finding a good spot for a warp disruption bubble takes time. So if you think you may be camping the same stargate in future you will want to save the location where you want your bubble to be.
