If you're going to try dropping chaff after the police start to scan you, I might recommend testing that when you don't have a full hold of Imperial Slaves.
Yep, got that one
Have you worked out where i'll be paying the fine tonight?

Don't pay it! Wear it as a smugglers badge of incompetence (like i am)
If you've got silent running on, you don't have to worry about temperature until it starts to damage your modules.
Silent Running closes your heat vents and builds up the heat inside your ship. So whether your internal temp is 10 or 100, from the outside no heat is being radiated.
CMDR Heisenberg B. Damned looks like (s)he's got it sorted!

Liking that, any 'T' Shirts available?

Soooooooooo, i am getting the picture now, Silent running, then heats builds up you fire off a heat sink?
I hate the phrase immersion breaking. Surely looking away from your monitor at the room you are in breaks the immersion more than blowing up a sidewinder to get rid of bounties.
Sounds like you were doing a similar route to me, I had a similar fine - in the end I paid it, mostly because I was making loads of money. There is a better route trading iSlaves without the need for smuggling - although it is arguably less fun.
That's it
Although, when not in silent running, lower temperatures do reduce the distance which another ship can lock you.
So, you can use heat sinks to reduce locking distance, whilst still keeping your shields up. Can be useful in fighty situations
Or if you've got a small, nimble ship you can just fly in fast before anything gets chance to scan you!
I like that there's all these different approaches to smuggling, I just wish the consequences would be harsher - bounties instead of fines and full-on hostile response when caught, please!

Ah, it's all a waste anyway. I was hoping for a bounty.
The 'rarer' the ship you fly, the more likely you're to draw attention. This is what the devs said but I can't find it for the life of me.

Chaff does exactly square root of diddly squat to scans

Appreciated Marra, As a trader, i don't agree with harsher penalties obviously, but understand your point of view and have no argument with that. If it happens it happens, i'll just find some other route without smuggling (Maybe
) it certainly would not put me off the game. I will try out the suggestion kindly given on this thread tonight.Fly safe to you all!
As I think we've established, it's more of a nibble than a bite... maybe a light gumming.
;-p
I'd like me some of this too. I went all yipeee when interdicted by a 'tipped-off' hunter smuggling my way from Robigo back to the bubble for the first time. It was a shieldless Sidewinder, well, spacedust about 5 seconds later. They really need to crank it up a notch or two.
Nothing wrong with a bit of gumming, but then that is a whole different thread and possibly forum
Fly safe!
The sidey suicide mechanic is lame. I'm going to report you, OP, out of principle.
