WHC Bookmark Naming Scheme

Bookmarking

Corporate Bookmarks
Always bookmark every probeable site within the Home System. Save the Bookmarks in the Wormhole Campus folder under Corporation Bookmarks.

  • When W-Space systems are removed from the Mapper, it is your Job to clean up the OLD bookmarks! The entire Corporation is limited to 500 Bookmarks.

Wormholes

Right click in space and look under Corporation bookmarks, The way back will be at the top, other WHs are listed below.

  • Please add bookmarks in K-Space to contain the chain on the mapper.
  • Note that it is current campus policy to bookmark all holes, including k-space connections into Innuendo (i.e. *Eggs, *Z1H, etc.)
  • DO NOT BOOKMARK Wormholes from Scanner Results. Only Bookmark Wormholes while On-Grid from the Overview or in space.
  • Just keep in mind when bookmarking that * gets the current system name while . gets the destination system name and you're good to go (see below).

Holes leading away from Innuendo

Wormholes which take you further away from Innuendo are marked with a leading . (period), and to facilitate navigation and easy of removal we add the destination system name.

Examples:

Wormhole Bookmark
Innuendo -> Bacon .Bacon [XYZ]
Innuendo -> Eggs .Eggs [XYZ]
Bacon -> B2L .B2L [MNO]
B2 -> B/D1 .B/D1 [STU]
Holes leading toward Innuendo

We mark the way home with a leading * (i.e. the star guides you home), and to facilitate ease of removal we add the current system name. Note that except for certain very rare cases, the bookmark for a hole heading "home" is unique for a given system.

Caution: if you use the destination system on * bookmarks they become confusing as we'll have all kinds of *Inn bookmarks for example which makes it hard to quickly see what can be deleted when chains collapse. As a side-benefit, you can always tell what system you're in by looking at the * bookmark.

Examples:

Wormhole Bookmark
Bacon -> Innuendo *Bacon [XYZ]
B2L -> Bacon *B2L [XYZ]
B4->B3 *B4 [MNO]
B2->B/D1 *B2 [STU]
End-of-life Wormholes (that are not mapped)

For end-of-life wormholes that the scanner doesn't want to jump into the format is .EOL {type of space is leads to} [Sig id]

Examples:

.EOL Low [VVV]
.EOL C4-C5 [WWW]
.EOL dangerous [XXX]
.EOL HS [YYY]
Gate to gate connections

Sometimes when we find a k-space connection, we jump through a gate into the next system to look for more connections, if we find a connection we Bookmark the gates for ease of travel.

Examples:

Wormhole Bookmark
Eggs -> E2H (K-space) .E2H [Gate]
E2H -> Eggs *E2H [Gate]
Z1L -> Z2L .Z2L [GATE]
Z2L -> Z1L *Z2L [GATE]
Y1N -> Y2N .Y1N [GATE]
Y2N -> Y1N *Y2N [GATE]

We do this purely because the transition between using bookmarks in w-space for travel and movement and using gates on the overview is jarring and when you jump into Eggs looking for E2 and you can't find it due to it being a gate is annoying and opposing to our mapping scheme which was created so we don't need to rely on the mapper tool.

Deleting bookmarks

When holes collapse, you need to delete any bookmarks that were related to that chain (unless someone is stuck in that chain and still needs them in which case that person should delete them once they're out). Assuming the bookmarks were named properly, if a connection collapses with a given system name (e.g. B/C1), you should be able to safely delete all bookmarks with the name of that chain in it (B/C-anything in this case).

This is why it is important that * bookmarks have the current system name rather than destination. Otherwise you could have lots of *Inn bookmarks which require you to start looking at actual J-system names to know what needs deleting. EOL wormholes that haven't been explored aren't labelled well in that regard; however, there are typically no issues deleting them as no one has been in there anyway.

Sites

Due to the recent increase in corp bookmarks (250 -> 500), you can feel free to bookmark sites in systems in our chains as you would normally do in Bacon.

Here are some things to keep in mind though: for example, if a system, let's say a C4 which is 8 jumps down the chain, has 27 gas sites and they are not anything that we would care to huff, there is no need to bookmark them in corp.

The basic idea is that having gas/data/relic bookmarks in many systems not too far down our chains not only provides us the opportunity to possibly run them but also (and this, in my opinion, is a bigger selling point) provides quick warp-in points on any gank-gable fleets running said sites - without having to drop combat probes and very likely spooking them.

So again; feel free to bookmark sites in W-Space systems other than Bacon (and even in Low/Null if you find something that is likely to be run by locals). Just be mindful that we still don't have an unlimited number of corp bookmarks so don't go crazy if you see that we're closing in on 500.

  • Bookmarks can be made from the scanning results list
  • Standard format is "<sigtype> [sig id] <additional info>"
    • [sig id] = [ABC], [BCD], [EFG], etc
  • There are 3 types.


1. G(as Sites)

  • In C5 or C6 systems: if you choose not to bookmark anything else (besides WH connections, of course), please at least always bookmark the Instrumental or Vital Gas sites.
  • Only the first word is important
    • G [ABC] Barren
    • G [DEF] Token
    • G [DEF-2] Bountiful
    • G [GHI] Vast
    • G [NMD] Instrumental (Only found in C5, C6 class W-Space)
    • G [YUI] Vital (Only found in C5, C6 class W-Space)


2. R(elic Sites)

  • The first 2 words should be omitted.
  • Forgotten Frontier Recursive Depot
    • R [HJK] Quarantine Outpost
    • R [GHT] Recursive Depot
    • R [JHI] Conversion Module
    • R [ADH] Evacuation Center


3. D(ata Sites)

  • The first 2 words should be omitted.
  • Unsecured Frontier Database
    • D [ADF] Database
    • D [DHI] Receiver
    • D [FHI] Digital Nexus
    • D [FJO] Trinity Hub
