Escape Pods
Source Tech Core pg. 190
While most starships come with escape pods as a standard safety feature, the cramped and sparsely supplied default models are so uncomfortable that some crew members joke they’d rather go down with the ship. Starship escape pods don’t use additional upgrade slots on your starship and are automatically installed near each battle station and in each expansion bay. Escape pods are automatically restored when the starship is docked at a major port or settlement.
All escape pods come with medkits, comm units, and the tools necessary to make quick repairs and aid the passenger in docking with a rescue vessel. They have enough air to last an occupant 1 week and are usually stocked with enough water and food to last 1 week. The amount of supplies stowed in an escape pod depends on the distance the starship crew expects to travel. A shuttle hopping between a planet and its moon might only carry enough supplies for 24 hours, whereas a freighter designed to travel between star systems probably has extended survival pods.
