~~A simpler~~ system ~~follows~~ the ~~same general~~ pattern as the Agony style where you always have the four key elements in the bookmark name (type, object, alignment, distance). But instead of using symbols like ">label<" or "|-label-|", you stick with simple 1-3 character prefixes to define the bookmark type. Sometimes the alignment can be left off (in the case of ~~favorite stations, or insta-warp undocks).~~

In the simple system all bookmarks follow the pattern of:

As with the Agony system, bookmarks should be sorted into folders based on the type of the bookmark. This keeps things simple and since the bookmarks all contain the "type" at the front of the label, you can easily recreate and refile your bookmarks if you lose your folders. For example, every bookmark that is prefixed as "GOG" goes in the "Gate (Off-Grid)" folder.

This follows the same general pattern as the Agony style where you always have the four key elements in the bookmark name. But instead of using symbols like ">label<" or "|-label-|", you stick with short character prefixes to define the bookmark type.

~~TYPE OBJECT ALIGNMENT DISTANCE~~

As with the Agony system, bookmarks should be sorted into folders based on the type of the bookmark. Over the long term, sorting into folders by type will make the most sense because the game will filter out any bookmarks that are not in the current solar system. By putting the "type" identifier at the front of the name, you can easily sort your bookmarks back into folders (such as if you lose your local settings file). For example, every bookmark that is prefixed as "GOG" goes in the "Gate (Off-Grid)" folder.

The alignment can be done in a variety of ways, but is generally done in relationship to the star. Pretend that you are standing at the star and looking towards the gate. This gives you left / right / high / low / near / far. Or you could just use letters like: L (Left) / R (Right) / T (Top) / B (Bottom) / N (Near) / F (Far).

The alignment notation can be done in a variety of ways, but is generally done in relationship to the star. Pretend that you are standing at the star and looking towards the gate. This gives you left / right / high / low / near / far. Or you could just use letters like: L (Left) / R (Right) / T (Top) / B (Bottom) / N (Near) / F (Far). Sometimes the alignment can be omitted (in the case of favorite stations, or insta-warp undocks).
