Instead a much more sensible way of doing this would simply be for there to be a standard pod for each class. Once a player has finished researching light hulls they would have the chance of designating some pod options; fi class, co class, or none. They would then do the same when finished medium hulls; fr class, de class or none, and heavy hulls. The player would be allowed to designate up to 2 pod types (or three - something for the statsmaker to decide? it could possible also be up to the statsmaker whether to allow 1 or 2 per metaclass). In every other way they would be the same as today's pods.

this doesnt make much more difference than Mr Lobster suggested.
Even if it just 1 type of pod, i would assume it would match the eta of the rest of the fleet type. No other ships then it travels at fi/co speed.
Either way, targetting of just pods and having it as it own class is a no go imo aswell.
