Occupied Escape Pod

Armed SRV invokes Heisenberg and Schrodinger.
If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, then this is seriously not funny.
Not gonna enlighten us non-UK folks?
I'll see your one and raise you twelve!.. and load up three more home players for a full team rescue. Yay, success!
I collected a few escape pods the other day while out exploring. Actually for the sake of immersion, since we don't get much from it.
But wouldn't it be cool if there were people attached to these pods? Like, when handing them in, someone would contact us and thank us, or offer a follow-up job, or reward us with some more credits, or a lot more credits if the person is filthy rich. Or maybe they need a job now that their ship is destroyed and offer their crew services for a good price. I'd love that. There would be something attached to these pods which would imply that there is actually a person in there.

I have a Corvette named the Presteign Vorga, BTW. "Quant Suff"!!!

I found another occupied escape pod from an Anaconda and difficult to get to.

It's their own fault. They should have joined the Pilots Federation and got the proper escape pods that take you somewhere useful.
I felt the same as you did.

Yeah I want the FSD technology in my escape pod in my ship, would be a massive improvement in range, 22,000 ly my best so far vs 36 for my current build
I would like to strap the escape pod between the guns on top of the SRV so it doesn't take up cargo space.
I have found it somewhat entertaining (and perhaps immersion breaking?) that the more populated a system is, the higher chance it is unable to police itself and respond to distress calls.
On the one hand, higher population should lead to a statistically higher chance of accidents and the like. Right?
On the other, a capital system - the seat of military power - having such a rampant piracy and safety issue is quite, um, odd.
I sometimes think RNG in code is actually under-utilized rather than over-used. A few more variables and clarifiers can really enhance its potential if some forethought is put into it. Yet, it seems, it rarely is.

Can player ships be equipped with escape pods or is it just NPCs?

Neither players nor NPC's have escape pods(or have you ever seen an escape pod in space after shooting an NPC?). The escape pods are just an RNG/POI
thing

While snow skiing. Sounds awesome.
Glad you're enjoying the newness of the game.
Eventually this kind of thing will be a bit of a "meh" moment - I reckon they could make them less of a meh moment if finding one could mean being plunged into several procedural generated multi stage scenarios.
Even then, they'd probly become a bit meh eventually.
