So,
After some testing, reading, and more testing i came across this movie on youtube.
Now this movie is somewhat outdated but i think not allot has changed since this movie, heat generation works a little different, but i think mechanics have stayed the same.
Point is, i've been trying to do some smuggling sometimes with success, sometimes ending up with a fine.
I'm approaching the letterbox with silent running on, all but thruster modules disabled, flight assist off, just drifting towards the letterbox, with heat less then 10%, regularly deploying heat sinks, to keep my heat at all times below 10%.
AND STILL i get scanned, this just leaves me baffled.
Remember this is with silent running on, so no heat is coming from my actual ship except the thrusters, that are at 0% power too since i'm drifting towards the gate with flight assist off.
Scanners, shield, all modules off except thrusters, with a B rated power plant.
I can off course fly in at 300+ speed, and risk killing someone else, or more probably myself, but that too me just feels like a patch for a mechanic i do not seem to understand.
Can someone explain to me what i'm missing here? This would be very kind.
Kind regards, CMDR Duncan Steel.
