I have a unique solution to the problem of instas that won't require any skill training or require having to give up slots on your ship. The way this system would work is that you would press a button to intiate your ship's Navigation Mode. When your ship is running in this mode, your warp accuracy is 1500M but you consume twice as much capacitor when you warp as well as taking a 50% penalty to all your weapon-system's damage capability. This would apply to all weapons to include drones as well. To prevent the system being abused, there would be a 5 min timer where you can't switch back to normal attack mode during that time. Once in normal mode, Navigation Mode can be reinitiated instantly. Also docking will reset the 5 min timer and set your ship back to normal mode. The beauty of this mode is that it would only be useful for travel and nothing else. Comments anyone?

On a separate note, I propose allowing BMs still in the game to help with mining ops and gate placement however I believe that no bookmarks should be allowed within 15KM of the jumpgates. Everywhere else is free game.

After thinking about the possible abuses with this system, I would also say that in addition to the 5 min timer, have it so if a ship is in navigation mode and warps to within 15km of a gate, navigation mode can't be switched off. This is done to prevent abuse by pirates who will just wait the 5 min timer out jump to a gate at 1500M and then switch back to normal mode to catch players coming through a gate. It would be almost as bad as a log-in trap. Besides if they want to do that, that's what covert-ops are for :-D

Agreed! I never thougt about that possibility with making 60KM bookmarks. Yes 200KM would be a better option. Thanks!

True but people will still have to go all the way out to 200km to create the BMs they won't warp in at 200km when in normal mode. It will still be the usual warp distances that we now have.

This isn't just part of a solution to the BM issue but also a way to facilitate CCPs goal of making 0.0 more habitable to those who currently choose not to venture out there due to the fact they don't have the money for BMs etc. This comment is actually a suggestion in tandem with my other suggestion concerning the invulnerability shell.
