There a few ways for a pilot to enter warp to move to a new location

* Overview List, How Not To Pod Save

==== Overview List - How Not To Pod Save====

** By using the Mouse Right Control Button a pilot can open a dropdown menu on the Overview List then select '''WARP TO WITHIN 0 M''', or the '''WARP TO WITHIN''' sub-menu to select the distance to arrive short of the destination. This procedure is not recommended when trying to save your Pod as it's too slow and cumbersome. If your overview is full to overflowing in a battle just going down the list to find a suitable location is making a bad situation worse by adding further delays. Only if you are lucky will you be overlooked or can escape in your Pod.

===Other Tactics===

When your ship is destroyed your opponent's target lock is released and they can immediately attempt to lock your capsule, this is the expected result. In some cases abandoning your ship before destruction may confuse your opponent as they keep a target lock on your ship when your capsule appears in space. If they have reached their limit of maximum number of locked targets then they have to destroy your abandoned ship or unlock a target before they can attempt to lock your capsule. Even if they haven't reached their ship's target lock limit the tactic may confuse them. Drawback is potentially your opponent or anybody else can board your ship and will then own it, the modules and cargo. If too many pilots adopt this strategy then this tactic will hold no surprise value and it will be counterproductive.

There is a 2 minute self-destruct timer fitted to every ship. If your situation is hopeless but your ship is likely to survive for more than another 2 minutes then you can use the self-destruct timer.
