Silent Running not working since update ?

[heathenlamb]

I am just curious if anyone else is having issues with Silent Running since the update. I am suddenly getting scanned by stations despite running silent. I got scanned last night and destroyed by the station despite running silent. I've been doing silent docking for yrs without a problem, but since the update it simply doesn't seem to be working.

Has anyone else experienced this ?

I don't know if there have been any changes with the latest update, but silent running has never categorically prevented scans. It just makes the scanning vessel need to approach more closely. If you fly through their FoV, they should attempt to scan you regardless of silent running.

Oh I get that ... I've just never had an issue with it at all. Just seems since the update it's gotten real hit and miss.

Honestly wouldn't shock me given the mess they made with the update. Out of interest, are the unexpected scans happening in systems with powerplay going on? Becasue that seems to be the root cause of a lot of bugs.

Dunno about the bug. But that is the reason I have Heat Sinks on when I smuggle - just pop it as soon as you hear/see "Scan Detected", it'll stop the scan. Pop another one if the time given by the first is not enough to get away or dock and you're getting scanned again...

I used silent running hacking the signs. It worked as normal for me.

I sensed "Power NPC" always could detect me even in my Silent Running. And same time it seemed that "Power NPC" came closer than other Security Ships before completing their scanning. I think this means "Power NPC" ship can detect Silent Running Ship even before scanning????

SR works for me. So click silent running when your scanned, then pop a heatsink. Then fly very quickly to land or dock.
Pop another sink if heat goes over 10%
