Default Re: Help this newbie; the docs for this game are vague

I will guess that by "Support Pods" you mean "Emergency Resupply Pods", one of my favorite components. When a ship equipped with a Pod is running low on supplies, you can trigger the Pod with the Use Component button (hotkey ctrl-Z). At Level I this adds 2000 supplies to the ship and destroys the Pod until you repair it.

I like to put these on my scout ships to extend their range by a system or two. Especially if I can get a colony in place behind them to build a Resupply Depot, so the scout can resupply on its way back to the shipyard to repair the pod.
