Welcome to one of the most important pages on this wiki. By maintaining a standardized bookmark system, we ensure everyone can navigate the chain, participate in content, and have the intel from people that have logged off.
Remember that this will be the difference between life and death, so let's keep it clean and efficient!
In our Corporation in-game text channel, there is an MOTD with a link to our Bookmarks. It is Teal in colour at the top and named “FSIDE Bookmarks”.
We have 3 bookmarks folders, Wormholes, Signatures and Tacticals.
Each folder follows a specific pattern. Below in “Signatures” a breakdown of each section.
It's also worth noting that for most bookmarks, the default expiration date should be 2 days.
For Gas, Relic, Data, and Combat sites, right-click the signature (sig) in your probe window, select "Save Location", add G, R, D, or C to the beginning of the sig name, choose the FSIDE Signatures folder, and save it. Example: D XAO-664 Central Blood Raider Survey Site (for a data site)
Tacticals don’t follow a strict pattern since they are situational. Just make sure their purpose is clear.
Some common tactical bookmarks include:
Before discussing wormhole bookmark patterns, there’s an important concept to understand: Dirty Bookmarks.
If you bookmark a signature from the probe window, the bookmark is ~7km from the signature's “true" center. This is a huge problem for wormholes. Warping to a dirty bookmark requires the player to pilot ~7km to jump the hole, leaving them vulnerable to attack. This is why these bookmarks are called “dirty”.
Therefore, you MUST warp to the hole. Once you’re on-grid with the wormhole, right-click it in space, or from your overview, to bookmark it. You do not need to do this for non-wormhole signatures.
Our naming convention for wormholes is: .[System Type] [SIG Letters] [S, W, or K]
After entering a new wormhole. Always bookmark the wormhole you came through as “*Home”. This way, to get back home, you just need to “follow the stars”.
