Illegal stuff

walteryx · Dec 22, 2014

Hi everybody,

in bulletin board there are missions regarding illegal stuff to take and bring back. Considering the high reward I am concerned about it but I don't want to get in trouble with police and something like that.

What will happen when, near the station, they will scan my cargo?? Will they fire me??? May I eject the cargo before docking in order to avoid problems and then take it back??

Thanks

This! I've been looking for a comprehensive way to sneak past guarding vessels and into the stations. I have been pretty lucky so far by getting in as fast as possible... kinda like the famous Isinona video but not so overkill. I keep every module on and just gun it for the entrance. I'm sure there has to be a better way though!

Get friendly with the station's controlling faction, so they dont scan you.

haha, so you want to do something illegal but not get caught? There are some stations that have less security around which lets you get in without getting scanned. Dropping the cargo will avoid the scan, but you do get fined (albeit not as much) for ejecting near a station.

There's also silent running - default is Delete key I think.

Isinona's vid can also help if you want to go through those lengths. Should be easy to search for if you havn't seen already.

System authority vessels will still scan you even if you are friendly or allied.
The station doesn't scan you, the NPC's outside do, so you could get in using silent running, just watch your temperature.

When you jump in and approach the station you usually should be able to see what direction security ships go. I usually go the opposite way and center myself from the distance with station entrance then - full speed ahead with boost, request docking and fly in as fast as possible. You can break inside the station. The problem is that in a current build your docking platform lighting some times goes off and you have to fly around until it comes back on if you haven't noticed which platform I twad ahead of time. This of course is not for you if you fly things like Type 9. I strongly recommend to refrain from flying that ship with illegal cargo on maximum speeds with boost through the station entrance lol

Also station entrances face in the direction of the planet so if you spend a bit more time in SC and approach between the station and the planet from 90 degrees to the plane of the station orbit then turn to face the station once your close you will come out of SC somewhere in the front of the station and so can boost in a lot easier. I turn silent running on too usually if it's a station I don't want to lose rep with. Remember too that the system security vessels have to keep you in front of them same as when you're scanning so even if you see "Scan Detected" you can still get through the entrance before the scan finishes.

If possible take these missions from platforms (opposed to stations), as they rarely have security ships flying round scanning evrything that moves. So you should be able to rock up as per normal without trying to sneak on.
