Perhaps the pods should tie into research somehow. Like maybe give robotics the ability to research pod upgrades (such as a repair drive, let the pod sit away from combat for a while and it will slowly repair itself, but uses fuel maybe and takes up space that could otherwise be used for weapons or something)
if it's already not a thing, it should be possible to build stronger pods, at the risk of making the pods slower in flight. The icons maybe wouldn't need changing, perhaps a tint of color or something to show that it's different looking metal, but it could be noted that it's stronger because it's not as fast. Giving pods a good balance of do you want a flimsy speed machine (aerodynamics) or something that won't go super fast, but will stand up to most conventional weapons.
Engineering and research could use a project they both can play with, the pods could be just that.
Also the map and the upcoming changes sound pretty cool so far, I really hope we see it live soon.
