Losing your pod means a trip to the medical centre to buy a new one, but hopefully this little guide will make your visits a lot less frequent for you and a lot more common for your enemy with EVE ISK.

 

Always keep your clone updated with EVE ISK. Not having an up to date clone is the only possible way you can lose acquired skill points, and it's something that should never happen to you, ever. A quick look at your character sheet now and again will show you your skill point total and the limits of your current clone. With that out of the way we're onto the first part of this guide: How to save your pod. You don't want to be outside of a station in your pod unless it's absolutely necessary. Always remember, to your enemies, your pod is like sweet, sweet candy and popping it is a joy to them because they know it adds insult to the injury of losing a ship. Don't give them the pleasure. Traveling in a pod might seem like a good idea, and it does have a few advantages: they are reasonably difficult to lock and align to warp stupidly fast. Use a shuttle or fast frigate instead, they warp almost as fast and will give you time to try and warp your pod away if you get caught while traveling. It doesn't matter if you're a combat pilot or a miner; this is one of the essential skills that every single pilot should be able to perform. As soon as things look doomed, usually when your ship enters structure, select a celestial object from the overview, such as a planet, or station. Planets are generally the best, as the space is likely to be empty when you arrive. Now, hammer the "warp to" button, keep on hammering it, then hammer it some more. Don't stop until you can see your pod in warp. It's not an exact science, lag can always disrupt attempts to warp and trying to warp while inside a warp disruption bubble is impossible, but your pod should warp away almost as soon as it's released from your exploding ship. It's not over yet, though. Safely arriving at your destination, you now need to get your pod somewhere completely safe. If you arrive at a station, warp to a planet, just to be on the safe side. Pods are agonizingly slow, and the time it takes for you to get into docking range can give a chasing enemy just enough time to lock you down. So, now you are either sitting at a planet, or warping to one from a station.
