add an "expiration date" too so BMs just vanish once it's reached (deleted on downtime)

As a WH Scout i love this feat.

So far most of my WH life consisted off:
Thinking up of names for BM's, and copying them 10 times
That is at least 10 copys for about 10-15 BM's of sig's
All sorted out in cans, and carefully dropped out in pos
And that is for 1 WH on 1 account.
Hoping players log in before the cans pop.
Putting them in Hangars would be to much chaos, thus
cans proved to be the best solution.

I won't miss that at all

YES! Thank you CCP! We've been waiting for this feature for what seems like an eternity. ;-)

However, I'd like to ask why you did not extend this to the Alliance level?

And I hope you understand that we need this feature to be improved even further in the future. A corp role etc would be nice.

Time will tell if the 250 BM's limit will need to be raised. For my Corp and other WH corp's alike I doubt it. We recycle BM's every day. But for the large 0.0 alliances out there it might pose as a problem.

Also, if you decide to expand this feature in the future; please consider having player-restrictions on corp-bookmarks folders.


Anyway, thank you CCP :)

Now everything is server-side (folders too) is there a valid reason why we cannot share those bookmarks between accounts/characters WITHOUT having to copy them into a can etc?

It would be in CCPs interests to make it possible as you must have an incredible amount of duplicate bookmarks.

Now that WOULD be awesome, rather than just "nice" Blink

a) 250 bookmarks is too low, way too low
b) creation should be restricted to a special role

Make amount of corp BMs skill related, so our beloved CEOs have something to train Twisted
Like 100 or 200 extra per skill level.

This NEEDS roles for creating them, viewing permission would be great too.

It will make my life easier now, when finding gravs for corp.

thanks CCP this helps us in WH so much and is a long time coming...

would be nice if it told where the bookmark went or what kind of location it is. For example if there is a gravimetric site on grid where the BM is then that info is displayed in the corp location window. This would help get rid of out of date BMs that no longer lead to the intended target. It would also protect against trolls who put safe spots at possible enemy poses.

Also it would be nice to have an option to express send a BM once every few minutes for the times when speed is super important.

Dude Shocked You were doing it wrong. Use a jettisoned small standard container instead of a jetcan. They don't disappear, ever. And why copy the BMs TEN times?? Everyone who needs them takes them, makes one copy and puts it back.

If people keep taking BMs without copying them back to the container, use an Audit Log Secure Container, check who was the last to take something from it and bust their ass.

It should be possible to cap the number of bookmarks per character to help corps reduce vulnerability to gaming the system.
I would also like to have the option to require a certain role to add bookmarks but if the first suggestion of this post is implemented I suspect this one would not be needed.
Finally, a person creating a bad bookmark could delete it right after its use if fulfilled and before someone could investigate it. I suggest instead of deleting a bookmark a player would only be able to queue for deletion and only once there is no space for new bookmarks would it be deleted (but perhaps only visible to people with the communications officer role}

Thanks for adding this feature... finally Blink

It's a tool, players can and will use it in whatever way they like. If someone ganks a corp member with it, hillarious. He made content, this will be for-the-lulz and stories are going to be had. It's like giving a kid a fork, if he stabs other kids with it, that's not the fork's designer fault, it's the kid's parents who didnt do their job. I don't see an issue with players using corp bookmarks in a creative way. :)

@ CCP,
you deliver. Keep rockin' !

This is pure awesome.

I love the last part, this and moving fittings to server site is going to make things much easier for those of us who log in from time to time on our laptops. Not to mention re-installing situations after hard disk crash.

Are there any plans to move the overview settings to the server also? And maybe introduce corp overview setting presets?

Regards


THIS^^ Please! Plus increased fittings capacity!

Very nice Tuxford! A much needed addition with lots of thought behind it! I think they can stop reminding you of that particular server incident now already.

CCP, what about Alliance BM's?

We live in a WH as an alliance, not single corp. We have to share BM's with other members of alliance. This can still be PITA if BM's are only avaible corp wide. Thou its still less pain with current system, as only one person from a corp have to grab BM set from GSC.

someone above me mentioned timers on BM's. For a WH that would be great. Set for example a 25h timer on a WH BM while creating it, or 3 days on any site while leave it with unlimited for poses, safespots (never know when You get back to that particular WH), etc...

Now if we can have them appear in the overview when you in that system and warp to them like other objects that would be even better.
Love this by the way, will make WH sharing much, much, much.. easier

Thing is that when they moved our "local" bookmarks to their server, they deleted all the folders... At least I have big blob of 254 random bookmarks under one folder in sisi now... I hope that the dev responsible about this action doesn't honestly think that I'm going to sort those by myself again.
Apparently folders are still stored locally and get linked to bookmarks as before. False alarm. My bad.

Dear CCP,

Firstly, thank you very much for introducing Corp Locations AKA Corp Bookmarks. It's a fantastic development.

One request though please:


  • Please make the ability to delete other people's Corp Locations be higher level than "Communications Officer".


I, and I would assume other CEOs with mature members, currently enjoy entrusting their members with the ability to send Corp and Alliance mails about important or interesting topics in case Directors/CEO are not available to get a message out.

But ensuring the future fidelity of Corp Locations would seem to be a slightly more mission-critical issue with potentially worse outcomes than the risk of receiving a bit of extra mail spam. The loss or the altering of Corp BMs has the potential to cause worse outcomes.

Could the deletion of Corp Locations be limited to CEO and Directors? Or perhaps a role like Security Officer?

Regards,
Sparks

Oh wait we also moved the location folder structure to the server which means that no longer will your bookmarks be lost to cache issues on your end.
