When warping to any location the ship will land approximately 2,500 meters away from the target. For stations, this means that the ship can land outside of the docking range and is vulnerable to ganks as it approaches the station. This is especially dangerous at [[trade hubs]] where gankers may try to kill you. Instadock bookmarks solve this issue. | When warping to any location the ship will land approximately 2,500 meters away from the target.

An instadock bookmark is a bookmark that is placed at least 2,500 meters inside of the docking range. One common way of creating an instadock bookmark is by undocking from a station and saving the location immediately or while the overview says that a pilot is within 0 meters of that station. Instadock bookmarks can be used in combination with the autopilot. Set the target station as your destination and warp to the instadock bookmark. Enable autopilot after entering the warp. As soon as the ship lands on the bookmark the autopilot will automatically dock. | An instadock bookmark is a bookmark that is placed at least 2,500 meters inside of the docking range. One common way of creating an instadock bookmark is by undocking from a station and saving the location immediately or while the overview says that a pilot is within 0 meters of that station. Another approach is by manually piloting to other parts of the station, but within the docking range, and saving the location. Instadock bookmarks can be used in combination with the autopilot. Set the target station as your destination and warp to the instadock bookmark. Enable autopilot after entering the warp.
