Summary0014074: Alter escape pod mechanics
DescriptionRight now, these are not only super rare, but pretty much impossible to grab. Usually, they appear, and then all die on the very same turn. There's no way to get at them, so they're not adding anything to the battle gameplay at all.

One suggestion is to remove the mechanic that causes them to die from bullets and such, and instead add a mechanic where they simply die after a certain number of turns... hard to say just how many would be best. While they're out, the number of remaining turns would be displayed above them.

Other than that, they just need to be more common.

Ooh, you're right, this feels WAY better. Nice one! :D

* Escape pod changes:
** Player shots no longer kill pilots in escape pods. It was too easy to accidentally do this, before.
** Escape pods now have a larger chance of appearing, making them not so incredibly rare.
** Life support in escape pods now only lasts for 3 turns, meaning that you have to pick them up relatively quickly if you want to save them. A little countdown timer shows on top of them during the movement portion of your turn, so that also makes them easier to identify.
