Basically I got an idea for the NPC capital ships, they hold pilot items in their hold sometimes...well I figured that maybe we could add an item and call it a "Lifeboat". It is a larger escape pod, designed to hold something like 10-20 people....it could occupy mayby 20 cargo slots and be worth as much as some of the credit cards that are dropped...the price will have to be picked based on how many there are per ship though... maybe 50 K each? (though that seems a bit high) I dunno really...figured that gunboats can have two... cruisers would need more, between 5 and 10. Really...I dunno, just something I thought up...could even give them a specific game model (I know pilots have their own model when dropped)
so the fighters would drop pilots who have ejected, and larger ships eject lifeboats as the crew tries to abandon ship
An excellent idea that is much more realistic than credit cards. Although why not just call them escape pods?
