Alright, back to a little more seriousness perhaps, the escape pod is a good point, however I really dont think it is 100% life-saving. Wouldn't particularly evil enemies blow up their enemies escape pods or capture them for slavery? Wouldn't the less evil enemies capture them and jail them, I mean how many pilots in Sirius do you think would simply let the person who was trying to kill them go freely. (or do escape pods have cloaking technology?)
