Looks like I'm getting into this a little late, but kudos to the CCP dev team. I love the 'warp to asset station' feature.

Another thing that will be very useful are the corp bookmarks. Unfortunately having everyone able to see them by default is a security risk. For example it makes sense to bookmark assets in space, and having everyone able to see them means a 1 minute old member can immediately locate all of them.

Worse, the corp bookmark system for wh corps means that even a brand new member knows which wormhole the corp is in. Is this something we really want?

So please, do make all parts of corp bookmarks role based - even just seeing them.

With the Bookmark/Location code being worked on, could you think about

* introduction an optional limited lifetime for a bookmark?

I found myself cleaning up a lot of outdated locations, to wormholes, sites, wrecks, etc.

Could we add a deletion timestamp for locations? and if timestamp is reached, after next downtime, the bookmark is deleted automatically from database

with locations now being stored on server, that should be doable?

valid bookmark duration could be infinite (as it is now for all), or a user-entered value in number-of-days

delete-timestamp=null / creation-timestamp + number-of-valid-days

all existing locations get an infinite lifetime

could be updateable later on via locations dialog if someone changes his mind about lifetime of a location

Apologies if this is a repost of an existing suggestion, didn't read the whole thread.

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

hey I'm curious how this works...

I probed out an 8/10 site in null sec. I jumped my prober to empire and then I saw some dudes turn up to start doing the site on my alt. I was trying to move the bm from personal locations into corp locations so I could get it with my alt and gank them but it wouldn't let me. Is it possible? Or only able to make it corp bm on creation? I tried copy the bm and put in hangar then drag to corp folder...didn't work. Neither did right click bm -> edit location (it only show personal location and sub folders).

I also think this is a great idea.....but I cant create a corp BM no matter how hard I try. Tried dragging from cargo. Tried create BM and the location wont let me select Corporate, just personel. Tried combinations of SHIFT-DRAG, ALT-DRAG......NO MAS !!!

If someone figures this out post the directions !!!

I had trouble at first also. You have to go into the people and places window and drag from personal folder into corp folder. If you have so many unorganized bookmarks in personal folder that you can't see the corp folder when your personal folder is open... then double click your personal folder to open it in a new window. You can then minimize it on the people and places screen. Drag and drop. ...just can't drag from your cargohold for whatever reason. And I can't seem to make a bookmark a corp bookmark right off the bat either... I have to make it a personal bookmark first then drag it down in the people and places window.
