Descrizione
In the event of catastrophic ship failure, life pods are the last hope for survival. A ship with this system has a single- person life pod for each crew member and passenger. At any time, you can use your action to board a life pod and eject from the ship. The pod travels far enough to clear any explosion of the ship, then drifts aimlessly. The pod has extremely minimal thrusters—enough to change direction two or three times—and enough air, power, and rations to sustain its passenger for 7 days. Each life pod automatically produces a distress signal that can be detected by any ship with sensors, though such a signal only travels at the speed of light—very slow by galactic scale. A life pod can survive reentry on most planets.
