Energy Bomb MIA.

That's why the Escape Pod is better than the Energy Bomb: if you get in over your head and have to press an emergency button, you should lose something!

Not better by much. You also lose the energy bomb if you use it, and its worth 900 credits. The escape capsule is only 100 credits more to replace.

Yes, but when you trigger an energy bomb you get kills, you get salvage, and you get to keep your own ship and cargo too. You're rewarded for getting in over your head (or it encourages you to take on more opposition than you can handle in one go). The escape pod lets you survive, but you don't get any bonuses for using it.

The escape pod lets you survive...

Indeed it does - as long as you hit the eject in time. I've missed a couple recently due to forgetting to double-tap the damn key.

escape_pod_activation_immediate may be useful there.

Yeah, thanks cim... I've been meaning to add that switch for a while.

<chortles> Not for me, McLane - as I have explained before now.

I know. I just didn't want to pass on the opportunity for a shameless plug.
