Talk:Escape pods/@comment-47.132.145.114-20181016013333

These are easier to catch once you know what your looking for. Yes they are rare but when you are fighting a group of enemies after you shoot down an enemy ship, throw your craft in reverse for a minute as you look for your next target. You will either see a escape pod, a drop or nothing except the explosion appear. Sometimes if you miss the escape pod and you see one IE they are a light tan instead of red on the HUD then you have to get within the reach of the spaceweb. Yes it is short but it doesnt matter, just get within 1 km on the T1 for example and it is a 100% pick uprate. After you click it hit I and check your inventory, you will see the guys at the bottom appear. You can carry 5 initally.

Hint: When starting out and you talk to the Dr. Gal in the AR6 after receving the quest immediately quit the quest and accept it again for unlimitted level 1 spaceweb. There are better ones in the game latter on but this will help you practice. I grabbed  80 to start with to figure out and understand the distance was not 5KM, it its 5,000 meter I think which is 1.5 KM. i could be off but going from memory.
