Description	Abandoned

Destroyed Lifepods are small survival vessels that were launched from the Aurora during its descent. While several lifepods survived initially, by the time the player wakes after being unconscious for three hours in Lifepod 5, it is the only one still intact, the others having sunk or been attacked.

The player can receive Signals pointing to the locations of Destroyed Lifepods, or clues that give a rough idea of where to find them from the Radio.

As of now, nine Destroyed Lifepods are present in-game.

Most Destroyed Lifepods contain abandoned PDAs with Data Downloads, and Data Boxes left behind by their occupants.

Trivia

• In previous versions, Destroyed Lifepods all featured the same damage; it was due to a lack of art time, contrary to the theory that they were all attacked by Warpers.
• A second Lifepod 3 had spawned in the Safe Shallows. This was removed in later versions of the game, however.
