Usefull astronomical data for safespot hunting here
If you scroll down that page there are some interesting conversions, (1 light year = 66,240 au's)
at first i thought the commer was a dot and i thought 'wait a sec - thats not right'

Shamis, you havent actually tried to MWD a million km have you? That would be a ridiculous waste of time, I mean, I've never heard of a safespot taking more than 4 and a half hours or so
No, the furthest I've MWD'd is 700,000 km. But I did it all afk, so it wasn't a waste of time. And it is possible for people to get a million km off of any warpable path even though its very rare.
Also for the very difficult safespots, the ones that were made towards the f11, but aren't in the same plane as most of the objects in the system because there is one stargate way above everything else are very difficult to triangulate. So sometimes when you get really close, and you don't want to go back through your last 50 bookmarks to try to find the one that is on the other side of the safespot, its just easier to start MWD'ing and go afk for 8 or 9 hours. This is of course assuming that you have a job or something that requires you to leave eve every once in a while.
There are only 2 safespots that I've found that took me more than 8 hours. And I think there are still cans at these spots, I'd be glad to show you where they are and see if you think you could find it in 4 hours. I'd be very impressed.

hey TheMiner hope this isn't your geddon our resident BS theif fraped stealing
Breaking the law
btw this isn't his 1st nor will it be his last so make sure u all know that when u make a SS and decide to leave a ship there, be prepared that it might not be there when u get back.

DOing a good safespot......do a deepsafespot of about 70 au....go to some planet and warp to the safe spot, making a boomark somewhere in between, go to some planet on the other side of the previus planet, and warp to the last safespot and do a new one in between. Now go to the first 70 AU safespot and warp to the last one and make a new one inbetween....
I'll be damned if anyone finds that unless he repeats your steps, but for that he actually has to know what you did and repeat it to an almost exact copy. Which is not very probable.

could you make a safespot safer by using mines?

Those do tend to be the best. It all depends on the shape of the system, if everything in the system falls in the same plane, then a safespot like that won't take long at all to find, but in certain systems, those spots are really hard to find.

lol, you mwded 700k? what a waste of time. i usually don't mwd unless i have it under 100k.. going afk for 9 hours trying to steal something pretty much guarantees that ship will be gone if the owner comes online.. or worse, you get tracked down and podkilled while afk-mwding. just ask toaster from burn eden 
anyways, this thread is a laugh, so many stupid and interesting ways of finding safespots and making them
keep it up 
in short, no safespot is safe, but anything more than 2000au from the star probably will never get found because no one bothers looking that far out.. its just highly impractical for both the victim and the thief.. there are certain safespots though that can be insanely annoying/fun/hard to find
btw scorp found, was 400au out.

Apparently it doesn't guarantee that the ship will be gone, because I stole 2 bs's that way. And its only a waste of time if you are actually there. You forget that most of the people that leave bs's in their safespots aren't all that bright. Also, getting tracked down and pod killed while going 30km/s along no obvious path, 70 au from the nearest object doesn't scare me for some reason.

The only good safe spot is docked, why you are leaving nice expensive ships in the middle of nowhere is beyond me, but if you are forced to make a safe spot I make mine at 1800au

No, this makes it easier. Especially you log-off, because you then leave a nice bunch of mines for us to find and wait for you at.
Stations are for docking, Space is for flying. Don't get the two mixed up.

There's also the added problem that mines aren't available currently.
