Pod and hitboxes

[Sundance]

Any chance the pod hitboxes will be fixed?
As in, I was trying to hit a pod with the saber, but I hit it several times, but I got the message "you are too far away to do that" every time
Eventually the pod massacred me with its phasers.
I heard the hitbox is the lower left tile, but that's pretty tough to do when you are getting pelted with what ever weapon it has.
