Escape pods: just thank you FD

[aymerix]

Since update 13 a new feature has been added. It is only a detail (not present in the changelog, unless I'm wrong).

It's a very small thing.
However, for MediCorp it's a central feature..
In Odyssey when a ship explodes (in CZ, etc) an escape pod appears most of the time (on average 80% of the time).

This tiny thing for many pilots is a huge gift for us: the Medic. It changes our gameplay a lot.

We asked for it, and we got it.

Just Thank you.
Thanks a lot FD for integrating this feature.


Take Care and ... #ForTheMedic

Yes, it's great. Felt so satisfying to run over the escape pod of a pesky elite Eagle that just wouldn't stay in my firing arc and took ages to take down. POM! That's what you get for annoying me.

I see a win-win situation, gentlemen!

Awesome!

As a Thargoids feeder, I'm also really happy about this.

Kumo Burger approves of this change also

I don't care how many FD provide, I'm still not giving them to Etienn Dorn, he's weird.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Etienn Dorn, he's weird.

I'm told Dorn does not hold grudges but

 

[Matt_BLJH]

As someone who gets blown up a fair bit, that is genuinely concerning. Thanks for the sleepless nights

 

[Rubbernuke]

Hey, I'm not going to Dorn, right?

Right?

Imagine the gameplay elements if the OccPod had an info section:-
Occupants name.
Legal status of occupant.
Occupants origin system.
Reward Multiplier for Search and Rescue.
Reward Multiplier for Delivery to Prison.

Hidden info :-
Infected ?
Has friends looking for them ?
Rich long lost family ?
randomly explodes ?
Can be recurited as crew once saved ?

... and the pods are collected by my limpets (automatically!) while having a party in Haz Res sites, which brings even more fodder for me!

Just a usual day at the FD forum and 2 innocent but in context deeply disturbing pictures. You have a gift.
