Welcome to this class on Capsules or ~~what~~ are more commonly ~~referred to as~~ Pods.

Welcome to this class on Capsules or Escape Pods although in the Eve Online community these are more commonly called Pods.

The aim of this course is to minimise the number of ~~pods~~ lost in PvP combat. It is held primarily for new pilots plus any Eve University pilots who would like to practice the mechanics of saving a Pod from destruction. This has the benefit of minimising the embarassment of ~~pods~~ appearing on the ~~killboard~~. We will begin with a short review of ~~pods~~ over xxxx minutes or so, then there will be a practical exercise to reinforce the theory.

Destruction of your Capsule (Pod) is referred to as ~~podding~~. When your ship is destroyed in combat you will be ejected into space in your Pod. The Pod has no combat capability with limited mobility and a weak structure. Therefore you're very vulnerable in this Pod which can be destroyed like any other vessel. After podding your corpse will be left floating in space while you're returned to the body of your medical clone.

Destruction of your Capsule (Pod) is referred to as Podding. When your ship is destroyed in combat you will be ejected into space in your Pod. The Pod has no combat capability with limited mobility and a weak structure. Therefore you're very vulnerable in this Pod which can be destroyed like any other vessel. After podding your corpse will be left floating in space while you're immediately returned to the body of your medical clone.

Usually a pilot can warp off before they can be podded. In some circumstances you have a much lower chance of survival in your capsule e.g. in combat with a smart bombed fitted battleship or being caught in a warp bubble.

**'''~~Killboards~~''' typically deduct one point (approximately) from a pilot for each pod destroyed. This is used to calculate your score and the pilot's statistics that appear on ~~the~~ killboards. The more you lose the lower your score and statistics.

**'''Killboard Statistics.''' The Eve University Killboard typically deduct one point (approximately) from a pilot for each pod destroyed. This is used to calculate your score and the pilot's statistics that appear on killboards. The more you lose the lower your score and statistics.

**After Action Report (AAR) for fleets will record each loss and typically they highlight the pod losses as they are usually avoidable. Some pod losses are unavoidable e.g. You have honourably lost your ship in combat then the Fleet Commander ninja warps the fleet including your pod into an Interdiction bubble. A pod cannot fit a prop mod (propulsion module) like an Afterburner (AB) or Micro Warp Drive (MWD) so you cannot escape quickly and will probably be podded before you can escape the bubble.
