I've long wanted to encapsulate these thoughts on contemporary safe spots. Sadly, this issue is terribly unimportant, and who the hell plays EVE in 2024, am I right? But the fire burns inside me nonetheless. And now it burns inside you as well. Bobspeed, Capsuleer.

While you're not wrong about the grid, safe spots like the ones discussed in the video are generally more about being not off-grid but also outside the range of the Directional Scanner (14.3 AU). These safe spots can only be found via Combat Scanner Probes.

That being said, closer off-grid bookmarks also have their uses, but wouldn't generally be labeled "safe spots". At least that's how I went about it years ago, I am also on a very extended break.
