0.0 is beside the point, a frig gets PWND in a bubble in seconds as it should and always will and the pod is next, as well as most other ships if they hit the wrong gate..... Maybe some of you in a rush to flame, missed the part where i said i was locked while cloaked? Maybe lagg, wont really ever know I guess... Im pretty sure about it but I dont think even a scan probe and a million sensor boosters should allow someone to lock you at a gate as soon as you get through. Let alone target the pod immediatly after.
That can't happen, you cannot be targeted in any way whille you are still cloaked from gate jumping, its impossible.
I sugest you check your logs, see how much time has passed since the "change system" message and the first ship scrambled you. You only stay cloaked for a minute.

The start of this thread was looking for a way to at least get my pod out and away from a camp in low sec - a camp of huge ships with long lock times none the less. Even from all the suggestions/flaming rants here, I find it hard to believe that anyone would have been able to lock a pod immediatly after destroying a ship - im sitting there spamming the warp to planet button with graphics at minimum, not in a bubble, and no other apps running. In essence a Hotkey to warp, or to assign to a fuction besides the log off which is just a cop-out. Thats easy- its not going to change any game mechanics, besides helping avoid lagg.
As for your pod beeing locked, thats the result of lag, doesn't matter how powerfull your machine is or what your settings are, whille you are watching your ship exploding around you (and can't do anything whille this animation doesn't end), the other players already have your pod in their overview and are probably already locking you.
The safest way to avoid this without resorting to lame logoffski tactics is:
- as soon as you realize you are going to loose your ship, select a celestial object and start spamming the warp button, doesn't matter if you're scrambled or not, as soon as your ship dies, your pod will warp away automatically.
I've never been podded using the tactic above, no auto-pilot tricks or lame CTRL+Q needed.
