No, being wanted for carrying a criminal is intended. I don't think that the station should attack you though, you are correct that it normally doesn't work that way.

My two cents
We basically need 2 mission lists: first with legit missions and another one with all the smuggling and wanted passengers just like the blackmarket
Wanted passengers willing to go undetected should be able to contact cmdrs via direct coms asking for 'help'.
Wanted passengers should not be able to be on board with legit passengers IF the station keep killing everyone on board just for one wanted guy (btw that's a death sentence without trial... in Anarchy system i understand... in democracy systems I don't)
OR should be able to get in IF Security ask us to land to the nearest station ASAP (that's RP) to have the passenger arrested and not being just destroyed (of course the cmdr should be fined)

Yeah it's fun but it's too slow so you can be scanned on the way in or out without being able to boost away in time. I like to use the fast ships, line up the slot at 10k and boost that baby home... I'm not saying you're scanned every time but the chances are a lot higher, I mean I never get scanned in an ASP or Cobra for example.
I have replied to other posts,, I think what most are not understanding is that if it has not happened to you YET it will, it has nothing to do with skill when your almost to the landing pad and then get scanned and the station kills you with no chance to escape,, Mine was leaving the station and I had no concern leaving because my status was clear (no wanted or Illicit cargo , and the mission only said "some systems "MAY" find your passenger wanted "), I got the scan warning which instantly went to criminal detected and instant death , all this happened in less than 3 seconds,, where is the skill supposed to be in escaping that???
So where do I leave or submit a ticket,, I clicked what I thought was the form but it seemed to simply take me to a forum ?

Hey Ravenstorm2501 the skill part is reading the mission text and then not exiting the Station like your on a Sunday drive.
Check the radar for when the security patrols are clear, boost out of the Station and pop a heat sink at the same time.
You won't get scanned this way ever.

So, that was a rude awakening.
I was just exploded immediately after completion of a scan, because my passenger was wanted in the system he asked me to visit. I'm replying to this thread not to complain, but to ensure that anyone at FDev reading this thread knows what I was expecting.
The warning at mission acceptance is fine. It works as is. As does the notification in the transactions tab. Those do not need to be made more clear.
I'm not going to complain about it being a bounty and getting blown up after a manifest scan. That's what happens when you're Wanted. That's fine.
This is the only thing that's required. The status string tells us when we're carrying illicit cargo, speeding, hostile, or wanted. I'm a decent smuggler. I just expect to be notified when I'm doing it.
The concept that we don't know our passenger is wanted in the system we're currently in until a scan is finished? That's insane. If I'd know my passenger was Wanted in Tau Ceti, I wouldn't have gone there to refuel. Hostile PP NPCs I can evade. Starport guns are inescapable. Honestly, if you really want to crank up the immersion and make this feel even better? When you arrive in a system where your passenger is wanted, have him send you a notification:
Then give us a little tab of warning in the bottom right corner. Since the effect of carrying a Wanted passenger is the same as being Wanted, well, that's all the status string needs to tell us. The fix doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.
Thank you.

I have done many a smuggle missions prior to this release,, I know how to avoid scans,, what I am saying is the status string after I loaded the passengers was clear, before it would say "wanted / illicit cargo ect..." but 1 it does NOT, and 2 even before when I had the illicit cargo I would get a fine , NOT instant death. I ran a lot of the robigo runs and the scans gave me a chance to react, fire at the security force or bolt away from or boost faster into the station,, Now it goes from scan to wanted to death all in 3 sec's. I have yet to have the death after entering the station but many have.. that is where the skill goes, no chance to react. wait till it happens to you, you will think different.
I must be stupid. 30 million credits gone from 3 of these insta deaths. I dont feel like playing anymore.
When a game mechanic makes people want to be on the forums more than play the game ITS A BAD GAME MECHANIC.
Love the game. Hate dying and losing 2 weeks worth of credits in a weekend. sorry.

If you put your landing gear down on the Beluga it lowers the massive tail. Helpful for the mailslot / toast rack.

Well just last night I was carrying 2 Criminal Masterminds and I heard 'Scan detected'. I raced into the slot and broke line of sight with the Security ship scanning me. I survived, it certainly was exciting.
Either way I'm prepared to die for a bit of fun, the game does give you the tools to avoid scans.

It's asinine and Frontier are asinine for setting it up that way. Happened to me too. It is so..... asinine to have a mission available where you WILL get your ship blown up. I mean, what is the F'ing point.
