IF every station scans ya and ya won't know until after you've accepted the load and got to the destination. How do you get past being scaned. RIght now I am only hauling legal, but there some big bucks to be made hauling illegal and most are realitively short runs so it not only easy buy fast.
Illegal missions
- Thread starter Cmdr Nemo
- Start date
you must run very fast
Scans can only be completed outside of the slot so time it with the police being on the opposite end of the station and speed your through the slot. Even if they start to hit you with the scan, you can still get into the station before it completes. But yeah, that's smuggling...
Jabba's through with you! He has no use for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser...or crashes in to the side of the Spaceport trying to beat a scan
Also look into Silent Running - if they can't see you, they can't scan you (but you will overheat - unless you have heatsinks).
I actually find I can avoid scans most times just by lining up with the slot in SC (you can tell from the station graphic and normally the slot faced the planet)
Edit: Obviously liming up in SC - then full-tilt into the slot (while asking permission at the same time )
Edit2: And most outposts won't scan you, so safer for smuggling

So turn off the auto lander and put in silent mode at or about what distance so over heat won't be a problem assuming it takes a little while. Once in turn off silent mode. Correct.
Maybe a stupid question, how does one know were the police are? I can enter realitively fast, so that's not a problem. But I have no idea where the cops are. But once your in, your good to land right. Or what?
I believe the police are just in ships - you can see them on the scanner & in contacts. Once you are in the slot they cannot complete their scan so you are safe & can use DC - whatever (just try to not go in so fast you bounce off the back of the station).
Planet bases can be tricksy as some have police, but there's no 'slot' to protect you

Just speed mate doesn't matter if you get fined get in there as quick and fast as possible.
