'''Bookmarks''' are used to identify unique locations in space so they can be easily warped to. Bookmarks do not need to be associated with an actual in-game object and are often used to mark locations far from surrounding celestial objects. | '''Bookmarks''' are used to identify unique locations in space so they can be easily warped to.

* Don’t try to write labels and notes in stressful situations - just take the necessary bookmark. The client will give an automatic label to the bookmark. You can even use the same label for different bookmarks. Because their coordinates are different, they won’t overwrite each other. | * Don’t try to write labels and notes in stressful situations - just take the necessary bookmark.

There are many types of bookmarks, but all capsuleers should at least have some basic bookmarks to travel in space safely and avoid traps or hunts.

Safe spot bookmarks are one of the most important ways to use bookmarks. Safe spots are locations in space away from all charted entities. The only way to find someone in a safe spot and warp to that location is by using scan probes. Although you can be seen in a directional scan, you cannot be followed unless someone scans your location with probes. | Safe spot bookmarks are one of the most important ways to use bookmarks.

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

'''Unaligned safes''' are considerably more secure than mid-point safes. These spots are not in alignment between two celestial objects. Unaligned safes can be made by either bookmarking signatures/mission sites or by creating a safe spot while warping from between a 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 the directional scanner. Proper deep safes can be hard to make. The following are the three most common methods: | '''Deep safes''' are the most secure form of safe spots.

* The old probe scanning system could be used to warp to an arbitrarily far location. This allowed making bookmarks that were hundreds or thousands of AU away.

Never warp to within 'zero' of your safe spot. This will reduce your chance of being detected or compromising your safe spot location. And always move rather than sit still, so even if your location is known your adversaries will not be able to land to you at zero. | Never warp to within 'zero' of your safe spot.
