The gain would be that if you set a bookmark anywhere in a system based off the star as a fixed point you can come back to that bookmark say 6 months down the road and it now becomes a good safe point that is so many AU's away from any highly traveled route. This of course wont work if the post above you is put in place as it will be a defined point on a grid. I guess what I was trying to say is that it would be nice to bookmark safe spots outside of warp paths between celestials or gates or whatever.
Which I think, is what you should have said the first time around. Suggesting a mechanic without describing it's real purpose in the context it's supposed to exist, is usually the faster way to get your idea ignored/rejected by any developer. I'm not trying to bash you OP or anything.Just trying to explain that devs are not stupid. They know how their systems works, what they can and can't really do in valid time and if something's possible or not. A mechanic without purpose will always be dropped, in favor of one with a purpose (short or or long-term).
"Why don't we have a way to bookmark safe spots outside of warp paths between celestials or gates or whatever?"
Will probably get better results. If it's done by design then you can judge for yourself if the feature is something you believe needs to change or if it's an oversight someone will take note and deal with it since you'r the one mentioning. Somebody might have even asked it before, and heard the answer too *shrug* Asking your questions the right way goes a long way people 
As for the the bookmarking safe spots. We have but it's actually part of the content. Go out and make em with an interceptor or a cov-ops. This will actually require you to fly to region and experience how to find the safe spots you want. If you'r not up for it this is an MMO and you should have buddies that like to go out and create tacticals and safe spots for various ops and squads.Fly with them to get to know them as well.Fortunately you can share corporation bookmarks,altough i would really appreciate a fancier way to share bookmarks (ahem bookmark addons). In other words, this is a component players will use as part of their gameplay. Replacing it with a fixed ui component (warp in system, open some sort of map and create your safe spot where you want it), will greatly diminish it's tactical weight and remove that from players who might actually like that.
If you think that the current way provides a hindrance to your gameplay by all means explain how :)
