How To Bookmark Locations Using Shared Bookmark Folders


This post is mainly a primer for Voyager Syndicate members on how to correctly bookmark locations, but perhaps other players and corporations could learn something from our bookmarking method. It may not be the best, but it's simple and works well in a small corporation.

General bookmarking

First of all you need a shared bookmarks folder. This post will not explain how to create one, so we are assuming that your corporation has already made one.

Next you should connect to the folder by clicking a link provided to you by your corporation or alliance.


After clicking the link, connect to the folder and make sure it is online.


Now you should be able to bookmark locations and share them with your team mates.

To make a simple bookmark, you can press L on your keyboard to open up your locations window.

Once there, click on "Add Location" on the lower right.


Then type a label for your location and find the appropriate folder. Also set an expiration date for the bookmark if necessary. Like if the bookmark is a PVE combat site, gas site or something else that might not last long, set it to expire after 2 days. If it's something more permanent like a safe spot or gate snipe, then set it to never expire. This helps to keep the shared bookmarks free from expired useless bookmarks.


Wormhole bookmarks

If you are bookmarking a wormhole entrance, do not bookmark it from the probe scanner with the exception if you are rolling wormholes and don't want to open it yet. New wormholes stay closed until someone scans them down and warps to them. 

Warping to the wormhole signature from the probe scanner will put your ship 5-10km off from the wormhole. Instead, warp to the wormhole signature and bookmark the wormhole itself from your overview. Then in the bookmark you will land at 0 meters on the wormhole.


When you create the wormhole bookmark make sure it goes in the "Wormholes" folder and that the expiration is 2 days as wormholes disappear after 16-24 hours, and also pay attention to the label. You should label it with a specific format to give your team mates information on the wormhole. 

First include the three letters of the signature ID on your probe scanner, in the above case it is FAR. Follow that up with the wormhole destination. If it's a highsec wormhole, type HS. If it's a lowsec wormhole, type LS. If it's a class 3 wormhole, type C3. If you don't know where it leads, just type WH. You can know where the wormhole goes based on the graphics, type, mass limits and other information.

Then after that type the wormhole type from your overview, in the picture above it's a K162 wormhole, which means it was opened from the other side. So the bookmark label for this wormhole should be the following: FAR HS K162

You can find a list of wormhole attributes from this page.


Also if you right click on the wormhole from your overview and select "Show Info", then you can see some information about the wormhole. If it says "This wormhole is reaching the end of its natural lifetime" then add "EOL" to the end of the bookmark, so it's for example "FAR HS K162 EOL". This means the wormhole will collapse within 0-4 hours as it is nearing the end of its life.

If the wormhole is on the verge of collapse, add "VOC" to the end of the bookmark label. This means that many ships have passed through the wormhole, and it may collapse due to the mass limit being reached.

That's it for now. Hopefully this post helps you in your wormhole adventures!

Nullsec Ratting Guide For Newbros

Doing combat anomalies or ratting as it's called can be done in nullsec with cheap and expendable ships. In this guide I will show you two T1 cruisers that can be used for ratting and you can make 15-20 million ISK per hour with these ships. Depending on where you live, you may need to use different ship fittings, these fits are optimized for Sansha space. In Sansha space the NPCs or rats as they are called (hence the term ratting) deal EM and thermal damage, and they also have a weakness against EM and thermal damage. So ideally you want a ship that deals either of those damage types to take advantage of their weaknesses, and you'll want to tank against those damage types. But for example in Angel space the NPCs deal explosive and kinetic damage, so those NPCs require different weapons and fits. Ship fittings For semi-AFK ratting I would recommend the Vexor which is a Gallente cruiser, or the Arbitrator which is an Amarrian cruiser. Choose whichever you have better skillpoints...

How To Bookmark Wormhole Signatures (Wormhole Scanning Tips)

This article will just be a primer on how to properly bookmark wormholes in EVE Online. We will mostly be covering wormholes from high security space (highsec) to wormhole space (w-space) in this post as Voyager Syndicate currently bases partly from highsec. Almost never bookmark from the probe scanner results When you bookmark a wormhole from the probe scanner results, you will land 5-10km off the wormhole where the signature is located. Ideally you want to land at zero on the wormhole when you warp to it from your bookmarks, to accomplish this you want to bookmark the wormhole from your overview. So first warp to the scan result, then bookmark the wormhole from your overview. However a fresh wormhole will only open its exit once it has been warped to. So the exception to this rule is that if you are living in a wormhole system and you are rolling wormholes (collapsing them through reaching the mass limit by jumping multiple heavy ships through them), then you can bookmark the new wor...

Rook PVE Fit For Low Class Wormhole Ratting

In this post we're going to take a look at the Rook, which is a Caldari combat recon ship. One of the interesting features of the Rook is that it cannot be detected by directional scanners, which makes it ideal for when you want to be stealthy such as when doing PVE combat sites in wormhole space. Another good feature is that the Rook can blast over 600 DPS with Heavy Assault Missiles, although it is locked to a kinetic damage bonus which doesn't matter in wormholes but if used in lowsec it's recommended to stay in Guristas space. I haven't tried this Rook PVE fit in class 3 wormhole sites, but it could be able to do some of the easier combat sites as well. One thing to consider in wormhole space is the fact that you will most likely use a Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU), and once that is deployed it will be visible on the directional scanner. To reduce your visibility on d-scan, consider dropping the MTU after the first or second waves of sleepers. This way your d-scan visib...
