The aim of this course is to minimise the number of pods lost in PvP combat. It is held primarily for new pilots ~~and~~ 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.

=== Bad Things Happen ===

When your ship is destroyed in combat ~~with other pilots~~ you will be ejected into space in your ~~Capsule~~. The ~~Capsule~~ has no combat capability ~~and~~ limited mobility. Therefore you're very vulnerable ~~and the Capsule~~ can be destroyed like any other vessel. ~~Then~~ your corpse will be left floating in space while you ~~are~~ returned to the body of your medical clone~~. Destruction of your pod is referred to as podding~~.

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.

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

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.

=== Cost of a Pod 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. Recommendation is to immediately upgrade your clone when you are podded ~~and~~ return to your medical clone in a station, 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.

**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.

**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.
