[0.95aRC9] Smuggling... What am I doing wrong?
« on: March 27, 2021, 01:47:15 AM »

So, first campaign on the new version.

Got down to the Bar on Corvus and got a smuggling job to Eventide. 32 Harvested Organs.
No problem! Shielded cargo holds are there to help.
I get there, but get flagged because of the authorities being aware of the operation. Can talk my way out of that with a story point, though.

Then I land on the planet and... Erm. What now?
Nobody in the comms screen.
Nobody in the bar.
And when I just sell the organs to the black market, nothing happens.

The missions remains in my list and is not complete.


What super obvious thing am I missing?

Ok. Wow. I found out what was going on.
You have to get into the market without a transponder and without any fleets being aware of you.
Which is impossible at Eventide, as there's always at least one medium-sized fleet orbiting the world, giving them full coverage of all entry vectors at all times, making "sneaking in" impossible. :(

Had to abandon that mission then.

1.: smaller fleet
2.: stealthier fleet
3.: baiting patrols away from planet
4.: combination of all in any degree

Go to the planet, store all your ships but the absolute must for the smuggling operation, load it up, get away from the planet, go dark, go in like a ninja.
This costs time and resources due to refitting but you are extremely agile and low profile. This is the most extreme case of what you can do if you truly want to be a smuggler. Also this is the most alpha move you can do as you literally store all your contraband right under their nose, and smuggle it from their secure hangar into their blackmarket....it's like a smuggler wetdream
