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! This system is being updated to better match mapper, make chain navigation easier at a glance, and make deeper chains much easier to follow without guesswork.
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”. There is also “FSIDE Tacticals”.
We have 2 bookmarks folders; Signatures & Tacticals.
2. Tacticals is for safe spots, perches, locations of note, etc.
Note: Sort by folder in your locations pop-out window.
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 using the correct prefix.
Note: Signatures will now have no appended symbol.
Examples:
D XAO-664 Central Blood Raider Survey Site (for a data site)
G DMX-0932 Vast Frontier Reservoir (for a gas site)
Note: All scanned sites → Expire in 2 days
Tacticals follow a categorical naming scheme using Slashes to group and identify them.
The naming will appear as:
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.
For wormholes, **do not** make bookmarks from the probe window. You must warp to the hole, then right-click it in space or from your overview and bookmark it properly on-grid.
Dirty wormhole bookmarks are how you get somebody killed for free.
Instead of naming wormholes mainly by destination type first, we are now identifying them by **position in chain**.
The goal is simple:
* make the chain easier to read at a glance
* make mapper and bookmarks match each other cleanly
* make it much easier for people to move through chain without playing detective every time they undock
In home:
* `1` = our C4 static
* `2, 3, 4, 5, etc.` = any additional wormholes in home
* `A` = our highsec static
* `B, C, D, E, F, etc.` = other k-space connections in home
This system continues through the mapper and deeper into chain.
For example, if we go through our home C4 static:
* `11` = the C4 static inside that C4
* `12` = another wormhole in that same system
* `1A` = a k-space connection found inside that C4 static system
Basically, the bookmark name tells you exactly where in chain it lives.
Our naming convention for wormholes is: [Position] [Class] [SIG-ID] [S, W, or K]
Breakdown:
* The number at the front is the chain position
* The sig stays there for quick reference
* The number after the sig is the wormhole class or k-space security status
* The letter at the end tells you what kind of connection it is (list below)
Identifiers:
After entering a new wormhole always bookmark the wormhole you came through as “[Position] Home [SIG]”. This way, to get back home, you just need to “follow the money” and can quickly identify where you are.
For example:
In the C4 Static = 1 HOME XXX
In the C3 Static of the C4 = 11 HOME ABC
In the High-Sec Static of the C3 = 11A HOME XYZ
Why We’re Doing This
This should help with:
- cleaner chain navigation
- less confusion for people logging in later
- easier scanning handoff between members
- bookmarks matching mapper logic properly
- faster movement when things get spicy
The main thing is consistency. If everybody names things the same way, the chain becomes way easier to use for everyone else. We appreciate everyone and their efforts towards maintaining a hygienic map and organized bookmark collection.
FSIDE Bookmarking System (Simple Guide)
GENERAL
- All scanned sites → Expire in 2 days
-------------------------------------
1. DATA / RELIC / GAS
Format:
[Type] [Signature Name]
Type:
D = Data
R = Relic
G = Gas
C = Combat
Example:
D ELN-384 Central Sansha Survey Site
-------------------------------------
2. WORMHOLES
Base Format:
[Chain#] [SigID] [Class/Destination] [Type]
Example:
11 NXC C3 S
Numbering:
First hole: 11
Second: 12
Third: 13
Class / Destination:
C1–C6 = Wormhole class
HS, LS, NS = High-Sec, Low-Sec, Null-Sec
P = Pochven
T = Thera
D = Drifter
Examples:
11 NXC C3
11 NXC P
11 NXC T
11 NXC D
1A XYZ HS
1B ABC LS
etc.
-------------------------------------
STATUS TAGS (add to end if needed)
f = Frigate only
/ = Reduced mass
c = Critical mass
e = eol 4 hr
ex = eol 1 hr
x = expired (closure imminent)
Examples:
11 NXC 3 f
11 NXC 3 c
11 NXC 3 e
11 NXC 3 ex
11 NXC 3 x
Priority Order:
Type > Life > Mass > Size
Example:
11 NXC S e / f
11 XYZ W ex
-------------------------------------
3. CHAIN PROGRESSION
When entering a new system:
Return hole:
11 [SigID] HOME
(New holes in that system)
First new hole:
111 [SigID] [Class] [Type]
Second new hole:
112 [SigID] [Class] [Type]
Example:
11 ABC HOME
111 EXL C4 S
112 NHJ C3 K
-------------------------------------
4. K-SPACE (HS / LS / NS)
Format:
[Chain#][Letter] [SigID] [Sec] [Type]
Letter:
A = First K-space
B = Second K-space
Examples:
111A DNU HS K
111B LNA LS W
A XYZ LS S
-------------------------------------
TL;DR
- Numbers = path through chain
- Letters (A/B) = K-space exits
- Other Letters = indicate Wormhole Status and Type
- "z" = site (ignore chain)
- Everything builds forward logically
Goal:
Read bookmarks → instantly know path to content, help teammates, identify where you are, and how to get home quickly
