Bookmarking Guidelines

We live in one of the safest areas in EVE Online; with little threat towards us. That is if we are doing great at defending our space and organising proper fleets. But, that organisation also helps you to find new income and fun opportunities! In order to do this, we need crisp and clean information. The better your information, the better your ability to address challenges!

In this guideline you will find a plethora of tips, requirements and recommendations regarding the usage of bookmarks within Evictus space. We ask you to try and follow them as best as you can.

For those who may be new; a bookmark is a saved location within EVE that allows you to warp to it. EVE does not allow travel along vast distances without the use of objects to warp between; but by creating bookmarks you can access content that may not be accessible in a normal manner.

You can create a bookmark in two ways; both which have benefits and downsides.

One of these ways is by creating a bookmark in the middle of space while you're warping. We've written a handy guide under our training section with the name “Traversing hostile space safely” that will address this as a so called “safe spot”.

The second way of bookmarking is directly onto the item you want to bookmark. For this, you right-click the object and select save location. However, do not save signatures for wormholes from your probe scanner. This will potentially kill our fleets. Instead, if you're saving a wormhole, you warp to the wormhole at range and bookmark the icon of the actual wormhole itself.

In our space we find more than just wormholes or combat sites whenever we scan the signatures in the system. In order for our signatures to be visible to everyone, we opted to choose for the website https://www.deepsafe.xyz.

By using this website, every member can see which signatures have been scanned prior and which have not. Please reach out through the #academy channel on Discord if you are unsure how to use Deepsafe; we would be happy to help you!

Deepsafe does NOT support Drifter Holes. Please ensure that these are communicated correctly on Discord.

We need to establish a few baseline principles; please follow them as best you can.

• 1) Report all WORMHOLES and SIGS in Deepsafe
  Deepsafe.xyz is a Legacy-Controlled tool which allows you to log in and manually add sigs to the space you are exploring. Please log everything in deepsafe, and delete any redundant/old logs. Deepsafe does not currently allow for us to upload drifter wormholes (the ones that spawn at beacons).
  
  
• 2) Report all WORMHOLES into #wormholes on Discord
  Use our #wormhole channel to log all wormholes, including wormhole chains, drifter holes, and regular holes. Include details about life-cycle, size, and destination if possible.
  
  
• 3) Do not put any PVE content into the wormhole folder.
  We want to be able to keep our bookmarks clear and managed in an effective manner. Adding random PVE signatures creates clutter that obstructs defense of our space.
  
  
• 4) All signatures for wormholes MUST be limited to a period of 2 days.
  By setting your wormholes to a maximum of 2 days we enable ourselves to have the system automatically clear out bookmarks in time. A wormhole lasts for 24 and sometimes 48 hours maximun. Any and all bookmarks without an expiry date will be removed.

One of the most important things is that we bookmark wormholes in a quick and effective way. In the following section we will outline the requirements for the bookmarks. Keep in mind that having good bookmark names makes our navigation a lot easier and it becomes possible to save you too!

Please be aware that this is important for us to have correct, speedy and effective intel. It allows us to navigate our space in an effective manner. If you do not know where the connections leads towards; please get into a fast ship and find out. Information is king.

We currently do not accept PVE content within the wormhole folder.

If you do need to save a PVE-related signature, please put this into the “TEMPORARY” folder with an expiry of 3 hours.

Our member Colonel Tosh has created a guide on how to share bookmark folders with others. You can find it in our Player Guides section under the name Shared Bookmarks 101
