The need for bookmarks had always been there but in short Starwalker was too lazy to do the necessary work to create a full set of bookmarks for any system:
- Station undock to avoid any station campers
o Station dock to avoid any complications when docking and being outside of the docking ring when warping in and having to approach the final distance manually
- Tactical, which is near a star gate or any other celestial like an asteroid belt:
o On grid, or typically up to 350km from the star gate to avoid camps and in null-sec to avoid camps with bubbles or from celestials to observe it
o Off grid, 1000km or more from any one celestial to be able to scan that celestial and ideally a number of celestials within the 14.3 AU directional scanner range
- Safe spot, which ideally is more than 14.3 AU from any celestial to reduce the chance that the safe spot will be scanned down
o Safe spot should not be created between two obvious celestial points such as from one star gate to another or from the sun to a star gate, to avoid being spotted by traffic simply passing by
Starwalker had some bookmarks but now had the usual problem when things are started in a haphazard manner – disorganization. No naming convention had been really used and even basic information about the type of bookmark and where it was positioned in system was missing.
Starwalker had no illusions about suddenly creating lots and lots of bookmarks but knew that he would start creating some in key systems and would now move to a naming convention such as
- Type | Celestial [short name or initials] @ Distance
