There are various tactical bookmarks used for different roles but the basic tactical bookmark used by all capsuleers is the observation bookmark.

==== Observation Bookmarks ====

Observation bookmarks are used for tactical observation of star bases, POS and gates. Before you warp to a gate or a base you may want to scan and check your destination from an off-grid location for any camps or targets you are hunting. In this kind of situation observation bookmarks are used to approach a point-of-interest from a safe distance, out off the grid, to scan the destination for possible targets or camps. A directional scan of the destination from an observation bookmark would reveal relevant information without detection from a safe distance.

===== Tactical Bookmarks =====

Tactical Bookmarks around a station represent an important category of Observation Bookmarks. When entering a new system for the first time, you should build a simple library of bookmarks around your home station. (i.e. If you are new to the UNI, it is a good idea to practice this exercise on Aldrat - PTS.) Ideally, you should fit a fast frigate to establish the bookmarks.

At a minimum, 16 bookmarks are recommended. A printed picture describes the plan better: [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/w/images/1/16/Warp_Tacticals_Basic_%281%29.pdf Warp Tactical Around A Station]

As you can see, the plan uses the undock path as the starting point to describe the other bookmarks:

'''A)''' Three "Insta-Undocks" depicted in blue. (One on-grid, one off-grid, and one that "bends the grid"). '''B)''' Two pink bookmarks that represent Insta-DOCKs immediately above and below the station. '''C)''' Two dark gray bookmarks more above and below the station, respectively. '''D)''' Two light gray bookmarks to the left and right (port and starboard) of the undock path, respectively. '''E)''' Two red bookmarks immediately behind the undock path. '''F)''' One "safe spot" bookmark at an off grid spot situated in a random direction away from the station.

To do this properly, it should take a UNISTA about 30 minutes. However, once established, a UNISTA can now warp around the area at ease using this collection of tactical bookmarks.

===== Ender's View of Tactical Bookmarks =====

For those who are a fan of the book Ender's game, the picture below realigns the mapping of the bookmarks. [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/w/images/d/db/Warp_Tacticals_ENDER_%284%29.pdf Ender's View of Warp Tactical Around A Station]

While at first glance an undocking ship appears to travel in a straight line, remember this is space and the orientation is in the eye of the beholder. Accordingly, Ender would articulate that when you undock, you are really "falling." Thus, the red bookmarks represent the High Ground of any combat situation. (If you want to see it in practice, imagine someone is shooting at you from behind the station the next time you undock, try to turn around and burn towards the hypothetical aggressor, and enjoy getting stuck bumping into the station.)

Once you have established this collection of bookmarks around a station, you can extend the thinking to key stargates within the system. The "high ground" of a stargate is either the path that is furthest away from the sun of furthest away from your home station.
