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

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

It should be noted that the ship heading has a small random variance on undock. | It should be noted that the ship heading has a small random variance on undock. For this reason, the further away the insta-undock location is, the better (at least 150km, but ideally and highly recommended to at least a couple of thousand kilometers from the station). | ||
Using insta-undocks is not recommended for slow ships. A well-placed combat prober may probe a slow ship at the landing position before the slow ship can warp away. | Using insta-undocks is not recommended for slow ships.
