Elite has spacial profiling.
So this only applies for NPCs and has no influence on any value visible to the palyer for example heat level?
It obvious why the Krait get scanned less, the authorities spend most of their time trying to work out if the ship is upside down or not.

Ships or commanders? Certain ship types or unique player ships?

Can't rep. Sorry.
Talking of NPCs...
Do they also have a conspicuous rating?
By which I mean, is it worth hanging around outside of scanning range waiting for a conspicuous NPC ship to arrive/leave and then sneaking in whilst the cops are busy scanning the NPC?

Doubtful this is the main factor - if a factor at all.
In non-combat careers (0 kills) I am often scanned.
My co-pilot said the same thing and ended up getting blown up by the station for loitering.
Does the spoiler on my T-10 make me less conspicuous than a T-9? [smile]
That would be you, not the ship.
Sandro referred to the ship. But your friendliness to the local factions is also relevant when smuggling/ running criminals because it determines the chances of being scanned.

And you’re just telling us this NOW!? That information would have been useful, oh, I dunno, years ago maybe?
Sandro also spoke about it to Lave Radio a while back during the initial C&P mechanics.

He starts talking about smuggling and each ship's 'ubiquity rating' around 1:26:00. I would also be very interested to learn more about this, but I suspect an element of 'special sauce' in the algorithm is required to keep it exciting!
He does give some detail though: "the larger and more exotic your ship, the more likely authorities are to scan it, and sooner rather than later ... it's quite a strong effect. If you come in in a small ship, or a reasonably cheap ship, or a common ship, you are much less likely to be picked out first, than if you come in swanning out in a Beluga or Fer-de-Lance or something like that".
I have also heard about things like paint condition factoring in on this.

He also didn't preclude faction rank as a contributing element to the overall CR ship rating, so.
x CMDR name variable ... I have a friend with lower ratings than I who gets interdicted constantly. His CMDR name includes ‘Lord’...
... and for a time, I was frequently a victim of interdiction, too...

Thanks, officer. I’ve owned my Fer De Lance for several years now. Amazing ship.
Hmm?
No, I’ve nothing to do with those half dozen ships reported missing. Real shame though. Listen, I’ve really got to be going...

Half dozen missing? In the last hour you mean?
