They're just there so you can change your train appearance. And, if they work like they used to, they absorb hits themselves without affecting your hull integrity. This means, if a supernova hits one of them, the pod will explode. Your ship will not.
The cargo pods are pretty useless in this game.At least, now.
They don't have any reason to exist (from my opinion).I don't know what others think about it.

yes it is, but that's still not a reason for useless things to exist. All we really have to do is remodel the train so that they don't carry cargo pods but instead trailer like things at the back. Full cubey blocky things that are attached to the ship. We could even go so far as to add windows and get rid of the coupling that holds the two trailers together and make it a long cargo vessel type thing. Just a random idea I had upon reading this thread.
