*Tactical bookmarks, that is, bookmarks on a gate or station placed 250-350km away from the gate are your life blood and savior in bombers. They allow you to warp into a gate at range, to check the gate for potential targets, without the worry of being decloaked by enemy ships. Additionally, bookmarks provide a great close-to-the-fight bounce spot if you need to warp out of an engagement. Warping to a bookmark 200km away from the fight is a much faster way to break a lock, cloak back up, then warping to a celestial. Additionally, tactical bookmarks around warpgates and stations will save your ship countless times in null security space where bubbles abound on gates and stations. | *Tactical bookmarks, that is, bookmarks on a gate or station placed 250-350km away from the gate are your life blood and savior in bombers.

*Know the optimal range of your launchers and what range you need to warp in at. At your ship's optimal range, it may take up to 10-12 seconds for the first volley of torpedoes to hit the target. It is not uncommon to have up to 3 volleys in space before the first torpedo hits the target. | *Know the optimal range of your launchers and what range you need to warp in at.
