These are the times where you should switch to your Pod saver overview:

*The FC calls a scatter or just says to get out.

*The FC calls an order to be prepared to save your pod, a "scatter" command, or just says to get out.

*You’re being ~~targeted~~ (you see yellow ~~reticules~~ on your ~~overview~~) and you are in no position to take any ﬁre.

*You’re being "yellow-boxed" (you see yellow reticles on your Overview on the ship icon that's targeted you) and you are in no position to take any ﬁre.

*You’re in danger of getting destroyed or know you’re about to get destroyed.

*Your ship gets destroyed.

*Your ship gets destroyed. You may be too late at this point.

~~ In any of these cases, do the following:~~

For further details please see our wiki guide on [[How to save your Pod]].

~~#Click~~ on ~~your '''Pod saver''' tab.~~

~~#Choose a random planet and click on it.~~

~~#In the '''Selected item''' window, start spamming the '''Warp to 0 m''' button (just keep on clicking it).~~

#*If you’re not warp scrambled, you will warp to a planet. In that case, either meet up with the ﬂeet again or dock at a safe station. Listen for instructions by your FC. If you don't have instructions from your FC immediately upon coming out of warp, do NOT sit at a planet and wait, this can get you killed. Warp to a station to dock, or keep warping between planets at 30 to 70 km range, and try to make midsafe bookmarks between planets, then warp to those instead of warping between planets.

~~#*If you ARE warp scrambled, you’re not going anywhere. You should, however, keep on spamming the Warp~~ to ~~0 m button. This is because when your ship is destroyed, you will appear in your pod. If you’re spamming that button, your pod will warp out as quickly as possible (usually almost instantly) and~~ save ~~both~~ your ~~clone and any implants you’re carrying. If you do this correctly, you should never lose your pod.~~

~~#Switch back to your '''PvP''' or '''PvP travel''' tab before you drop out of warp, so you can see any enemies on the other side.~~

When your ship is destroyed, a session change is initiated through you going from your ship to a pod. This can cause lag, and if you’re already spamming the Warp to 0 m button BEFORE this happens, your pod will usually warp out despite any lag that may occur (a chain of commands was built up before you got destroyed by the spamming). However, be warned that in rare cases of extreme lag you may not warp out. The session change timer is 20 seconds long and will prevent you from docking in a station or jumping through a stargate for that duration.

~~You can diminish lag by disabling your Mail and Notification notifications such as Blink [[NeoCom|NeoCom~~]] ~~etc. This will reduce the delay between when you get killed and end up in your pod. Otherwise your client waits for the mail (insurance) to arrive and this might be the time they need to lock you.~~

The reason we use planets is because there usually isn’t anything dangerous at planets. Enemies could be waiting at stargates or stations, and big enemy POSes could be sitting near moons, so we warp to planets. However, some pirates and war targets will chase Uni members when they see them warping out to planets. For this reason, you should never sit still after coming out of warp at a planet. As explained above, keep warping between planets at 30 to 70 km range until you get new orders. If your ship was destroyed, you may want to dock up and get a rookie ship.

Also, you could have an aggression timer. Aggression timers stop you from docking or jumping through a gate for exactly 60 seconds after the timer begins. When the timer reaches 13m 59s (shown in-game when the timer says 13 minutes at the top left of your screen) you can dock up or jump. If you mouseover the aggression timer, it will show the seconds.
