{{hatnote|This guide is provided as a tutorial resource on how to save your pod, or capsule, when you're likely to lose your ship in PvP. Simply going through this will help you understand but nothing beats practice.}} | |||
There are going to be times in PvP situations where you'll lose your ship and you'll find yourself in your pod. At the moment you are in your pod, you are in imminent danger of being "podded", which is when your capsule is destroyed, along with your current clone. When you lose your ship in PvE to rats, sleepers, and such, you are not in danger from the NPCs, however, you can be in danger from hostile [[Capsuleer#Capsuleer|capsuleers]], depending on the security sector of space you're in and/or if you're under a wardec. | There are going to be times in PvP situations where you'll lose your ship and you'll find yourself in your pod.

In order to successfully save your pod you first need to be prepared.

You will need to have a proper "Pod Saver" Overview preset created. Note that the default Overview provided to you when you first enter the game does not have what most PvP pilots consider to be an effective Pod Saver preset. | You will need to have a proper "Pod Saver" Overview preset created.

The concept behind an effective Pod Saver preset is to provide you a number of celestial options to choose to warp-to without extraneous choices that may prove to be fatal. For example, if you had options such as stargates, stations, you'd be warping out to locations that have a high probability of hostile ships present or that you'd be easily followed to, plus the added complication that you'd have a [[Timers#Weapon_Timer|weapons timer]] in effect and could not jump or dock-up. | The concept behind an effective Pod Saver preset is to provide you a number of celestial options to choose to warp-to without extraneous choices that may prove to be fatal.

Quite simply, when you know you're going to go into a PvP situation you want to be in a clone that you're prepared to risk losing. Many pilots will jump to or already be in a clean clone, which is a clone that has zero implants installed in it, or perhaps only combat skills hardwire implants. Experienced pilots are probably more prepared to risk non-clean clones. | Quite simply, when you know you're going to go into a PvP situation you want to be in a clone that you're prepared to risk losing.

< | The Pod Saver tab with your Pod Saver preset loaded is invaluable. Switch to it when your ship has been tackled and you know you have no chance of escape. Pick a planet or POCO and start spamming the '''<font color="yellow">"Warp to 0"</font> button to save your pod. Once you hit the planet or POCO, do not stop. Keep moving as you are probably being chased. Do not forget to switch Overviews to check, as the Pod Saver preset does not show enemies. | ||

Also, you could have an weapons timer in effect if you've engaged the enemy with an offensive module. [[Timers#Weapon_Timer|Weapons timers]] stop you from docking or jumping through a gate for exactly 60 seconds after your last offensive action. Once the timer expires you can dock up or jump. If you mouseover the weapons timer icon, it will show the time remaining. | Also, you could have an weapons timer in effect if you've engaged the enemy with an offensive module.
