2/3.
Pods are great for doing what they're meant to, flying around space and shooting drones, but they're a bit too good for other stuff imo.
A few pet peeves I have are pods on the shuttle for obvious reasons, the sheer lethality of some pod weapons (strelka comes to mind) against blobs making a nucleus near space or a window far too easy to kill, and how good of a getaway they are.
As a general rule of thumb, if someone hops in a pod while running away, if you can't laser the shit out of the pod then and there, you might as well give up, because it's easy to flee from pursuing pods and just hopping in a pod that someone is piloting is an exercise in futility, because you can't do ANYTHING to the other person, (unless you have internals and they don't and you continuously shut off life support).
Overall, I'd want to see more counterplay to pods (and more syndicate cruisers)
