=== Safe spots === | |||
Safe spot bookmarks are one of the most important ways to use bookmarks. Safe spots are locations in space away from all charted entities. The only way to find someone in a safe spot and warp to that location is by using scan probes. Although you can be seen in a directional scan, you cannot be followed unless someone scans your location with probes. | Safe spot bookmarks are one of the most important ways to use bookmarks.

=== Salvage bookmarks === | |||
Wrecks can not be scanned down. If you wish to return to the battlefield you will need to bookmark the location before you leave. | Wrecks can not be scanned down. If you wish to return to the battlefield you will need to bookmark the location before you leave. | ||
=== Instadock bookmarks === | |||
When you warp to any location your ship will land approximately 2500 meters away from the target. On stations, this means that you can land outside of the docking range and are vulnerable to ganks as you approach the station. This is especially dangerous at trade hubs where gankers may try to kill you. Instadock bookmarks solve this issue. | When you warp to any location your ship will land approximately 2500 meters away from the target.

=== Instaundock bookmarks === | |||
When you undock from a station your ship will be moving at maximum velocity towards a certain direction. By having a bookmark far in that direction it is possible to instantly warp off after undocking.<br> | When you undock from a station your ship will be moving at maximum velocity towards a certain direction.

The most common way of making an instaundock is to use a very fast MWD frigate. Undock from the station and burn away. It is also possible to use mid-warp bookmarks, celestial alignment or lucky signatures. The instaundock bookmark should ideally be far enough from the station so that it is not on the same grid. This way you will disappear from their overview after warping to it.<br> | The most common way of making an instaundock is to use a very fast MWD frigate. Undock from the station and burn away.

=== Tactical bookmarks === | |||
Tactical bookmarks are bookmarks that are on grid with a point of interest (such as station or stargate) but far enough that hostiles on the grid will not be a 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 far enough that hostiles on the grid will not be a 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.[[File:TacticalBookmarkLayout.gif|thumb|Tactical bookmarks placed around a gate.

Once you have established this collection of bookmarks around a station, you can extend the thinking to key stargates within the system. The "high ground" of a stargate is either the path that is furthest away from the sun or furthest away from your home station. | Once you have established this collection of bookmarks around a station, you can extend the thinking to key stargates within the system.

=== Bubbling bookmarks === | |||
Finding a good spot for a warp disruption bubble takes time. So if you think you may be camping the same stargate in the future, you will want to save the location where you want your bubble to be. | Finding a good spot for a warp disruption bubble takes time.
