Mid-point safes are the simplest and least secure form of safes. Simply create a bookmark while warping between two celestials. It is fairly easy to get the approximate position of a midpoint safe by using [[directional scanner]] which makes them easier to probe. A determined pilot can even locate mid-point safes with the directional scanner and mid warp bookmarks. | Mid-point safes are the simplest and least secure form of safes.
