MIR2 gold is an important item in the game. It does not matter if you are a combat pilot or a miner; this is one of the essential skills that every single pilot should be able to perform. As soon as things look doomed, usually when your ship enters structure, select a celestial object from the overview, such as a planet, or station. Planets are generally the best, as the space is likely to be empty when you arrive. Now, hammer the warp to button, keep on hammering it, then hammer it some more. Do not stop until you can see your pod in warp. It is not an exact science, lag can always disrupt attempts to warp and trying to warp while inside a warp disruption bubble is impossible, but your pod should warp away almost as soon as it is released from your exploding ship.
