As a more general tip, one of the best bookmarks you can ever have is one that sits pretty much right inside the station(s) you dock up at the most. Sure, if it's too close, you might bump off (which doesn't matter, as we shall see) and if that worries you, back off a bit and just place it (well) within zero range. Depending the the station, this may be as much as 40km closer to the station than if you warped to zero on it.
GǪnow, whenever you intend to dock at that station, set it as your destination, manually warp to your well-below-zero bookmark, and activate the autopilot while in warp. The instant you come out of warp, you will be a long way away from the normal warp-in spot so any ganker lying in wait might not even be in range to shoot you; you will have zero chance of having to slow-boat it that last bit, because you are already within docking range; and above all, you will pretty much seamlessly transition from warp-invulnerability to docking invulnerability because the autopilot will trigger the instant you are fully out of warp and dock you automatically (this is why bumping off the station doesn't matter GÇö you are already docking when that happens, so the process will go through regardless).
For extra fun, create one of these insta-dock bookmarks right on the undocking ramp of some heavily trafficked station and warp to it. With a bit of luck, you'll massively bump someone who just undocked, ruining their align and triggering the gank reflexes of anyone watching (so they go red in local and you can now add them to your list of known suspects). Or maybe there will just be a lot of swearing in local, and that's fun tooGǪ GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Quote:Sure you can spend a little extra tanking your hulk... but at most it will take a whole 2 Catalysts to kill you're overly expensive mining ship. What are the CONCORD response times for the various sec levels again?
Quote:For a game that is PVP oriented, why the hell would you make the ships that gather the resources to build everything such a lack of variety and make them weak on top of that. Because resource collection units are traditionally very weak and need a lot of protecting from other units.
