Thirdly, you might have noticed a change in how warp-in points behave. Essentially they are now in the line-of-sight from origin to destination (except for celestials). This means that anyone that wants to have an insta-jump bookmark needs to create one for each incoming direction (e.g. from some stations, other stargates, etc..). Trying to cover all options will be quite a task. For those that have a pretty established route, it certainly might be worth it, and they can be rewarded for that effort, but somehow I doubt that everyone will do that.
Well LeKjart, all this is a great step into the right direction, but now that you end up at the gate you came from, your instant-jump bookmark will always work.
For example, if im going from fountain to empire space, and want an instant-jump bookmark in FD-MLJ, i dont need to make one for every planet, or warp to a planet before then warping to the bookmark, as i know ill always end up at the FD-MLJ -> X-M2LR gate, more or less 20km...
This new jumping change that makes instant bookmarks MUCH more easier to use AND added with the new targeting times, means its now impossible to guard an area from other people, be it to pirate them or to defend from pirates...
Personnaly i think you should have stayed with the idea said a month or more ago, where large objects such as gates or stations would have an "anti-warp bubble" around them of like 20km, so if you try to warp to a bookmark that would end you up 2km from the gate, you cant use that bookmark.
Of course that would be harder to code, so theres the easy and imo, even better solution (especially if you re-read how ships travel faster than light speed (warp))

The only problem is that these capacitors can only efficiently pick up signals from gravity wells of certain size or above, with the minimum being a small moon or a cluster of asteroids.
Meaning every bookmark that is not an "official" bookmark (bookmark of a station, ssytem, moon.. anything bigger than a roid basicaly) shoud lbe deleted... so no instant-jump bookmark, no "middle of nowhere" bookmark... alot more PVP and no more of the passive hiding where you just warp somewhere 20AU from everything else, if you want to hide you need to warp from moon to moon and keep moving...
This would make it both more realistic AND add more PVP into the game atm, while people not interested into PVP can still run away from campnig gates with 3 MWDs mounted, but not hide in the middle of nowhere to bug everyone else
