Safe spot bookmarks are one of the most important ways to use bookmarks. Safe spots(safes) are locations in space away from all charted entities. The only way to find a ship in a safe spot and warp to that location is by using combat scan probes. Although a ship can be seen in [[D-scan]], it cannot be warped to unless it is scanned down with probes. | Safe spot bookmarks are one of the most important ways to use bookmarks.

There are three basic types of safe spots | There are three basic types of safe spots: | ||
'''Mid-point safe''' is the simplest and least secure form of safes. Create a bookmark while warping between two celestials. It is fairly easy to get the approximate position of a midpoint safe by using the [[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 safe''' is the simplest and least secure form of safes.

Tactical bookmarks can be used to check the target grid before warping in or to prey on ships passing by, 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 points per axes, with 150km separating each bookmark. With this layout, almost every point around a designated area (e.g. 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 a target is 50 km away and a tactical bookmark is 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.
