===Introduction ===

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

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

The aim of this course is to minimise the number of pods lost and pilots killed 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 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.

=== Costs Associated With A Capsule Loss ===

* ISK Cost

** '''Mandatory Medical Clone upgrade to save your skill points'''. You have to pay for your Medical Clone to be upgraded or you will lose skill points the next time you are podded. When you are podded and returned to your medical clone's body in a station it is strongly recommendation that you immediately upgrade your clone to prevent loss of skillpoints, preferably before you activate or enter another ship. For a simple introduction to clones refer to the [[Clone]] Guide, or for more detailed information refer to [[Messing_With_Your_Head#Body_swapping:_Using_clones_effectively | Body swapping: Using Clones Effectively]] Section from the [[Messing With Your Head]] Class. Upgrading can become a significant cost as pilots with high skill points ca be required to pay millions of ISK.

** Apparel. Any Apparel that the clone was wearing is destroyed (need to confirm).

* Reputation

**'''Killboard Statistics.''' The Eve University Killboard typically deducts approximately one point from a pilot's score 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.

**'''Commentary on Fleet combat.''' 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.

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, the rest of the fleet in ships can burn out of the bubble while the pod which doesn't have a propulsion module is easily destroyed.

=== Pods in Space ===

There are a few reasons why a pilot will find themselves in a Capsule in space.

There are a few reasons why a pilot will find themselves in a Capsule in space. In the circumstance where you Self-Destruct a ship you jump straight into your medical clone and don't appear in a pod in space.

* Person-versus-Person (PvP) Combat

By far the biggest reason for Pods in Space is the destruction of a ship in combat.

* Undocking From A Station

Sometimes you may not want to move any of the ships in a station and undocking a Pod allows you to move to another station. To Clone Jump you have to be out of your ship in your pod and in the rush to undock you may forget

to enter/activate a ship.

There are some circumstances where you will not lose a pod e.g. Sansha Incursion sites when the rats don't target pods or Concord sanctions destroy your ship.
