more like there's not enough time. For exmaple, in the case of the Sazabi, it literarly had its HP bar punched to zero by Amuro, up to the point where the system sensed too much damage and force-ejected Char out. now, in the case of other MS, such as the Rick Dias(es), they could do the same thing as well, but more often than not the system could not detect and eject the pilot fast enough before it exploded.Maelstromm wrote:If they're as reliable as that, it's a wonder they don't use flight capable escape pods instead...and it brings me to another query, is there no other alternative to this escape balls that are worthwhile? Personally, I find it rather difficult to swallow the fact that pilots would rather use such unreliable escape devices instead of something better. Would cost and/ or logistics etc be a reason why more reliable escape devices are not used?
so I doubt its cost and logistics, seeing that even the Rick Dias had a ejection system while it was pretty much cannon fodder, but rather more of unreliability, or being too slow
