I am sure this is simply an oversight in how the game mechanics work since it isn't meaningful to be able to warp to a gangmate who is currently at warp but here goes... I doubt this is an exploit since it is possible to achieve the same goal albeit not as easily using the drain-your-cap technique or by using a noob ship or Frigate, etc.
Gang Member 1 goes to warp to any warppable destination.
Gang Member 2 attempts to warp to gangmate who is travelling at warp.
Gang Member 2 goes to warp and stops at a randomized spot (actually this is the point at which Gang Member 1 was when the game attempted to let Gang Member 2 enter warp).
Bingo, Gang Member 2 is now parked at the Rabbit Hole. All gangmates can now warp to Gang Member 2 and bookmark the spot for future reference.
It should be noted that this technique works best when using the Sun (aka Star) as a warp desintation because of the liklihood that nobody will find this spot by using the same technique since most people don't warp to the Sun unless simply sightseeing.
Users of this technique might want to travel at high-impulse speed for 1-2 hrs to ensure they are off the local grids that might be visible in case someone happened to get lucky finding their Rabbit Hole using the same technique. I'd recommend setting a course that is 90 degrees perpendicular to the original direction of travel but this is just my own Euclidian sense of how to do this, I am sure. |

Jacque you are making it too complicated.
During mid-warp just click add bookmark in 'People & Places"  viola |

You're the one who is yellow, not me. I'm going to log on w/ my main character, monitor your corp travel paths and gank you and all your members until you cry.
Corp 7660 rules with an Iron fist. When I have my main character on, I will have your Biomass in my hanager.
im still waiting...

OR you can just warp to a random moon and make a Bookmark half way. . . and then from that SS repeat the same process to make tracking the SS even harder OR just go like 200 au from the nearest thing. . .

get yourself some paper, a ruler, a compass, throw in a little high school geometry, then lots of practice, and youll be able to find those abandoned ships close to the system like that. better have a very fast ship for the final sprint tho

or just make a bookmark of the solar system and warp to it a bunch of times in a row.
