The only "difficult" ones to create are some of the Gallente stations which seem to have a "speed bump" that throws your exit trajectory off at random. You can need multiple attempts to get them to work.



The Ruby Porto method (the experienced player that took the time to explain the best way to me).

step 1 warp reasonably near the station in a cloak warper.
step 2 work out where the undock is
step 3 turn on your tactical hud.
hint : the undock "angle" is always a compass cardinal line from the station, which can be replicated with your tactical hud.
step 4 align the line by moving your ship so a line on the tactical hud runs between you and the undock.
step 5 fly as far as you want along that line.

Regardless of station type that will produce a better undock insta than actually undocking does.

What's funny is, even the Erotica 1 billboards have guns..

On most stargates and stations you will find a CONCORD billboard, which will fire missiles for ~19dps, though these can be destroyed (do not shoot in hisec!). Destroyed billboards respawn at downtime.

That's kind of irrelevant to the point I was making, which is:
How could you possibly think that using bookmarks to warp away from stations quickly is an exploit?



Perhaps "exploit" is the wrong word. More perhaps an "unplanned use" of bookmarks.

Welcome to EVE, where "unplanned use" is the norm.

Almost sounds like an exploit. Or an awful lot of trouble just to undock safely.


Making a bookmark in space, now an exploit. News at 11.
