Sorry but that's not how MY pod works.

I have a normal captain's chair on a normal bridge with an extensive crew taking care of most of the ship's functions.

It's only critical I be in my chair, where I am plugged in, when a fight breaks out. The pod will surround and enclose the chair when a fight ensues. It still fills with 'goo' as needed to protect the occupant in such a small craft during warp, but I'm considering the technology that makes even that unnecessary.

I'm sorry you guys are still stuck with whatever antiquated technology requires you to be in your pods from the moment you leave station. Get with the times.


(P.S. The whole goo-pod was one of the things that kept me away from this game for years! It's not in any way sexy, exciting, or relatable, and in my opinion a pretty stupid idea outside of being an easy escape route from a rapidly dying ship. I'm sure CCP, knowing you couldn't leave your ship at the time, simply wanted people to feel like they were their ship, the ship was their character, their avatar. Well with WiS (which drew me back to the game - even though it's currently severely limited) and the plans they've expressed for it, where you are NOT your ship, but a real person who walks around and has real relations and a real life, the goo-pod tends to get in the way. Once I realized I could simply write much of the goo-pod out of my own fiction, I found the game more appealing. )
