*It is also important that you change the name of your ship(s) from the default they are given when you assemble them. The default contains your name and the ship name, and it makes it easy for the enemy when using D-Scan to identify you and the ship you are in.

=== Bookmarks ===

It's important that you're creating your own library of [[Bookmarks|bookmarks]], even for use outside of wartime conditions. You shouldn't depend on the Corp or even others to be providing your bookmarks. You can get copies from the corp section of your People and Places (Alt-E) / Places window (and be careful you're copying properly) but a corp can only have 500 bookmarks stored as locations, and with over 2000 pilots and various campuses this resource at the corp level is extremely limited and it's constantly being edited to maintain only those locations most necessary. Bookmarks you'll want to have include safes, undocking and insta-docking, gate locations for observation and tacticals, perches.

As you travel an easy method for picking up random bookmarks that aren't celestial or gate aligned (as opposed to just hitting "Ctrl-B / save", which is better than nothing) is to bookmark any combat site anomalies (the "greens") that show on your Probe Scanner window (Alt-P). Keep in mind these will not be useful as bookmarks, say for a safe, until that site despawns. You can edit and organize your bookmarks in your People and Places window. You can create folders for categories that make sense to you, such as "Safes", "Docking and Undocking", etc.

~~<br>~~

Take the time to set up at least a few safes and insta-docking and undocking bookmarks in systems that you both travel in and operate in. Having a few safes to bounce between can be very handy.

Always keep in mind that a determined enemy may launch combat probes to scan you down so it's important that you don't remain in one place. Bookmarks can mean the difference between surviving and getting killed.
