yeah true... so escape pods should only be able to be used by passengers. They fly away while they helplessly watch you burn and blow into peaices or win the battle.

I remember hearing somewhere you never lose your starship, so whats the point? escape pods are to get away from a doomed ship.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or thought of but I would like to seeescape pods as a means for players to escape from multi-passanger ships. They would then land at a completely random location on the nearest planet.
This would be great for if the ship owner gets linkdead and doesn't log on again or something like that.

not that i have seen lol the only thing i have seen close to it yet is when your almost dead your have a eject option. When this happens your get to ship your ship blow up and then you appear at the space station with all the damage you had when you hit eject. Oh and eject is not instant the flight computer plays into it based on the speed of it and how fast it repsonsed to you hitting it. At least thats what i have read

Multi-player ships have them. They are just like the ones in the Corvette mission. There are "controls" on the bulkhead that are labeled "Escape Pod." Click on it and you load into the place you launched from. Easy way for you to leave a ship if someone is not wanting to land and let you off.
I had heard that you take damage from using them, but that is only true if you are the ships' owner, it then acts as if you scuttled your ship and everyone gets wounds. Other than that, there really isn't any graphical esacpe pod, just a way to et off a ship without your friends having to land if you are the only one who wants to land.
