Ordon Gundar Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2008.04.08 12:22:00 - [1] Just wondering!!

Alyth Corp 1 Allstars Insurgency	Posted - 2008.04.08 12:24:00 - [3] 150m/s and warp at 3 au/sec. Do you wanna test it sometime? I love Violet! It is the prettiest color in the whole wide world!!! I like toast. Naviagtor Gah! Curse you all!

Ordon Gundar Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2008.04.08 12:26:00 - [5] I thought I may go for a sightseeing trip around 0.3 space without the encumberance of a ship. Why? You offering to show me around?? Provide some hospitality perhaps?

Morthis Rygal Garoun Investment Bank	Posted - 2008.04.08 12:40:00 - [7] Just use a shuttle, it's highly unlikely anything can lock you quick enough anyway and I believe it has more cap than a pod (as well as of course having a much higher speed).
Gartel Reiman Civis Romanus Sum	Posted - 2008.04.08 12:59:00 - [8] Originally by: Morthis Rygal I believe it has more cap than a pod (as well as of course having a much higher speed). Whether this is true or not, it's irrelevant. Neither a shuttle nor a pod can use it's cap for anything except warping - and due to the pod's relatively tiny mass, it has enough cap to cover any warp you might care to do. I'm not sure what its theoretical maximum warp distance is, but I expect it's in the thousands if not tens of thousands of AU. Still, shuttles are better, if only because they're like an 'extra life' - if someone does manage to get a point on you for whatever reason (lag, misclick, etc), you still get to warp away in your pod when the shuttle goes pop. If someone gets a point on you in a pod, that's it.

Inertial The Python Cartel	Posted - 2008.04.08 13:04:00 - [10] The speed of the pod depends on the speed of the ship its in .
Savage Creampuff Privateers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.08 14:31:00 - [11] They can travel almost instantly to a station Quote: I've sent in plenty of petitions but it seems that CCP just doesn't care about me. Without knowledge of market dynamics theres no way I can compete with these griefers
Daqinson The Abyss Corporation Abyss Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.08 14:45:00 - [12] A pod does not use Cap. It is in the old stories some where, and you can do more research on this website, evefiles, or just take me for a fool. It used to be you could direct your pod in a warp in any direction in a system, and never set an ending point, and you would hit the "wall". That is how someone glitched out of the New Eden system :) No cap, so it can go forever ---------------- Your signature is too large.

diabolic clone Paxton Industries Paxton Federation	Posted - 2008.04.08 15:20:00 - [13] With navigation level 5 the top speed of a capsule is ironically 187.

Eka Lawrencia University of Caille	Posted - 2008.04.08 16:57:00 - [19] Pods seem to be very viable for long range journeys. I once raced an allymate through 30 jumps of 0.0 space. He in a pod, me in a Cheetah, with at least one nano in lows. There was no noticable difference, we arrived at the same time.

Not sure how a pod would arrive at the same time as a cov ops when a cov ops has 4.5 times the warp speed and still aligns very fast. Unless they were all really short jumps I guess, so that most of your warp time was spent accelerating/slowing down (rather than flying at full speed).
Wet Ferret Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2008.04.08 20:06:00 - [23] I would use a shuttle if you have decent cap skills, and possibly some Warp Drive Operation skill (level 3 is handy). If not, you will likely run out of cap at some point and it really sucks when that happens. A shuttle can make almost any jump in the game and never run out of cap with cap skills at 4 and warp drive operation 3 in my experience. Aside from the reasons already mentioned, a shuttle is also better because of the traveling time to the edge of the jump range of a gate, on the odd chance that you end up further than 2500m away. It happens frequently. The only other problem I can think of with a shuttle is that with no navigational skills it's actually fairly slow to align. And you can probably be tackled by a sensor boosted cruiser or whatever in low-sec, but even that is fairly unlikely due to lag issues. But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.
