Unaligned safe spots are pretty safe, but there is always a chance that you could be pinpointed by probe scanning. The longer you stay in a safe spot, the chance of being pinpointed increases exponentially. Even if you are far away from any celestials and out of maximum on-board scanning range, your existence could be confirmed by your appearance in the local chat channels in high and low security space.

~~=== Tactical Bookmarks ===~~

~~There are various tactical bookmarks used for different roles, but the basic tactical bookmark used by all capsuleers is the observation bookmark.~~

==== Observation Bookmarks ====

Observation bookmarks are used for tactical observation of star bases, POS, and gates. Before you warp to a gate or a base, you may want to scan and check your destination from an off-grid location for any camps or targets you are hunting. In this situation, observation bookmarks are used to scan the destination for possible targets or camps from a safe distance.

Tactical Bookmarks around a station represent an important category of Observation Bookmarks. When entering a new system for the first time, you should build a simple library of bookmarks around your home station. (i.e. If you are new to the UNI, it is a good idea to practice this exercise on Aldrat - PTS.) Ideally, you should fit a fast frigate to establish the bookmarks.

To do this properly, it should take a UNISTA about 30 minutes. However, once established, a UNISTA can now warp around the area at ease using this collection of tactical bookmarks.

Once you have established this collection of bookmarks around a station, you can extend the thinking to key stargates within the system. The "high ground" of a stargate is either the path that is furthest away from the sun or furthest away from your home station.

=== Tactical Bookmarks ===

In the same layout as the Observation Bookmarks, one can use Tactical Bookmarks for a PvP usage in Low Security Systems, Null Sec Systems and Wormhole Space. The recommended layout for a Tactical PvP Bookmark Setup is the classic 3 axes, 4 point per axes, with 150km separating each Bookmark Point. With this layout, a Fleet Commander, or yourself, can warp to various different positions depending on the situation and the fleets compositions. With this layout, almost every point around a designated area (eg. Jump Gate, POS, Station...) in a radius of 300km can be reached, allowing fast position changes as well as the famous "50km Warp" known to be the smallest distance a ship can warp to.

===== How to Tactical Bookmarks =====

The fastest way to create a Tactically Bookmarked Location would be the combined use of Micro Jump Drives (MJD) and Micro Warp Drives (MWD), although it was rarely used in the middle of a fleet fight, these could allow fast creation of such Bookmarks in those situations. The recommended layout for a Tactical PvP Bookmark Setup is the classic 3 axes, 4 point per axes, with 150km separating each Bookmark Point. This creates 12 points that can be warped to from any other point in the layout. Because that ship cannot warp if the target location is closer than 150km range, it is recommanded to even make them at a little more than 150km.

More Points in the layout allows more mobility and precision to the desired warp location.

===== Usage of Tactical Bookmarks =====

Although, the 150km minimum range doesn't apply to the "Warp at..." option, allowing a pilot to make a 50km warp if warping to a target location at 150km range using the "Warp at 100km" option.

Because of the fact that there are 7 "Warp at..." options, a pilot or a Fleet Commander can virtually arrive at any locations inside the Tactically Bookmarked Location.

Also, beside the realigning time, there is no cooldown on the warp, this allows pilots to move freely between the different layout points to get closer, or farther, to their targets upon landing. Using Warp instead of a MWD, for anything bigger than a destroyer, is faster for distances above 50km on most of the situations, making Tactical Bookmarks a more important tool for non-frigates.
