Your FC might want to have a [[Safe spots#Rolling safe spots|rolling safe]] in which you keep burning at high speed in one direction and the fleet warps to you whenever you travel more than 150km away. This makes it significantly harder to get a good warp-in on the fleet by probing it down. Your role in a rolling safe is very simple: just burn at top speed in a consistent direction. Check with the FC whether they would like that direction to be aligned towards anything in particular.

Finally, bookmarks can play a role in short-term trickery. If you are hunting PvE ships, for example, and one gives you the slip, you might find it useful to bookmark where the target ''was'', which might mean bookmarking an [[Mobile structures#Mobile Tractor Unit|MTU]] or an asteroid. If you return to the system after a short pause (5 or 10 minutes), you can try warping straight to this bookmark; sometimes unwary targets let themselves get caught this way.
