Only Black Ops can find safespots via the scanner and they won't be out until post-Shiva.

Well this will be a feature limited to the pilots of the special frigates, so it's not like we'll see them on every corner. As well chances are there will be some limiting factors as opposed to be able to jump right onto someone elses ship.
Yeah, just like there's hardly anyone in an Interceptor 
Logging off at a safespot will be viable. Your ship disappears after two minutes and it should definitely take longer than two minutes to find you with a Black Ops frigate.
Don't forget there will be a countermeasure, most likely.

I'm a bit so-so about the whole thing.
Safespots need to be discoverable but it shouldn't be as simple as right-click->warp to, imho.
Perhaps it shouldn't be 100% accurate and, instead, gets you closer than 1M km or something.

I posted this idea ages ago on another thread about Black Ops frigates so I'll repeat it here.
My idea for discovering safespots is based on two skills (Deep Space Scanning & Multitasking), one module (Deep Space Scanner), and a new cooperative gang.
Basically, the Deep Space Scanner module can only be used with Black Ops frigates with the appropriate requirements plus level 1 in each of the above mentioned skills.
The process of finding a safespot requires three team-mates who are all in Black Ops frigates equipped with Deep Space Scanner modules. These pilots can form a special gang specifically designed for finding safespots. Flying a Black Ops frigate also opens up a new scanner.
Each pilot must be at least 1M km from the other and, when each of them have located a target on the new scanner they must hold it for 30 seconds (an indicator will show the countdown) at the 5 degree setting before the "warp to" feature is active.
They can then warp to the target with the rest of the gang (unsure about the black ops gang and normal gang being usable at the same time).
The two new skills could reduce the length of the countdown per level or something.
