There are two main ways of creating bookmarks. | |||
If you wish to bookmark your current location there are two methods: | If you wish to bookmark your current location there are two methods: | ||

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. | 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”.

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. | 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.

* The old probe scanning system could be used to warp to arbitrarily far. This allowed making bookmarks that were hundreds or thousands of AU away. The safes that are nowadays called deep are just a pale imitation of the deep safes of the past.}} | * The old probe scanning system could be used to warp to an arbitrarily far location.

Never warp to within 'zero' of your safe spot. This will reduce your chance of being detected or compromising your safe spot location. And always move rather than sitting still, so even if your location is known your adversaries will not be able to land to you at zero. | Never warp to within 'zero' of your safe spot.

Tactical bookmarks are bookmarks that are on grid with a point of interest (such as station or stargate) but fare enough that hostiles on the grid will not be danger to you and [[Tackling#Warp_disruption_fields|drag bubbles]] will not drag you. They should be at minimum 200 km away so that warping between the target and the bookmark is always possible.<br> | Tactical bookmarks are bookmarks that are on grid with a point of interest (such as station or stargate) but fare enough that hostiles on the grid will not be danger to you and [[Tackling#Warp_disruption_fields|drag bubbles]] will not drag you.

Tactical bookmarks can be used to check the target grid before warping in or to prey on passing by ships, ready to warp in as soon as the victim arrives. | Tactical bookmarks can be used to check the target grid before warping in or to prey on passing by ships, ready to warp in as soon as the victim arrives.[[File:TacticalBookmarkLayout.gif|thumb|Tactical bookmarks placed around a gate.

Tactical bookmarks can also be used for fast repositioning on grid. 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, 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. if you have a target 50 km away and a tactical bookmark 200 km behind them you can warp to the bookmark at 150 km and land right on top of the target. | Tactical bookmarks can also be used for fast repositioning on grid.
