When your ship is destroyed, you will be forced to eject. The eject pod is slow and weak. You should focus on respawning in a base fast. There are a few options for respawning from an eject pod:
Dock at a friendly base
Press "B P". You will autopilot to dock at the nearest friendly base.
Get picked up by a friendly ship
Colliding with a friendly ship will transport you back to base. Use the `np voicechat ("Need a Pickup"), and hopefully a nearby friendly ship will accept it and pick you up. Sometimes there are no friendly ships nearby, so don't spam the voicechat.
You can also use Command (F3) view, left click on a nearby friendly ship, and right click on yourself to order them to pick you up.
Destroy your pod
Escape pods can be destroyed by enemy weapons, or by colliding with an enemy ship or minefield. This is a good idea, as you will return to base immediately when your pod is destroyed. However, it is not always possible if there are no stationary enemy ships or minefields nearby.
