Long story short, dropped into a USS and found an escape pod - went to scoop, and remembered I don't have any cargo racks, just a passenger cabin...
How about if you go to scoop an escape pod and you don't have any cargo racks - only cabins - (or if you have both cargo racks and cabins), you're given the option to scoop the pod but transfer the occupant to a cabin* (or discard / transfer to a cargo rack). You then get a message from the passenger asking you to a) take them to the nearest station (for reward x) or b) a specific destination (for reward y).
Also raises the possibility of a chained "revenge" mission offered by the pod occupant/now passenger to track down the pirates who blew up their ship...
*obviously the cabin would have to be empty or the current one party/one cabin thing will need tweaking to maybe just check for enough seats...??
