Why is there a Blond Guy in my podbay ?

[Kotlol]

Here's an idea. Good pods that have good engines/weapons/such are locked and have to be logged.

Bad ones that barely function as an escape pod are free to use. Since.. No weapons.. No cargo... just a pod to get OUT of the station.

So now crooks have to Scooty puff Jr. it out of there. Or reserve a pod in advance!
