I stopped by my research agent for a mission, and he wants viral agent, which is now illegal pretty much everywhere. I tried shifting some viral agent using instas, but got blown up anyway; I was locked/webed/scrambleed before I could enter warp.
Is this a bug with the mission, or do I need to figure out a way to avoid customs agents?
If it's not a bug, anyone got advice on running contraband? Or does bypassing customs officers count as an exploit, the same way bypassing CONCORD does?

Personally, if I was a smuggler and knew how to get around the Customs Agents to get illicit good from one place to another, I'd not share the info but make you pay me to get the stuff where you want it ;)
I don't blame you, I'd say the same if I knew how to bypass customs. At this stage I'm not even sure if it is possible to avoid customs (other than senidng an alt through each gate and finding and unwatched route); I know it isn't with the amount of lag curretly being experienced on TQ. I'll submit a bug report and petition and see what happens.

What were you flying by the way? Interceptor, or something else?
Iteron V with 10MN microwarp. It takes 3 seconds from decloaking to entering warp, and it still wasn't enough.
Remember, NPCs have instant targetting.

That's because lvl4 agents haven't been doing any offers yet. Agents will offer facton items to agent runners with a certain amount of LPs. Some agents may ask for illegal goods and might sweeten the offer if you can come up. Smuggling will be huge as soon as agent runners start to get to this level.
Not to mention peopel still need to develop way to zaoivd customs. Currently customs consist of enter system, lag, in pod.
