A '''bookmark''' is a saved location, either of a "spot" (coordinate bookmark) or an "object" (object bookmark). Bookmarks can be used to warp to (when in the same system) or to add the location to the route waypoint list. Bookmarks can be personal (private) or shared. | |||

=== Connection link === | |||
Non "Admin access" users need a connection link to connect to a shared folder. To create a connection link drag the shared folder into chat, a chat channels MOTD or EVE mail. Clicking on the connection link will add the folder to the Location window, when having access permission, and not reached the connections [[#Limits|limit]]. | |||
When creating a new shared folder the connection link can also be dragged from the confirmation window. | |||
"Admin access" users do not need a connection link, they can connect to a shared folder via the "Shared folders With Admin Access" folder. | |||

While at first glance, an undocking ship appears to travel in a straight line, remember this is space and the orientation is in the eye of the beholder. Accordingly, Ender would articulate that when you undock, you are really "falling". Thus, the bookmark behind the undock point represents the high ground of any combat situation. (If you want to see it in practice, imagine someone is shooting at you from behind the station when you undock; try to turn around and burn towards the hypothetical aggressor, and enjoy getting stuck bumping into the station.) | While at first glance, an undocking ship appears to travel in a straight line, remember this is space and the orientation is in the eye of the beholder.

Once the collection of bookmarks around a station is established, it can extended 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 the collection of bookmarks around a station is established, it can be extended to key stargates within the system.
