Escape pods: how to make them?

[matik2002]

I need help with making this. Anybody has an idea on logic operated escape pod system?

My idea for them was to have a small docked ship with a single warp drive block precharged. In an emergency you'd run to it, hop in, fly out the tunnel and warp away.

In general you won't need to fly out a tunnel if its a jump escape pod just undock and jump. But if your up against a player using a jump inhibitor your probably not going to have a big enough jump drive to get away. At that point a radar jamming overdrive escape pod is a good thing. Maybe with a push drive as well.

Yeah the tunnel thing was just cool to visualise :D. And yeah I never thought about that, tbf though my idea is from before inhibitors were added.

I have an ejection seat in my fighters that just have a jump drive on a logic pulse. Whenever I undock immediately warp away. I also put a radarjammer, power, and a thrust block. In total it is only usually 7-8 blocks.

I made these:

While they don't have the automatic jump the logic for the doors and auto push out of the ship is there. The escsm is an escape shuttle that does have jump drive and would seat 16 if I remember right. The escpm is a bank of 5 individual escape pods.
