| == Where do we use bookmarks and why do we need them? ==
| |
|
| |
|
| In EVE, celestial objects and star bases are defined by coordinates in our current maps. Other than those locations already defined in astrometry charts, there could be other locations which you may want to save so that you can return later. Bookmarks are used to identify those locations in-game.

| A miner ship has a limited cargo hold for ore. So, miners usually collect ore in a can and leave it in space. After they deplete the source, they return to their base of operation and come back with a hauler to haul the can. These cans are objects floating in space and if you don’t bookmark their location you cannot return to them and collect your ore.

| | |
| | There are two main ways of creating bookmarks. |
| | |
| | If you wish to bookmark your current location there are two methods: |
| | * Open the "[[People & Places]]" window and go to the "Places" tab. Select "Add Location" at the bottom and you will bookmark the location you are presently at in space. |
| | * Faster way is to use the "Save location..." hotkey. The default is CTRL+B. |
| | |
| | [[Image:CCanBookmark.jpg]] |
| | If you wish to bookmark the location of an object on grid you can right-click an item in space or on your overview and select “Save Location”. Or use the radial menu to do the same. |
| | |
| | The only difference between these methods is that using the first method bookmarks your ship's current position in space while the second method bookmarks another entity's location in space. You can bookmark cans, POS (Player Owned Station), wrecks, and various site locations found during core probing. You can often even bookmark objects that do not have the "warp to" option. This is useful if you are trying to position yourself on large grids. |
| | |
| | '''Important:''' |
| | * You can bookmark many entities in space, but if the location of the item is changed by force or is destroyed, the bookmark will only indicate the original location coordinates. |
| | * The 'Add location' command works both when you are at a dead stop or while moving - including warping. '''The coordinates you bookmark will indicate the exact location when you click the 'Submit' button and confirm the bookmark.''' |
| | ** One exception to the above occurs if you open the 'Add location' window in a station. If you undock and use that 'Add location' window in space, the bookmark will be set at the station and NOT at the point in space you were at when 'ok' was clicked. |

| Salvaging is one of the most profitable operations in the EVE universe. During your agent missions, you will probably leave lots of wrecks behind after engagements. A ship fitted with both PvE and salvage equipment will not be an efficient way to complete missions. Most mission runners bookmark their wrecks, complete their missions, and return to bookmarks for salvaging with a dedicated salvage ship.
| | '''Tips:'''<br> |
| | * Don’t try to write labels and notes in stressful situations - just take the necessary bookmark. The client will give an automatic label to the bookmark. You can even use the same label for different bookmarks. Because their coordinates are different, they won’t overwrite each other. |
|
| |
|
| If you are in PvP or military operations, a direct approach to any celestial object could create potential risks. You could end up in a trap, be easily hunted down, and killed. For that reason, there are sets of tactical bookmarks used for this kind of situation. There are also observation bookmarks, safe spots in space, bookmarks for blockade running from a station, and instant warp-out bookmarks.

|
| Whether you are a miner, explorer, a combat capsuleer, or just a traveler, you will be in need of bookmarks for various reasons. From the first days of your capsuleer life you could start creating your own bookmarks without needing to train any skills at all.

| The third and quickest method for adding a book mark is to use the short cut keys to bring up the "New Location Window".
| |
|

| |

|
| The default short cut for doing this is "CTRL+B" and this only works when in space. The window functions in the same way as going via the "Add Location Button" in the "People & Places" window.

| == Bookmarks in Space ==
| |
| With the release of Phoebe in November 2014 bookmarks now appear in space by default. Personal bookmarks look like a small pin. Corporate bookmarks appear as a small pin with a star on the top.

| 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. Ideally, you should fit a fast frigate to establish the bookmarks. | | Tactical Bookmarks around a station represent an important category of Observation Bookmarks.

| At a minimum, 16 bookmarks are recommended. The undock path is used as the starting point to describe the other bookmarks:
| |
|
| |
| Three "Insta-Undocks" (One on-grid, one off-grid, and one that "bends the grid").
| |
| Two bookmarks that represent Insta-DOCKs immediately above and below the station.
| |
| Two more bookmarks further above and below the station, respectively.
| |
| Two bookmarks to the left and right (port and starboard) of the undock path, respectively.
| |
| Two red bookmarks immediately behind the undock path.
| |
| One "safe spot" bookmark at an off grid spot situated in a random direction away from the station.
| |
|
| |
| 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.
