Quite a hassle to keep your stolen goods safe.
You may have noticed that every time you visit a new world they scan your ship for contraband first. This is problematic because during your exploration you might have nicked some high-value Loot, rare materials, or even gear that you wish to keep for now.
The only method to keep these safe from scanners is to have a shielded cargo module on your ship. Keep reading this guide and I’ll explain exactly what you need to do to keep those Ill gained goods safe.
So far there are two places to obtain shielded cargo modules. The Key, but it requires you to join the Crimson Pirates which might not be for everyone. The easiest alternative would be The Red Mile (The Red Mile, Porrima III, Porrima system).
Head there and meet the sales person. Easy as that. Lon Anderssen is the person to talk to here, best part is that you can pay him a visit pretty early on in the game.
Pay him a visit and have a chat with him, Choose the option “I’d like to view and modify my ships.”
Once the ship menu appears you need to choose the shipbuilder option.
Then choose the add-on option and navigate to the cargo category and find the perfect shielded cargo modules for your ship. There are a few to choose from.
That’s all there is to it.
Just a heads up though. This system is considered a level 30 system so if you are not prepared for that, best to buy your module and head on back to where you were, as it might pose a challenge doing quests here.
