Occupied Escape Pod

Sometimes I feel bad about not picking up the Occupied Escape Pods but it takes time to transfer them from the SRV to the ship and the interdictions increase while transporting them to a station.

Not to mention, if you are in territory where Thargoids are around - they will attack you for carrying them, particularly nasty in a "Hyperdiction" situation where you might not be prepared for the confrontation.
 
I found a couple whilst out exploring. When I realised that they were decreasing my range they were ritually jettisoned. You know that anything you jettison doesnt maintain its velocity? I was hoping to fire them into a star...

It would be nice if, once in a while, the occupant turned out to be 'someone' and you were rewarded, or even given a follow-on mission.

I heard that Thargoids collected Occupied Escape Pods so I have wonder while in hyperspace if I might get Hyperdicted.

I always wondered why it doesn't include the status of the pod occupant. Would the reward be higher if you delivered them still alive?

I agree and would like to see their face though the glass while they say "Help Me".
 
I just found, and collected 6 "Occupied" Escape Pods. Then, and only after all were collected and transferred to my ship, did I notice (duh!) that they were marked as "Stolen". What the hell is the point of this stupid mechanic? They're Occupied Escape Pods! People are in them, and even IF they were say Pirates, or Stolen Slaves, whatever... an Escape Pod should never be marked as "Stolen, Illicit Cargo". You should be able to collect them and turn them in to Search and Rescue and let them deal with whatever, or whoever, is in them. Now, I have 6 Pods sitting on a planet with, apparently, my name on them. Have no idea of the ramifications, probably none, but just seems stupid to mark an Occupied Escape Pod as "Stolen and Illicit Cargo. I feel badly for the 6 souls I just dumped back onto the planet :(

You dumped them?
