Yes it's still good, but the right routes are now much harder to find now. Just hit Elite trading rank doing it

Can you define good? I was always hoping there would still be routes out there but for 1500 profit per tonne witha risk of fine. Trading more profitable. So intrigued if it was a blanket nerf or if you look around there may be some worth while.
I've been running 4.4k/t out and 1.5k/t back, so 5.9k/t route which is better than normal trading as it currently stands. Not a 1 jump route however.

I assume this is by using PP bonuses, right? Could you do that outside of PP space?
That's correct, cannot do this outside PP space.
I ran into this for the first time today, this is nonsense.
Came back from some exploring and needed some adrenaline so Ive been doing "discrete trading" for a couple days.
Had a hold full of hot stuff, was lined up running icy, everything textbook, right before I hit the cowcatcher "FINE FOR ILLICIT CARGO".
There was no scan, no message, no warning nothing.
What gives on this?
I've very occasionally seen System Defence ships show up at outposts, since way back near the start of 1.2. I think they're more rendom spawns than deliberate patrols.
today all system offs, less than 20c temperature, ship making no noise on the lower right graph.
NO SCAN
FINE GIVEN.
what the hell?

What else is missing on not being scanned or is Silent Running a cosmetic function to seem cool?
Silent running is a means to lower your chance of being scanned by locking all of the heat inside of your ship, it's not a means to be immune. It lowers the range from which you can be scanned. If Authority gets a visual on you, they CAN close in and still do a scan. You need to shake your ass and get in the slot.

This is a recent change. Before i had full confidence in the smuggling mechanic.
If you were caught it was your fault, the current system is unrealistic, biased and quite obviously broken.

What are you talking about, silent running has been this way since release. Not being notified of being scanned is of course a bug that just popped up.

did you not read the thread? we are talking about ninja fines without being scanned while smuggling. Silent Running is just one the mechanics in question.
Yes, I read it. I'm not doing this circle with you. Silent Running is working as intended, the lack of scan notification is a bug and I reported it. Have a good one.
we'll see how it goes
