Cally	Posted - 2003.07.02 21:17:00 - [1] Its bad enough losing a ship, but being pod-killed is adding salt to the wounds, so as an extra security against being podded why not introduce different grades of Pods that can be bought and fitted to your ship? For example... Grade 1 Pods are the most expensive. They have a High Energy Shield protecting them. These pods are made of the hardest known substance in existence and as such are extremely expensive to buy but are difficult to destroy with an average strength weapon. A Grade 1 Pod would give the player a few valuable moments to set course and warp away from danger as its attacker would have to bring downs its shield then penetrate its (limited) armour. Grade 2 Pods are the second most expensive. They have a Medium Energy Shield protecting them. These pods are very expensive to buy and hard to destroy with an average strength weapon. Grade 3 Pods are the third most expensive. They have a Standard Energy Shield protecting them. These pods are expensive and are not easy to destroy with an average strength weapon. Grade 4 Pods are the fourth most expensive. They have a Low End Energy Shield protecting them. These pods are relatively in-expensive and can be destroyed with not too much trouble with an average strength weapon. They offer more protection than the standard pod - but not much more. Standard Pods should still exist in the game and remain as they are now (no shield and easy to destroy). They come free with any ship you buy but can be replaced with any of the above. Adding different types of pods brings a bit more diversity to the game and adds another piece of equipment to the market. A new skill (Pod Manufacture) could also be introduced too.
