Horizons Shortest Passenger Mission!

I accepted a fairly lucrative mission to take a General +5 sightseeing. As with many of the missions it stated he didn't like being scanned.
As I exited the letterbox I was scanned - mission update - take me back; 9minutes allowed!
Turned around, landed, got my relationship downgraded and a rude message - don't expect to carry any more military.
I'm obviously in the wrong business ... :mad:

I tend to avoid taking on passengers that have this scan phobia because they always prove to be more trouble than they're worth. Especially considering that there are plenty of other missions on offer that do not involve picky passengers like this.

But, if you do take one of these on either deliberately or by mistake, you need to treat the mission the same as a smuggling mission, and fly the basic techniques a smuggler needs to use. Basically, boosting out of stations, and never using the Docking Computer to fly the approach into a station. (Once inside its safe to let the DC land the ship if you want)

Sorry. :x Yea, it's terrible I know, but the image of it made me burst in laughter.

I must admit I smiled! It did seem to add a bit of realism as much of the stuff we do lacks that.

I would have liked a short dialogue with him I must admit -= as I applied my pilot's boot to his backside!

I have done a few and had a rude comment, but nothing more. I must confess I hadn't thought about the departure scan. They seem very much more common now.
