Smuggler's Cargo bay

[Fost]

Might be cool to have a smuggler's cargo bay piece of equipment - adds extra shielding so scans don't penetrate at expense of a little space and weight. Scooped cargo marked as illegal automatically goes in here.

Perhaps something that can only be attained on the black market when allied with a local pirate faction?

Yup, a special (and expensive) cargo rack of limited size which content would be invisible to scans, or appear as legit, low value cargo. That cargo rack would have lower capacity of a normal cargo rack of the same class and rating.
Maybe the hidden cargo could be revealed on a second consecutive scan or using a grade A cargo scan? It should not make smuggling *too* easy either. It's easy enough as it is using chaffs and silent running.

+1 on this, I think there should be an inexpensive version of it available for entry level smuggling but limit it to 1 or 2 tons
