Life Pods in Freespace?
Hello there!

I was trying to include a "save life pod"-objective into a mission.
Unfortunately there seems to be nothing that can feasibly used as a life boat in FSO.
I 'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion how to achieve the desired effect without having to design a new ship model from scratch? Perhaps there is a campaign where such a thing was attempted that someone could point me to?

"How about the GTEP Hermes?"
"Oh my, where are my eyes..."

You must have the Hermes in mind.

Well, there is the GTEP Hermes, which is an escape pod...

...There's also a user-made vessel in the Wiki somewhere...

I overlooked the second last ship in the list. Sorry; thanks for your time anyways!

You might need to write tables for this, but here's something which might be of interest to you:

I thought there was a different escape/life pod listed there, but I can't seem to find it. Regardless, hopefully that might help.
