Makes the equipment item 'Escape Pod' standard issue for every player ship.}

Just like a ship's hyperdrive it will neither show on the ship's inventory nor will it be subject to damage.}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
Upon use, the player will be docked in a replacement ship but with some/most equipment damaged or present but not integrated/properly installed.}

Rationale:}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
The early game can be brutal and when a combat goes badly the only option is sometimes to start again.}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
By granting the player a free escape pod they can escape at the cost of their cargo.  It's the one piece of equipment in the core (non-ironman) game that typically leaves you disadvantaged when you use it (besides the loss of the item itself). Starting again (or at least reloading a save) would actually be a less costly action in a great many cases, so as freebies go this is of questionable monetary value.}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
It is however a way to keep a game and the player story going that might otherwise need to be restarted. The player pays for a bad encounter rather than being destroyed by it. The penalty is losing your cargo, not paying a 1,000 credits for the privelage (which is not even affordable in the standard game start).}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
Although possible for the beginning player to eject and be left with no cargo and no money, they will at least sometimes be able to sell missiles or even their laser. If they really do become stuck they can either tough it out with a bit of asteroid destruction in a safer system or return to the time honoured choice of starting again.}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
As for being free, GalCop likely makes money from almost every trade taking place within its stations. To facilitate this trade requires enormous investment: stations; police; shipping; and traders.}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
When you buy goods, equipment, repairs, fuel or even a new ship it's either from them or they're taking a cut. When you sell goods for a profit you're still saving them the shipping fee and when you sell for a loss (by shipping them where there's less demand) you're still compensating them with that loss. To keep the profits rolling in they need a regular suply of traders to dock despite the considerable risks those traders have to take.}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
Ever noticed how a full set of equipment can cost more than your ship? Well, when they replace it for you, they'd like to be compensated for that too. So yes, they'll replace your equipment for you but not all of it will be fully installed. If you want that then you'll have to pay for it; which will likely be at one of their stations which will involve more money going to them.}
\par \pard\plain \s0{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\nowidctlpar\cf0\hich\af3\langfe2057\dbch\af3\afs24\lang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang2057\sb100\sa100{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
Sure, beginning traders are costing them money when they eject but meanwhile they're gaining experience, earning more money and performing more trade. To GalCop, you're just another investment...\line \line \line \line }
