'''Mid-point safe''' is 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 the [[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 safe''' is the simplest and least secure form of safes.

'''Unaligned safe''' is 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. | '''Unaligned safe''' is considerably more secure than mid-point safes.

Wrecks can not be scanned down. To return to the battlefield to [[salvage]] bookmark the location before leaving. For multi pocket mission all pockets need to be bookmarked separately. | Wrecks can not be scanned down. To return to the battlefield to [[salvage]] bookmark the location before leaving.

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.

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. | ||
