Chunneling pods

Does anyone know (as its difficult to sim) that if I chunnel a boosted
pod while on route to its destination to a different location as to
whether the pod then realises it needs to recalculate its route and
starts off again in the direction of its boost target?

The pod is currently owned by another race.

Don't think pods can change course at all. For that matter don't know
how easy it would be to pull off, getting the chunnel ship to the right
point and all that. I know chunneling takes place before movement but
are the pods considered to be sitting still? Is it possible to chunnel
a moving object?

Yes, the pod will continue his course from the new target location.

Irt is not a change of course, it still goes to the same spot as
before, just from another starting point.

You can chunnel moving objects.

Mr Smiley - Chunneling a moving object is easy. You just have to
predict where it will be at the start of the following turn. For a pod
its simple as they move in a straight line at a set speed. The 46 rebel
native pods will find a nice home with some cyborgs this turn..... The
chunnel ship is at the exact same location as the pods at the moment.

Is it still so that these pod wait one turn before they continue on
following their boost WP?

Yes, that is still the case!
