Flyceratops Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 So far, I only know two things about the Escape Pod: That it is unavailable at this time and that you can actually have multiple escape pod error messages at once and fill your screen with them. http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/8169/escapepod.jpg (I got really bored. It took a while.). So, anyone have any idea about what this could do in the future? Could it have involvement in the awesome space project that Bioware has discussed (even though the only thing we know about it is that it is awesome)? I am at a loss for its possible functions.

I think maybe you can abandon ship if you are about to crash or something. Also lol at the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micadog Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It is used, I believe. so that if you have a travelling companion of a different class on your ship and you group disband, they can use the pod to leave the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibdabs Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yep, it lets other players leave your ship if they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlon-UK Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 If you are traveling with a friend on their ship and they decide to do a space mission, you are trapped on their ship. Only way off is the escape pod. Try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaMayhem Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It allows players who have joined you on your ship to leave when they want, otherwise you could just keep them on your ship indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erei Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 They will come handy when they'll introduce the new Gungan and Ewoks companions. Missa happy to see youssa aboard ! Youssa want foot massage perhaps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woldn't the door work for them just fine? Or, if they go on a space mission or something does it not just leave the ship where it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot use the door whilst the person who's ship you're on is doing a space mission. You are required to use the escape pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKNairb Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) the actual ship isnt doing the mission your person is just switched with a ship model. they can leave the ship whenever using the door and person is no longer on the ship, when they exit, they will be in their own docking bay, or you yours if they are doing the mission the same if they leave the ship before you but grats that you think the ship is something more then a map / stationary model Edited June 28, 2012 by CKNairb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't work from release into 1.2. In fact, the guest on a ship is in whatever zone the ship is in. Ever noticed that there is a difference between being on the ship and in "space" which is where you are when you're flying the missions (which represents a change in general channel but just about nothing else)? Makes for an excellent smart-alec answer but doesn't jive with facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickM Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 In Beta, you used to be able to use the escape pod to shuttle directly to the surface of the planet and skip the orbital stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
