==== Using a Bounce ====

A bounce is used to counter drag and catch bubbles. It allows you to warp to a gate off of the axis that bubble is placed on so that you will land near the gate instead of the bubble, then from the bounce you warp to the gate and jump. The reason why bubbles pull you out of warp like this is because when you warp EVE draws an invisible line between you and your destination, the line also extends beyond your target location by about 90km. When there's a bubble on that line, even the extra 90km, the game says "You've been caught in a bubble!" and warps you to the bubble instead of your target. That's what makes it possible for the bubble to "drag" you '''''past''''' the gate.

A "bounce" can be a celestial in-space that allows the player to route around the bubble alignment. It can also be a bookmark in space, on or off-grid from the gate itself, used for the same purpose. These bookmarks are sometimes called a "ping", a "tac" (short for tactical bookmark), or simply, a bookmark.

* Some players have bounces for most systems in their corp bookmarks depending on what corp they are in, use these if you have them.
