After all the time I've spent chasing pods, I'm embarassed some basic things about them still escape me:
* Generally, one prefers to pop sea pods w/ transports and IoDs, because warships can't pick up AA. However, sometimes, early in the game, you will get a "datapod recovered" pod. Anyone know the rules for that?
* Bottom line, what are the odds a given pod will be an AA? Will be money?
* In a related matter; there seems to be a point in the late middlegame where AAs become much more common, unless I'm hallucinating the effect. Anyone else notice this, and anyone know the game mechanics of it?
Before someone makes the standard remark, I did a couple of searches to try and turn up a pod thread, didn't find one (I'm sure it's there somewhere.)
