Full protected but scan 0%

[kigraa]

i got my ship with all those speciale crates anti scan but scanning give 0% chance of succes..wtf is going on ?

[Just-Some-idiot-Online]

make sure your illegal cargo is actually in your ships cargo, i have made that mistake alot

[MaxCarryWeight]

put loot in cargo, get scan jammer - red mile bro sells them. without anything else i have a 65% chance to roll through.

Does the payload skill actually help like the loading screen says?

[kigraa]

4 scan jammer still 0%.....bethesda it just work !

[RandomSanity]

I have 3 scan jammers and my chance to evade scanning is still 0%, what the heck do these do? I just spent $20k to upgrade my ship to use these.

Do they only work if you place them in specific locations?

There was a mention of something like shield level or total mass reducing your scan jamming. Might wanna check on that.

Shields up, shields down, doesn't matter. Still 0% even with 3 scan jammers.

[kigraa]

same here. rank C ship max everything...0%

[Jaggid Edje]

Did you remember to turn them on?

[kigraa]

what ? u joking right ?

Having the same issue. May just dump contraband at one of my remote outposts until Bethesda patches in a fix.

[kigraa]

now i sell everything to the den. its faster and cheaper

[dodson.t]

I figure out my issue, I think. I bought cargo containers from Red Mile thinking they were shielded because they were of a type I'd never seen available elsewhere. Turns out there were both shielded and unshielded cargo containers available in the ship builder there. I went back and looked more closely and just bought the right kind. (The Panopticon ones are NOT shielded). Posting in case someone else made the same or similar mistake.

Use only 1, I tried two Multi and another for the Cheapest.

ENSURE you have a Shielded Cargo Module (not sure where they are sold, I got mine from my outpost Landpad with Ship Builder).

To get the max Possible (89%) you need the Shielded Cargo, a Multi Freq Jammer and the contraband must be in your ships cargo. The More you put in, the more your protection is reduced. I stick to under 20 with a 160 SHIELDED module and rarely get caught.

When I do. Pay the fine and Take it from the Contraband Container when they turn their back (I have Level 3 Security Perk).

Careful around Jemmison. There is a Quest line there that may prevent you just paying the fine.
