Seems like cheating, or a bug...

That is an old bug that was fixed a while ago. Now you can only have one pod per ship and it requires a space yard to repair the pod, movement or resupply (normal repair components no longer do the trick).

Also, in simultaneous movement games, you can only go a max speed of 30 in one turn, as ships can not move more than 1 sector per day (and there are 30 days in a month).

You should get Gold. It is well worth the cost.
