[ | In nullsec, wormholes, and Pochven, where [[Tackling#Warp_disruption_fields|bubbles]] can be used to suck people out of warp near their destination, "ping" bookmarks come in very handy. These are bookmarks on grid with key travel points such as gates, but far enough away that it's safe to warp to them, avoiding any catch or drag bubbles set up at the location. If roaming in an area where the group doesn't have these set up, you might be asked to create new ones using your high speed on grid. These are particularly important near any gate or other point of interest (e.g. a wormhole) which has nothing else within d-scan range, as without pings or off-grid scanning bookmarks it's impossible to get close to such a place and check whether it is dangerous. | ||
In any area where you spend any significant amount of time, having at least a few "tactical" on-grid bookmarks near everything of interest—gates, stations, hostile structures and friendly structures—makes a huge difference. | |||
For picket scouts, non-aligned bookmarks on grid with but at a nice long distance from whatever you want to picket are very helpful. | |||
Remember, re: bookmarks around gates, that people spawn about 15 km around a gate, measured from the edge of the gate rather than its centre, and that some gate models are themselves quite large. If a tactical is too close to the gate from the point of view of someone who spawns on the relevant side, it might not be much use. | |||
In combat, the fleet might need you to burn new bookmarks rapidly on the battle grid. This topic crosses over with that of warp-ins, and is covered further below. | |||
