Lifepods are for commercial liners. When warships get destroyed, people die. Unless you plan on having the enemy pick them up and put them in a prisoner of war camp. That might be interesting, and a stroy line noone has used in any of these SE4 stories yet IIRC.

having recently viewed the original 0079 MS Gundam serise, i feel inclined to refer you to a page from Zeon fighting doctrine.

it is imperitive to the morale of a man fighting in space that he believe that he can be rescued, and that his comrades in arms will do anything in their power to rescue him.

of course, this doctrine is a trueism that extends to battles at sea, in the jungle, on the desert, and danm near anywhere else.
