| - | Safes are locations in space which you can mark, so you can warp to them in a later stage. You can make a safe spot by creating a bookmark mid-warp. This type of bookmark includes those that are positioned on the grid around a Stargate. This will make it harder for you to be scanned down by enemies because you won't be near any celestial bodies. Potential uses include: | + | Bookmarks are locations in space which you can mark, so you can warp to them in a later stage. A safe spot is making a bookmark that's not near anything enemies can naturally warp to. You can make a safe spot by creating a bookmark mid-warp. A tactical or "tac" is a bookmark made near a strategic point of interest, such as a gate or a station. |

| - | A [[perch]] is a bookmark located at least 150km away from a fixed object, typically a stargate or station. You should make perches in systems you frequent. Warping to a perch puts you on grid with your target so you can observe the target at a reasonably safe distance that also allows direct warping. | + | A perch, tactical, or tac is a bookmark located at least 160km away from a fixed object, typically a stargate or station. You should make perches in systems you frequent. Warping to a perch puts you on grid with your target so you can observe the target at a reasonably safe distance that also allows direct warping to the object. Minimum warp distance is 150km, so you want your tacs a little farther than that so your ship has room to get up to speed before warping. |
| === Aligned Safe === | === Aligned Safe === | ||
| - | An aligned (aka on-line) safe is a bookmark made while warping between two fixed objects (station, gate, celestial, etc.) It helps to be more than 14.7 AU away from anything, placing the safe outside the maximum range of enemies' [[directional scanner]]. The best spots are as far away from anything. It will do you fairly well as at least no one will have you on your locations grid. | + | An aligned (aka on-line) safe is a bookmark made while warping between two fixed objects (station, gate, celestial, etc.) It helps to be more than 14.7 AU away from anything, placing the safe outside the maximum range of enemies' [[training:game_mechanics:directional_scanner]]. |

| - | Unaligned (aka off-line) are relatively safer since enemies cannot do a partial capacitor aborted jump onto you. You will no longer be algined from your mutual startpoints. | + | Unaligned (aka off-line) are relatively safer since enemies are less likely to pass by you in warp. You will no longer be aligned from your mutual startpoints. |
| + | |||
| + | If you land in an new unaligned safe, you do not see combat probes on dscan, and you cloak you're safe. That's about as safe as you can get in eve short of docking in a station. There are additional considerations for capital ships, such as logoff traps that include a prober. | ||

| - | It is important to remember that these types of safe spots are NOT entirely safe. In fact a well trained prober can find you in under 30 seconds if they are lucky. To be far safer you need to activate a cloak after dropping out of warp. That again is not perfectly safe. Enemies may already be aware of that spot from earlier usage, and could have placed a bubble after you logged out from there, in which you will get stuck logging back in. | + | It is important to note that there are two major ways for enemies to find you in your safe spot. The first is combat probes. Enemies can use combat probes to find uncloaked ships anywhere in space. Keep an eye on your directional scanner for these at all times while you're uncloaked. The second is to just know where your safe spot is. They can do this by having combat probed you previously while you were uncloaked, probing down mobile depot or cargo containers near you, being in a fleet and system with you at any point while you were in your safe spot, or having the bookmark shared. This is why corporate bookmark safes are generally not trusted. Make your own safes. |

| - | === Docking Station Safe Spot === | ||
| This type of bookmark includes those that are positioned to ensure you can dock at the station as soon as you arrive at it. In some cases when you arrive at a station you will not be quite in range of the "docking ring", and will have to travel a short distance to dock. This can be fatal, so these bookmarks can be used to save your bacon. | This type of bookmark includes those that are positioned to ensure you can dock at the station as soon as you arrive at it.

| + | Note that these are not entirely reliable. There's up to a 15 degree variance in the angle at which you undock, which may cause your "insta-undock" to not quite be instant, though it should be pretty close. | ||

| In this way, the moment you undock you can warp to a spot straight ahead of you 200km from any enemies lurking outside the station - and from there to any other point you wish while being out of range of snipers and tacklers. | In this way, the moment you undock you can warp to a spot straight ahead of you 200km from any enemies lurking outside the station - and from there to any other point you wish while being out of range of snipers and tacklers. | ||

| - | When undocking, your ship does not come exactly straight out of the station. I believe the ship undocks anywhere within 5 degrees of perpendicular. The closer you are to perpendicular, the better your undock is for ships with poor align times. A good insta-undock will allow a cargo fit hauler like the Iteron V to undock and warp in less than 6 seconds (align time on this ship is 11+ seconds). Test your insta-undock with slower aligning ships if you have time. | ||

| - | Quality probers will likely be able to find a ship larger then a cruiser in under a minute so if you are spending time dodging the enemy in a hostile system it is best to create many safespots and jump between them randomly while you make more. Your jumps between safespots should be approx 298 000 000km (2 AU) apart or further when you jump between them to avoid probers locking and warping on to you if you are in a ship which is slow to align or you plan to stay at a safe for a few minutes. | + | Quality probers will likely be able to find an uncloaked ship in a safe spot in under a minute.

| - | When traveling through [[0.0]] or 0.0-0.4 (low sec) warp to your Gate Safe if you see any neutrals or enemies in local. If you happen to be travelling in a slow aligning ship 151KM should give you enough room to maneuver back to your un/aligned Safe. However, if you are set-up correctly and no one is at the gate, you may be able to align to the gate and warp to it. In performing this procedure you can minimize the chances that you are caught by your enemies. | + | When traveling through [[training:game_mechanics:system_security#null_security_space|0.0]] or 0.0-0.4 (low sec) warp to your Gate Tactical if you see any neutrals or enemies in local.

| If when you travel through the gate you catch a glimpse of someone chasing you, warp to your random safe check your scanner. Be on the lookout for any probes in space, or Covert Ops ships, as this may well be a give away that they are trying to probe for you. If this is the case the best strategy is to start bouncing safes. It is important to remember that a trained probe pilot can find you in under 27 seconds in the best case scenario. | If when you travel through the gate you catch a glimpse of someone chasing you, warp to your random safe check your scanner.
