I feel soooo stupid, I lost my uninsured Typhoon to the contraband "feature" this weekend, my agent gave me a "collect viral agent" mission, and in one of the cans I found something called Crash, didnt think about it, just looted it. When arriving to a gate on my way home, Gallente Customs shot me down...auch.
Its okey with this new feature but there should a window popup telling the player that he was going to loot contraband and there was a big risk of taking it.

Also the NPC response is somewhat overwhelming.
I can understand that CONCORD ships need to be strong. They are there to prevent ganking.
Transporting illegal goods on the other hand is an NPC crime and should be met with an appropriate response :- i.e. something other than instant death upon detection.

yeah, very overwhelming, they could confiscate the contraband and maybe give you a fine or other kind of penalty, but instant death is somewhat exaggerated

Corpmate of mine did the Slave trader mission in his uninsured MegaT. Normally no problem at all.
Kills all stuff, loots all stuff, picks up the slaver, the prisoners and OUCH the 10 slaves allso.
Comes at the fate. Get's a fine for 750K for having 10 slaves aboard. And after paying the fine the gatesentries and all ships there blast his MegaT.
Why even pay a fine if your going to get shot anyways.
Better to try and fail, then to fail due to not trying |

They do confiscate it, but Crash is one of those really hard drugs so anyone found it some gets a one way ticket to podville. There are a number of different severity levels for contraband and crash must have been right up at the top for the region he was in.

The is a BIG difference between the faction coppers and the customs guy, they call in the sentries and the local coppers to gank you as well as the customs ships. I have been ganked twice on the dev server testing the possibilities of running a smuggling racket  but up to now, they have nailed everything I send through 
Starsi dont make Eve Pilots, but if they did, i wouldnt be one of them. |

Are you really sure about that (replacement of ship)? I believe that you are wrong but on the other hand it I could be me who's wrong...

If your agent did not tell you of the dangers of your mission you can try and petition the loss of your ship.
The GM's are aware that many problems are occuring because of Exodus release but they still decide whether to replace your ship or not, although it never hurts to try to petition when they made replace it.

File a petition and request reimbursement. Reimbursement cases are being reviewed on a case-by-case basis and the GMs have been informed to be more liberal with contraband cases than they have been in the past. If it is not possible to file a petition, use the "Ask a Question" link.
