The primary aim of this course is to minimise the number of pods lost in PvP combat and the intended audience is new ~~pilots~~ with limited experience of Eve Online game mechanics. Secondary aim is to provide ~~tackling~~ practice using the capsules as small, slippery targets.

* ~~Pod~~ saving ~~pilots~~ only need sacrificial Shuttles or Noob ships that ~~could be~~ stripped of all modules.

* Pilots undertaking pod saving practice only need sacrificial Shuttles or Noob ships that have optionally been stripped of all modules. Don't attend the practical component with a ship of any significant value.

* ~~Tackler pilots~~ need ships configured with a Warp Disruptor optionally fitted with local or remote sensor boosters for the shortest lock time. Weapons are not required.

* Pilots undertaking tackling practice need ships configured with a Warp Disruptor and optionally fitted with local or remote sensor boosters for the shortest possible lock time. Weapons are not required.

This class is primarily a practical exercise that is preceeded by a lecture delivered in the Class.E-UNI channel in Mumble, The theory component is just to provide a brief introduction for new players and could be omitted if holding the class as a practical revision for experienced students.

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.

We have a few ground rules for this class:

=== Ship And Capsule Destruction ===

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.

After podding your corpse will be left floating in space while you're immediately returned to the body of your medical clone wherever that is located.

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.
