| * You know the moment it's possible to use your instant bookmark when your cursor, upon undocking, turn into the "plus" sign with a square in the middle. It will turn from a black arrow to the plus sign when your ship is done undocking and is ready to be commandeered. You want to instant undock right there and then. You undocked at all because you know there no interdictors on the station because you've read intel, OK? | * You know the moment it's possible to use your instant bookmark when your cursor, upon undocking, turn into the "plus" sign with a square in the middle.

| * Use the grill-like icon to ensure you don't inadvertently click a random ship or object in space, which will fart the contextual menu you get when you right-click random click-able crap in space. You don't want that; it's full if crap you don't need and none of the shit you want right now. | * Use the grill-like icon to ensure you don't inadvertently click a random ship or object in space, which will fart the contextual menu you get when you right-click random click-able crap in space.

| - | * Remember that ships undock from stations on a random vector which can be as much as 10 degrees off from the center of the undock vector. If you are in a ship which is slow to [[training:guides:Align|align]] you may want to stop your ship, wait out the undock [[training:guides:session_timer|session timer]], redock and try again. This is why you want to use the instant bookmark from //the moment// it's possible. Meagre seconds of delay will swing your ship toward this random vector and your instant undock will not be instant at all... the mega scan-res interceptors can nail you right there. | + | * Remember that ships undock from stations on a random vector which can be as much as 10 degrees off from the center of the undock vector.

| * Stopping your ship at the undock mean you can hit CONTRL+SPACEBAR **ONCE** and only **ONCE** post undocking. Doing anything else than that one move **ONCE** will auto-magically break your undock invulnerability timer yet your session timer won't bulge a pinch. You'll have to wait the session timer without being invulnerable. You don't want that. instant warp out or stop **ONCE** and re-dock. | * Stopping your ship at the undock mean you can hit CONTRL+SPACEBAR **ONCE** and only **ONCE** post undocking.

| * Repeated use of the same instant undock bookmark can be dangerous. Warp to it at random ranges and/or make a new one if you suspect that it has been compromised. | * Repeated use of the same instant undock bookmark can be dangerous.
