It IS another criminal. Don't get scanned.
Doesn"t want to be scanned, which is very common. Surprised you are not aren't warned about hostile ships for a rebel leader. Pay rate is a bit low.
I can do my best to avoid gettng scanned, but its not easy
There is a restock option at any space station that refills all heatsinks and anything else on a ship that needs ammo. I'd avoid silent running as your shields go offline and the passenger won't pay if you get hull damage .... but then again autodock takes care of that. Restock the heatsinks and use them if you see SHIP SCAN DETECTED. If silent running is part of your strategy you might as well remove the sheilds from the ship and use the space for something else like another passenger cabin.
There is no insurance in the game other than having credits to cover the 5% rebuy cost of your ship if it gets destroyed which is referred to as "insurance".
Well, my real advice is don't do passenger missions, lol. They are a pain.
I thought pilots took out insurance in case their million credit craft got destroyed and they're stuck with a sidewinder ?
Like I said, it's automatically provided. You just need to keep the 5% credit amount.

I was hesitant about doing another passenger mission even before Codger's comment. I just thought I'd put so much effort into determining my one and only pass. mision before, I had to do at least one more. However, Codger's comment was enough to "tip me over the edge" and drop it. In the meantime anyway.Mmm, interesting. I find my experiences don't really align with Codgers. I've always been able to prevent a successful scan by launching a heat sink as soon I see SHIP SCAN DETECTED pop up. I don't use silent running entering stations and I think it results in the station not being able to identify you and restricting access to services so you can only access Black Market or Interstellar Factors for paying off your own bounty.
I really don't have much hassle with passenger missions, although every activity in the game does requiring learning a technique that works for you.
The real solution to being scanned on entry to stations is being allied with the controlling faction. I've never knowingly been scanned entering a station where I am allied with the controlling faction, and interdiction attempts in mission die off as I get allied with the other factions in the area.
I've spent so much time in the Robigo, Sothis, Ceos systems I'm allied with most factions, never get scanned and never get interdicted on passenger missions now. So there is no challenge to passenger missions for me in that area.
I'm looking forward to returning to the California nebula with my Anaconda loaded with passenger cabins, shields and guns. It's hilarious, everyone is after you and you'll probably have a rich fool demanding two units of fish to make his trip more comfortable
But what if you want to avoid being scanned ?
No, won't do that.
At the moment I'm seeking no "alliedation" with anybody, except the group or groups in my home station. I have 5 Systems to explore, which will include all sorts of investigation of whatever groups.
Autodock should avoid hill damage. As has been said, if you hear SHIP SCAN DETECTED, launch a heat sink and for me this has without fail prevented a scan from competing on entry to a station.
