So just looking for a way I can fast warp to a bookmark when trying to break tackle.

Or even just align to a bookmark while fighting in a simple manner rather than trying to right-click in space, navigate the menu, click warp to 0, realize you've been pointed because you took 10 seconds trying to warp in a menu, and die.


An example would be if you're kiting a group of people off of a gate. You're in a cruiser and are fending off the first couple of fast tackle before their heavy tackle gets within scram range. You kill the first interceptor, and realize you took too long killing him and you have to GTFO. WIth some good manual piloting, MWD overheating, and a handy neut, you break the 2nd interceptors long point and begin to warp out. Here's where the problem kicks in. If you spend time trying to navigate the right-click menu to warp to a safe, the interceptor will re-establish his point while you finish aligning or while you were in the menu and you will die. If you warp to a celestial, the interceptor and his heavy tackle friends, courtesy of warp speed changes, will beat you there, and the same problem (if not worse because the fleet will also land on you) will exist.

There needs to be a way to align to and quick warp (you know, spamming the warp out button while on the edge of scram/point range so you immediately enter warp when the opponent loses it) to a bookmarked safe rather than having and needing a good 3-5 seconds to manually navigate the bookmark menu to warp to a safe location.


So can there be a way to add either bookmarks to the overview (like my navigation/celestial tab) or add them directly on my screen so I can click on them there?


Is there a negative consequence for this that I'm not seeing as well?

They promised to add it actually, together with a hotkey to open containers. Somethin like a year, or half a year ago, don't quite remember.
