Of special note is incursion bookmarks. They'll often be far into space, 14 AU from celestials. Easy to bookmark by rightclicking on the overview. But again - underwear sharing. Everyone can see them. Good to start an unaligned bookmark from, not so great to use as an actual safe spot. | Of special note is incursion bookmarks.

Offgrid bookmarks are possibly the quickest to set up. Simply warp to the celestial (again, gate for example) and as you get close to it (under an AU, maybe under 10 000 km) bookmark. Voila, next time you can warp to it and check the gate without being on grid via d-scan. | |||
Deep safes are more then 14 AU away from any celestial, which makes it more difficult to find on D-scan. Still findable with probes, especially Deep Space probe (hence the name). Require a little more effort to get, but well worth it for the tactical advantages, especially in wormholes. | |||
The next two are more utility bookmarks. | |||
Undocks require a bit more time and preparation, but vital to avoid station camps, especially when carrying something expensive out of a trade hub (although why you're doing that, is entirely upon you). Simply undock in a fast frigate, turn on the mwd and put your feet on the desk. When you've gotten a few hundred, thousand k's away, bookmark, warp to the station, dock, undock and warp to the bookmark. Congrats! Your plex hauler is safe from that station camp! | Undocks require a bit more time and preparation, but vital to avoid station camps, especially when carrying something expensive out of a trade hub (although why you're doing that, is entirely upon you).

Observation bookmarks allow even a non cloaked ship to be fairly safe travelling dangerous territory. Again, prep work is required. Fast frig, burn in a direction from the place (gate, for example) you want to observe, drop bookmark at between 200 - 300 km. This allows you to warp to the gate and jump, or warp to it at a distance to observe it directly or warp away if someone's closing the distance. Options are always good. Several observation bookmarks make it difficult for an enemy to predict which one you're going to, but still. Do you want to share the underwear AND be a preventable lossmail? Delete the bookmark and make another. | Observation bookmarks allow even a non cloaked ship to be fairly safe travelling dangerous territory. Again, prep work is required.
