...the whole "pod" concept. So every time you want to hop in your ship and fly out for a quick burger, you have to immerse yourself in this "pod goo" half naked. It's cumbersome and unnecessary and apparently from the video I saw, not very pleasant as you need to throw up the stuff whenever you exit your ship.
When I first learned about EvE pods, I thought they were a standard self contained unit common through all EvE ships, designed for survival in space. In other words a life raft.
I didn't know about the "goo" part.
Furthermore, some of the ship designs don't lend themselves to the whole pod thing either because they look like they have ****pit windows. A pod is completely enclosed...why would you need ****pit windows?
The larger ships with the multitude of windows don't lend themselves to this either. So in the "battleship" you are the only one in a pod and the rest of the crew (hundreds maybe) are just wandering around your ship with no pod. Who would take a job like that?
I'm hoping the EVE lore changes some of this before a movie comes out. Close-ups of you floating in goo during a heated battle just wouldn't work IMO.

What? Actually have accurate knowledge before you you post about it?
I think you're new there. 
These are the Eve Online forums. Actual credible knowledge of what you're talking about is not required, and is actual discouraged.
I would suggest the op read the Jovian Wetgrave for starters, but I doubt it would do any good for some reason.

Since when is reading game fiction required to actually play the game?
I based my opinion as an EVE player, not as a fan of EvE fiction.
So what am I missing here?

Apparently, the whole point.
Spend some time reading the chronicles. Take your time, a year or two, and let us know what you discover.

"The one thing I dont like about EvE lore is..."
"Since when is reading game fiction required to actually play the game?"
Reading the lore isn't required to play the game, but it is required if you plan on posting about how you don't like an aspect of it without taking the time to read it.
Who am I kidding, you're just trolling for the sake it of. Like always.

You don't need to read game fiction to play the game. However, you are asking about a feature of the game world which is explained ... in the fiction.
If you don't want to read the Chronicles and discover the answer for yourself, suspend your disbelief and let it go.

So no one here can give a civil reply because I haven't read the chronicles and you would rather continue insulting me then inform me.

"The truth is out there..."
Quote:
...The doors to Cargo Hold B had been welded shut and it took few minutes to cut them open. Pirkotan felt his gut tighten in excitement, but also dread. He'd always prided himself in having full knowledge of every situation, full control. Now that he was left more or less in the dark, he feared the unknown. Pirkotan remembered a saying of one of his teachers in officer training: 'Always expect the unexpected. Then all surprises will be pleasant ones.' Somehow, this did not comfort him all that much at the moment...

You're getting less than helpful responses because you have been given the tools to go and discover for yourself, and you're instead demanding that other people do your work for you.
You asked the question. You've been given the way to find the solution for yourself.

You don't eat burgers. Why would you want to? They're for the people that are paid 10 isk per week to polish our drones (they are also the people that we have windows for. We don't need windows. They only allow you to look in one direction.)
The people that are paid 10 isk per week take those jobs because they really really really need that 10 isk per week. If they were any good, they'd have pods too. Who cares if some incompetent bum loses his life when I self destruct for insurance fraud? Should've studied harder and got himself a pod, too.

TL;DR : you spend most of your life in the pod, and you do it because it offers you unparalleled access to your ship's functions, an access level captains of "regular" ships could only dream of. The ship you're in basically becomes your body, and you control it almost on an instinctual level, the same way you'd control your body. You THINK you want to see something, you see it ; you think you want to shoot something, the ship shoots it ; you think you want to go somewhere, the ship just starts moving. Not many people can handle it, very few manage to survive the process with their sanity intact.

dtyk and Akita T, thank you for clearing that up for me.
Although the fiction sounds a bit more Matrix-ee to me, I get it. Come ambulation though, I think more gamers are going to be living outside their pods than in. Hope the fiction catches up.
Thank again.

The ship models have been around a lot longer than pods have. It's easier to simply renovate a few rooms to accommodate a pod than redesign every ship. Remember, less than 0.0000001% of the population are pod pilots.

Most Eve ships are jury rigged to be flown by capsuleers. Hence the '****pits,' which are actually large enough to be considered bridges, even on frigates.
And why wouldn't someone want to work on a battleship? not everyone can be a capsuleer? Do you think if they had a normal captain they would be more willing to work for them? How many non-pod NPCs get popped per day compared to player ships. Statistically you have a better chance of surviving on a pod-ship than an NPC.

If they were paid 10 isk/week, they'd be incredibly rich on their planets. One ISK is more than enough for a person to finance his entire life.
The people on our ships are paid in currency worth only a tiny fraction of an ISK. If they're paid at all that is. Flying with an immortal is a divine gift..
Also, they broke ****pits again? Cripes..

Not quite, but it's still a lot of cash.

Actually, if Hands of a Killer is to be believed, it's well worth it. Sure, it's freakishly dangerous and you pretty much will get killed if you stay on with a pod pilot for too long, but if you can survive a tour of duty under a capsuleer then you basically need never work again.

You never leave your pod. Even if you're flying any other ship, you're still in your pod.

I have to admit that I prefer the ships with something that looks like a ****pit.
