Where can i get Shielded Cargo?

[VersataMeridian]

Trying to find which other NPC offers shielded cargo - I tried all of these:
= I took the side of SysDef so Crimson Fleet Jazz is not an option
= the guy at The Red Mile is not offering it despite youtube video showing he has the shielded cargo component.
= I tried my outpost and it too doesnt offer Shielded Cargo

What else can i try if at all?

Shielded cargo is in the Ship Builder under the Cargo tab. As you level up and spend skills appropriately the list will unlock with better stuff in it.

So, did "Starship Design" skill open shielded cargo modules for buy and add to ship?

Red Mile is the primary vendor for Shielded Cargo.
Once you visit you will get some of the Shielded Cargo variants at your Landing Pad in the outpost.

The Cargo scanning Jammers are only sold at Red Mile.

One skill point in Deception skill also give you a bonus 10% to evade cargo scans.

This is the right answer. I was going to mention that, but they beat me to it.

Here's a Treasure award, you deserve it.

You probably need to get your level higher if its not appearing at the Red Mile.
You'll need a jammer too. the shielded cargo doesn't work without one.

If all else fails, you could always capture a crimson fleet ship. They almost always have a shielded cargo module on them. Then you can just mod it into the ship you want.

Deception skill, not Payloads. There's an incorrect loading screen tip about that.

Thanks.

The game needs to communicate this better since its like one of the cool things about the game and its completely hidden and even those playing for a long time and have been there wouldnt know this. That place should let the player know its for smuggling in some way, maybe some effort into theme and world building and maybe a little bit of competence by the game makers.

Transporting mech parts may not be legal in space but mechs are cool after all.

I have 2000 cargo hold in my modified ship with shielded cargo and...I don't know what the 'Red Mile' is, so that answer cannot be the only right one.
But it's good to know that you can get these things at some vendors.

I haven't gotten into the shipbuilding but it seems like the chick at the key might have something?

IDK, I didn't spend skills in that category, but some items in the tabs are greyed out for me, so I come to the conclusion that they can be unlocked. Some of them may be of a higher ship class than I currently are allowed to pilot. The Pilot skills is really worth to max out as fast as possible, a fast way to do it is to spend time in the Simulator at UC New Atlantis.

If you have done the Secret Outpost quest, the ship comes with Shielded Cargo.

In addition Shielded Cargo will work without the Jammer, but it will work better WITH the Jammer.

Also if you go past your Shielded Cargo Limit it won't work at all and the Closer you get to your limit it will "Supposedly" Work Less.

I don't really smuggle so take everything I say with a Grain of Salt. I have "Smuggled" but not on my current play. No reason too.

Fixed. I had one level in both. I have like a 90% chance to evade after taking it, before I had 80-85% so there might be a cap on evading. Had to say because it depends how much contraband you are carrying.

This is correct.

FYI: If you FORGOT to put your contraband INTO the ship cargo you get a 0% to evade.
DO NOT PANIC!
Open the menu and move the contraband into your cargo and the chance goes back to normal as if it was shielded.

Theres a quest that leads you to a ship that comes with shielded cargo. I think its called Mantis or something close to that, you get it free after the quest ends, and the quest isnt that long.

[ZombieHunter]

Contraband will automatically be sent to shielded cargo. You won't see shielded and un-shielded sections for cargo. Thankfully. If that were the case, it would have been very tedious.
