Hey there,

i was wondering if it is possible to display the bookmarks you have (of the system you are in) in the overview? Just like Planets or Stations are displayed. I couldnt find anything in the overview-setting, but maybe i am missing something?

any help is welcome!

You can't

You can however access any bookmark you have in the system your in by right clicking in empty space, it will list the bookmarks under the general info of the system (Planets, belts, stations, gates) and you can warp to them from there.

As mentioned, it can't be done.

Wish it could though. Possibly as a tick box per bookmark or similar. Sometimes it's not so easy to use the right click in space option, when space is full of stuff. (say, outside Jita 4-4, when someone's decided to dump shuttles from an orca.)

Woo! CSM XI!

thanks for the info!

maybe i will write a petition to ccp with a suggestion to implement this - or are there any reasons against it? i am kinda new around here, but i cant see anything game-breaking if this gets implemented.

Petitions aren't for suggestions on how to improve the game. Petitions are for issues with your account of actual bugs, the only thing that will happen if you petition a suggestions for future game mechanics it that you will be directed to forums and it can even result in actions against your account as petitions aren't meant to do that kind of stuff.

Edit: with latest patch the right click menu can now be accessed by right clicking in the top bar of your overview, so the whole idea of not being able to find free space outside Jita 4-4 is gone.

And to be honest, I don't want another thing on the overview that clutters it even more when I don't want it. The right click menu is actually very fast if you know how to do it and takes just a little bit more time to do then using a overview item

There has been some rumors and discussions about having BMs to be show on screen and overview but it might have been buried all together or it's implementation isn't as straight forward people had thought it would be.

You can also use the "stacked bars" icon at the to left next tot he system info for the right click menu.

If you want quick access to bookmarks, open people and places, and double click the group that your bookmarks are in. This opens them into a a new window. You can then place this window near your overview and right click and warp to them directly instead of fiddling with the right click menu with all the other options and celestials cluttering things up.
