Well there are things that can be done
-Try kill your pod on a miner or an enemy ship
-Try get rescue from a teammate (look up F6) and ask
-See if there is a rescue probe or sanctuary, nix/gt rescue etc somewhere or look for the closest path to a base (check distances, use f6 too)
-You can still contribute from your pod eyeing stuff on your minimap and telling the team useful stuff
-If you really want there's mesial's "pod porn entertainment" or maybe you can alt tab for a little bit and read up some news article or something else in the meantime then return back to the action

The trick is to play when none of the whores are around, then leave when drizzo comes on so he has no one to pod
It really works! I've gotten on the top of the scoreboard that way so I can feel better about myself

You pansies suck. The easiest way to pod Drizzo is to wait for him to rush an aleph then drop prox. Works every time.

TC, you forgot about heading to the sector boundary.
Pod rides are great. Gives me time to refresh my BEvERage.

Weylin's just a big bitch about whores since he'll never be one.

It takes years of refinement and a special talent to be a true whore.
For everyone else, there's probe duty and coordinated prox drop assassinations.

Touche my beermaking friend. If only everyone in the world was as easygoing as you, we could probably have world peace in short order.

Can we put this on the intro page or somthing so noobs know all this. I have had a couple friends try it and quit because:"Oht that game you fly forever and do nothing"
probably without the pod porn part
p.s. how do you check distances in f6?
