m Fixed observation bookmark links

Tactical Bookmarks around a station represent an important category of Observation Bookmarks.  When entering a new system for the first time, you should build a simple library of bookmarks around your home station.  (i.e. If you are new to the UNI, it is a good idea to practice this exercise on Aldrat - PTS.)  Ideally, you should fit a fast frigate to establish the bookmarks.

At a minimum, 16 bookmarks are recommended.  A printed picture describes the plan better: [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/w/images/1/16/Warp_Tacticals_Basic_%281%29.pdf Warp Tactical Around A Station]

For those who are a fan of the book Ender's Game, the picture below realigns the mapping of the bookmarks.  [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/w/images/d/db/Warp_Tacticals_ENDER_%284%29.pdf Ender's View of Warp Tactical Around A 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.  Accordingly, Ender would articulate that when you undock, you are really "falling."  Thus, the red bookmarks represent 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 the next time you undock, try to turn around and burn towards the hypothetical aggressor, and enjoy getting stuck bumping into the station.)
