Talk:Escape pod

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uh, this entry is pretty rubbish! Sorry I know that is unconstructive, but "List of famous escape ships", followed by links to generalised articles on sci-fi franchises and to the Lifeboats article.. I think that if you (the originator) think this topic is deserving of an entry, you should expand it. I've added my own "expertise" with notes on the escape craft in Star Trek, Alien and Star Wars. Hope my comments weren't too harsh... pomegranate 23:17, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] pod or ship?

Shouldn't this article be under the title of escape pod, rather than escape ship? More pages link to the escape pod redirect than directly to this article, and outside of Alien, I've never heard of the term "escape ship" being used in science fiction or otherwise. Every article linked directly to here is either Alien-related or links a different word in the article. Night Gyr 10:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I was thinking it should be "escape pod" as well, I think it was that way before and someone redirected it to escape ship. An "escape ship" could be anything - any ship used to leave a dying ship - like a shuttlecraft or starfighter, but an "escape pod" has a specific purpose - "to get the f*** outta there" when your ship is going down.
