Wormholes

I guess each and every group seeks the best system for their own needs, we use a mapping tool and still retain this convention. The convention was actually developed and used before the corporate bookmarks were introduced to EvE, Aquila retains the system because of a multitude of nuetral and awoxing toons we utilize for our purposes. It is fine if other groups don't want to use the same concept, but for us this system provides great benefit.

I have removed a rule breaking post and the one quoting it.

The rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

Mcpate came up with a new BM convention with our move from Low Class wormholes. Now that we are in big boy space all bookmarks look like this:

Here --> There

Good point about using the name of the current BM to identify the "friendly name" of the system you are in without looking at the mapper. Although, i still can't imagine anyone navigating from one branch of the chain into another (for a CTA) without looking at the route on the mapper, and in that case, it shows you where you are anyways...

I think i will start dropping a generic random BM into the system with its "friendly name" to avoid redundancy of writing it in every other bookmark in the system


I do that, yes. Also, when you open your system map, the WH you just came through is marked on the map as "unstable wormhole" (although it's not warpable), in case you didn't drop the probes and warped off.

Thanks all for the feedback.
How do you maintain old/expired bookmarks? Since i play alone, every new day i login i simply wipe out by WH BM folder (since most of them expired already). Are there better methods?

I love seeing the different ways people label stuff. We have come a long way from the days of using an excel spreadsheet to map hahaha

C3 static is C3 Any hole in there is 1,2,3,4 or 5 etc. Then in 1 you name each wormhole ,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 This could get really confusing with a deep chain but we rarely go more than 4-5 jumps down. And Omega always leads to home.

Well this is the system we are supposed to use if everyone could bookmark correctly.

Well, we usually have more then 10 wormholes in our current connected chain. Imagine you are scanning with your scan alt somewhere in the chain, another scouts finds pewpew in a different part of the chain. Quickly look at the mapper where he is in relation to you. In the mean time, a fleet is formed in the home system wich you join with your main. You rush your own scan alt to the system, to have extra eyes while you move your main with the fleet from the home system. You now have to navigate 2 pilots, not only that, there is a lot of chatter on comms from the FC and scout, you have to keep up with fleet commands, and keep an eye on your scout for anything you see.

It's pretty easy to loose sight of where you currently are in situtaions like this

There is way too few information on that systems, a good BM naming system need to:
• Be easy to read
• Have all the information needed
• Be easy to understand

There for I present you LTBMNMC5.0

Here is an example BM

0101J111111C5H296300015001230MSTSO

And the correspondent return BM

0001J222222C5K162300015001230MSTSR

This BM system supports:
• All 5000 systems in eve,
• All WH types,
• Chains of 99 wormholes,
• Max mass allowance,
• time it was created,
• Solar systems with 99 wormholes,
• Max mass per jump,
• Mass status,
• Time status,
And it can be read at glance, and it’s easy to understand.

The important part is that each wh get it's own identity. It doesn't matter that much which of the methods posted you use. They all have the same common denominator. They all name each wh something different.

I kind of like the idea of K162 holes into our home system going reverse letter-wise (C5z, C5y, etc), but we don't do that. As long as they are named differently than the others, you can see where they are. The only time this will be confusing is if you DON'T use your corp/alliance's mapper. We make our bookmarks this way specifically so that people use their mapper. It is set as my home page, so one click and i can see a visual of the entire chain. That way it doesn't really matter what you call each hole.

If we named them "Icecream", "Tomato", and "Sea Bass", then when your FC says you have a fight in Tomato, you click your mapper, and see you need to look for the Icecream bm and then Tomato.

Easy.

We name our return bookmarks the same way. In the above example, if your scout said you had targets in Tomato and you were in Sea Bass, then you would just look for the Tomato bm. It doesn't matter which "direction" the wh is going.

P.S. We don't use names like Tomato, it was just an example of how what the names are, isn't that important. We just use the normal C5a. C5b, C3a, etc.

We just name them class of system and the last three digits of the Jsig, ie C3 456 or something.

If it goes home, it's named "Home" or "Home via C4" ect

If it goes to Highsec or Lowsec it's named LS Tama or HS Amarr.



If it's anything too complex it's a pain for newer members without really giving much extra information. Everyone should have siggy open all the time anyway and Navigate using that..
