Hard Time at Robigo Tonight

I've now successfully completed exactly 500 Robigo missions. I thought I'd seen it all.

Tonight I went on a run. It was fairly quiet going to the first station, to which I successfully delivered. I then had a quiet trip to the next station. I boosted in as normal and landed without seeing anything unusual. I'm not sure whether I delivered the cargo because I wasn't concentrating. I was sort of on automatic pilot. When I pulled up the galaxy map to plot my next delivery, there were no markers on the map, so I checked my transactions to see all failed. I guessed I must have missed something somewhere because I wasn't aware of any scans.

I went back to Robigo to get some more missions. When I was just about to take off, I got "Scan detected" and there was a green marker on my radar, which was "Internal Security Service". I've never seen that before. Luckily, I was already prepared for a sharp exit, so I got away before the scan completed.

Again, a very quiet trip to the first successful delivery point, which was now making me suspicious that something wasn't right. I travelled to the next outpost without interruption. As I approached the landing pad, there was nobody about, so I landed as normal and went straight into the hanger, but just after I clicked to enter the hangar, I got "Scan detected" again, but I was helpless because I was in the hands of the hangar loading system. I lost all the missions again.

For some reason, the RNG gods were after me tonight, not that it worries me because I can load up with missions again tomorrow. Hopefully normal service will be resumed.
 
I had a night like that the other night which humbled me a bit as I was starting to think I was an awesome smuggler lol.

I went off had a brew ,then went back up there-)
 
Have you said or done anything to upset the Mistress at all?

I did once, a long time ago and so got 'Scan detected' as soon as I clicked, Accept, on the shadow missions.
 
I guess that there's lots of random things that's programmed in to the game, which are beyond your control. I'm sure the results of the mini-game and who's going to inderdict you are fixed before you start too.
 
I think they started adding things on the dl to make robigo harder...I notice now alot of the time outposts refuse me landing while I wait for an npc to land or take off having me just hang there for 2-3 minutes.At least once this was long enough for system security to wake in.
I also notice the board is not switching missions as much when you jump modes
