Pods are available in this game, in fact there already built in in several places. So its more than a possibility. Like everything guys its time.

I believe most ships have ejection abilities (at least x wings do, read the rouge squadron series). I'm not entirely sure if it would be good for gameplay. I do think it would suck you into the game more, but how would you feel if after your hard fought dog fight the guy just bailed. Tho it might be made to work out. What if the ejection thing (like what the wookie was barkin about) was a vehicle? It could act like the assualt pods launching from a apc. I know xwings didn't use a pod, but perhaps they're seat comes with them...or something? That way the guy would just float around (you set the ejection seat vehicle for 0 g, like aquila said before) and the guy that just made you eject could come around and hit ya. Which kinda takes away the point of ejecting in the first place...
Unless you could have a special shuttle intended for rescue purposes, where anyone that ejects shows up on their minimaps. Perhaps teh motivation t onot suicide could be points for the both teh rescuer and rescuee.
