What, like you can fly an escape pod?

that would be incredibly hard, considering you would be either shot up or tractored in...
and figure maybe a speed ranging between 30-40, with no docking capbilities (it is a lifeboat, after all...), minmal maneuverability, and limited power, you're not going anywhere fast...

actually, this would be a good idea if you could make it like wing commander, in that when you eject, you are taken back to the last base you visited, and depending on the credits you have, buy a new ship and start again. or have the option of going back to another save game.

Finalday - in an ideal world, perhaps we could make it so, but then imagine the screams of anguish as they lost their ships of prized goods. Then imagine the deluge of complaints that your mod "sux" and more. It would be a good feature, but since Vanilla FL doesn't do this, you can be sure that you would get stacks of hate mail and abuse......lol
