PP 2.0: Rescue escape pods from reinforcement systems
- Thread starter KelSolaar
- Start date
What I did was go to a nav beacon in a reinforcement system and blow up wanted ships. They dropped pods and I scooped them. Knocked out my scan, bounty, and escape pod quotas all at once.
Be quick, though, because NPCs appear to have an insatiable hunger for pods now and they will snatch them up in a heartbeat.

This is for the introductory tasks?
These are easy. Any power influenced system, has power wreckage POIs. Drop in, you'll generally get 3-4 escape pods or damaged escape pods. Both count, although they have different entries when you go to hand them in to the power contact.
Threat 1 don't have enemy NPCs spawning. I only went into one threat 2 and managed to scoop before any NPCs dropped in, and the one that did was an ally. No idea about threat 3.

O7 commander, scan the nav beacon and look for power wreckage Signal sources. Level 2 and 3 have are unlikely to have hostiles. I've seen a level 4 that does.
Please know that you'll need to collect and hand in the pods in the same reinforced system to get the merits

Just be aware that you cannot hand the pods into your power contact unless the station also has an operational search and rescue.
I just tried to in a couple of Anarchy systems where both stations had S&R suspended- the Power contact wouldn't accept them. Moved over a system or two (with S&R active) and the Power contact would now accept them, but alas no merits as I salvaged them in a different system.
At least that's my experience, unless I'm missing something...(wouldn't be the first time!)

Thanks for this. I started off trying to grab some pods at a CNB, and that quickly became a...chore, let's say.
