Poseidon-style safespots: Can you still make them within system confines?

Does anyone know whether it is still possible to make Poseidon-style deep safe spots?

I realize that you cannot get out beyond a certain distance from the edges of the system (?10AU) but am wondering whether the warp-quit-reboot dynamic still works within the available space. I tried last session and it did not work, but I was in unfamiliar w-space with a frigate … so did not have a suitably cumbersome ship for the job and did not have the option of swapping.


p.s. For those who don't know what i am talking about here's what used to be done .

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

Not that way no.

Now you land on the spot you were warping to and THEN warp off to the e-warp location.

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

The Poseidon Style Safes were 'dealt' with by CCP a while ago with a fix that you land at your destination and then warp to the emergency safe. There are other ways to make deep safes, abandoned fighters can be scanned down to get safes beyond the d-scan range of any celestial, in essence pocket safes. If you aren't in a WH the same effect can be accomplished by jumping through to a cyno (either by bridge or jump drive) and if the cyno goes down before the grid loads you will appear at a random (I think there are 4 set spots in each system) safe spot in system. Also clone jumping to a rorqual will get you a good safe as well.

Good luck and hope that helps.

Thanks. Not what I was hoping to hear, but thanks all the same.

Given that I can't do what I was hoping to try (and yes, I just landed at the destination when I ran the old poseidon method) I'd appreciate any thoughts on how I might, or might not, do what I want.

My 'problem' is a small w-space system where the planets are all over one side. I was wanting to try setup some safe spots out in the empty half of the system. Even the old sig/anom spawn BMs I have don't extend far into the empty half and every in-system location I seem to have access to is within easy DS of every celestial. Not much good for hiding :-)

Previously I'd have just poseidoned towards the sun and then built on that, but now??

In nOrmal space (k-space) probing down missions can lead to some pretty sexy safes I have an 150 au one no such luck in wh space so go with a cloak for hiding

yes, w-space sigs and anoms spawn within 10AU of celestials. I have a couple of old bookmarked sites in the empty half of the system and am working on extending them now. I don't have far to go b4 i am outside DS range of all celestials (and POSes), mebbe I will just leave a toon slowboating all day in the direction I need.

Incursions also give you a good supply of deep saves. I've only been able to take advantage of this once and didn't really check how far away from celestials they where, but purely on sight they looked pretty good.

covops with some overdrives cloaked overnight should do it. If you're sure the system is empty, use an intie :P

You used to be able to add to the overview, bookmark and warp to the secondary suns in wormhole special-effect systems. Typically they'd be a few 10s of AU off in a random direction. Awesome deep safes and yeah, you could just chill at zero on a Black Hole. Cool

CCP nerfed it with the 10 AU change thingy a while back. You can't warp to any bookmarked secondary sun any more - all you can do is "approach" them.
