shielded cargo not working

[littledude]

hey guys
has anyone had any issues with shielded cargo
i keep getting 0% scan evasion with any smuggled goods when the goods are inside my shielded cargo bay

Never bothered with smuggling much so far. Gonna try that. Where did you get your shielded cargo ?

[Jaggid Edje]

You probably have contraband in your personal inventory. Or on your ship or a container on your ship. Shielded cargo holds work ONLY for contraband that is actually inside the ship's cargo hold. If you have any contraband elsewhere, it won't help you.

I had Aurora in my personal inventory the last time I showed 0% scan evasion, despite having a few thousand capacity of shielded cargo. All it takes is a single contraband item somewhere in the ship that is NOT the cargo hold for it to become 0% scan evasion.

You not only need shielded cargo, also a jammer and if posible the right skills to compliment it.

But honestly... shielded is overrated. Just go to The Den and get rid of it before heading back into civilized space

Not sure what you mean by Shielded Cargo Bay. They go in the Regular Cargo bay.

Some things to check. Having a number of Contraband that exceeds your shielded Cargo. The more Contraband you have is supposed to reduce the effectiveness of the shielded Cargo. So having like 10 Mass of Contraband "shouldn't" effect the number. Having 159 out of 160 will likely effect it. Having 500 of 160 definately have it.

Also make sure you don't have any on you or in a dead body or just lying somewhere in the ship somewhere.

Red Mile on Porrima III sells the scan jammers to complement your shielded cargo bay btw.

Alternatively, you can get them at The Key. Arr! ☠

(No stacking, apparently, so just the one jammer.)

Hmm, seeing you say this made me think.... should the jammer actually be near the shielded cargo modules to get the best of the jammer effect? Anyone tested this?

Doesn't make a difference where it is on your ship. I have my jammer mounted to the underside of my Landing Bay. My shielded cargo is no where near it. Still have 90% evasion (which is the best you can get as far as I can tell).

No you talk to the ship tech called LOD in the office on the right side when you just came in the place. Then go to modify ship, hit up cargo tab and there you find cargobays with the word SHIELDED into them
