== Making A Safe Spot With Navigators == | |||
Safe spots can also be made using [[Jove Observatory|Jovian Symbolic Navigators]]. The most basic method of achieving this is to create a bookmark between two celestials (as shown above in the 'How to create a static safe spot' section), then using a navigator to warp to a new grid instead of creating another bookmark in line with a third celestial. Given that the system is small enough, this can push you outside the "shape" of the system (meaning the shape traced by warping between the outermost celestials of a given system). Alternatively, if the resulting safe spot is within 10au of the sun (within activation range of the navigators), you can dynamically make additional safes by activating a random navigator from a given safe spot. This can be used to make a rolling safe, as described above, or quickly escape from an incoming enemy spotted on your directional scanner. | |||

Cool stuff goes here. | |||
=== Additional Notes === | |||
It is also worth noting that navigators are effectively [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function one-way functions], meaning movements are easy to replicate in one direction but are difficult or impossible to replicate in the reverse direction. This means that you should never make a permanent safe using navigators if the starting point is a celestial, upwell structure, or any other known point. This introduces the risk of an attacker with the correct navigators following the path to your safe. However, if you make 2 safes based on the same starting point but using different navigators for each, then an attacker that discovers one will be unable to backtrack to the starting point and your second safe will remain secure. | |||
Additionally, other computer science concepts such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography) salting] also applies. | |||
