The Alien Krypt Pod is an Alien ship in Escape Velocity Nova.
"Krypt has always been curious about the universe at large. She created these nanite globes to explore her surrounds soon after she became conscious. Any globe is a part of her body; she suffers its ill-treatment badly, and will respond to force with force. Not that she truly understands that these strange asteroids that appear in her space actually contain living beings; she is unaware that other life exists." ― Krypt Pod description
Krypt Pods are nanite globes created by Krypt to explore the universe. The pods are a part of Krypt's consciousness, and Krypt's curious nature is shown through her pods' tendency to "explore" ships that damage them.
Gameplay Analysis[]
"When you see them in game, they are nearly invincible, so don't attack them. Their nanites will obliterate your ship in no time, as it skips past your shields and immediatly rips apart your armor." ― EVula Survival Guide
Try not to mess with Krypt Pods. If too many of your shots (stray or otherwise) hit a Pod, Krypt will become "curious" and try to "explore" your ship. In other words, Krypt will become hostile and start attacking you with its Nanites. Nanites bypass your shields completely and go straight for your armor, almost instantly destroying any insufficiently well-armored ship, so attacking a Krypt Pod is not something you want to do unless you know what you're doing. Furthermore, there is no real benefit to destroying Krypt Pods other than proving that you can or boosting your combat rating, as they have no crew and cannot be boarded.
Its Nanites, however, can be shot down by point defensive weaponry. Storm Chainguns and Quad Light Blaster Turrets are the most effective in taking down the Nanites.
