Newcomer / Intro I fail at smuggling. Help!

[Lenroc elisav]

Hi,
as the title says I always get caught by the station security. Be it with stolen cargo (picked from space) or black boxes or w/e. Tried to "Silent Run" and come in hot (fast) so they don't have time to react to no avail. Didn't try to slow approach cause I heat up too much. I would appreciate any tips or advice to set me straight .

Thanks.

I highly recommend dodging the issue by scouting out stations that possess a black market in advance, then stick to the ones (outposts, generally) that tend to have no security patrols orbiting the station. Once you have some stolen cargo, just make for your preferred offload point, hopefully not too many jumps away, fence your goods, then head back to your hunting or salvaging grounds.

The run to the fence, hoping no security ships in-system interdict you for a routine scan, can be nearly as exciting as trying to make a silent run past the station patrol ... and I'll wager your success rate may prove better.

best are outposts ,less security or anarchy systems for stolen stuff ,black boxes I havent tried yet .But I suggest trying this .Make sure your lined up with dock about 10k away ,turn off as many sys as you can apart from engines/thrusters see how cold you can be ,approach request docking at 7.5 watch the security ,if clear just enter and hit gear it will slow you down fast and you have loads time once inside .if they get close boost away you can always try again if they scan near stat boost in ,once your inside your ok
