English term or phrase: escape pod / information pod
Hallo!

In einer Liste mit kurzen Aufzählen erscheint: Search information pod. Dazu habe ich bis dato leider keine Vorschläge erhalten.

Nun find ich an anderer Stelle "escape pod". Bringt das viell. Aufhellung in die Sache?

Satz:

We were fortunately enough to launch escape pod, but it is doubtful if we survive long enough.

Dankeschön.

Hilfe-Kapsel / Informationsbox


Explanation:
Rettungskapsel fuer escape pod ist die korrekte Uebersetzung,

Fuer Information POD wuerde ich Informationsbox uebersetzen, letzten Endes kommts auch drauf an wies im Spiel dargestellt wird, allerdings ist es auf jedenfall ein Behaelter mit Information drin.
Der 1te Vorschlag ist Hilfe-Kapsel, wenn diese Kapsel dafuer benutzt wird, Hilfen fuer das Spiel darzustellen.
Der 2te Vorschlag, fuer andere Faelle.

Da in den Spielen immer aehnliche Ausdruecke benutzt werden, wurde halt hier Information POD und nicht ein besserer englischer Ausdruck benutzt, um X - POD, Y - POD und Z - POD zu gewaehrleisten.
