Edited by: Legionn on 18/07/2006 05:32:31 Edited by: Legionn on 18/07/2006 05:32:10 So my agent is offering me 5mil to give her 1000 units of Viral Agent, 2 problems; obvioulsy it's illegal and I cannot find a single unit of this stuff anywhere.
Is it manufacturable or only lootable, and how do I aquire it? Also what would be the point of illicit goods if they can't be smuggled around so how do I go about doing this?

It is, just about, possible to move the things around where they're contraband, but it's goddam difficult. Odds are you'll lose more ISK in ships destroyed than the offer will be worth.
IIRC, Blood Raiders sell the stuff. That might be about the only place you can buy it at non-insanely-high prices, and then you've got the problem of getting it out of Delve in one piece, even before you try to dodge Customs with it. ________________________________________________

I read that the best way to smuggle illegal stuff is to use a fast nimble ship with good instas. What are instas?
Can you tell when customs are scanning you? If I was to place the goods in a container and then put the container in my cargohold, they'll be able to see the container but can they see though my cargohold and the container to what I'm carrying?

Apparently, shrinkwraps (the funny-looking crate that appears when you create a courier mission) are opaque to customs scan. But I haven't tried it. ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." ---------------------------------------------- |

they can be got off missions where u intercept blood raiders carrying viral agents to drop over a planet (its one of the slighlty rarer ones but its doable for gallente and some minmatar agents)

The problem with this approach is that you can't put illegal items into a courier missions.

Keep in mind that those are offers that you can decline with no penalty. Up until now , i haven't seen a single offer that would justify the risk

Edited by: Legionn on 19/07/2006 19:03:21 I have never done a corrier mission so I have no clue what a shrinkwrap is but a s it appears they can't be loaded with illicits. What about using cargo containers? place the drugs in one of those and then the container in your cargohold?
I know that these offers acn be refused with no penalty but I just want to do it because it's going to be hard. The thrill of acheivement is worth more than the meager cash.
My plan was to go to a Thukkor Tribe station and purchase a unit or two, place it in a small cargo container, place the container in my hold and sit near a stargate and see how long it takes them to notice what I'm carrying and then warp back out. Do this a couple times to get the detection timing down and then try to smuggle the whole load back to where I need it. BTW I'm using an Imacus for this, cheap with a larger hold than other frigates.
Any suggestions or recent experience with this would be appreaciated.
On second thought, maybe I never saw one, but is there a module that will scramble cargo scanners so they can't see what your carrying?

Such a module does not exist.
There is a report on the General Discussions forum of a guy who tried this, just to see what happened .. he got all the way into main empire (21 jumps) and back again, without ever being shot at or fined. So maybe it can be done.
If you do want to try it, good luck. A cheap frigate that it won't hurt you to lose if definitely the way to try. ________________________________________________

Hmm, I cannot seem to find a place in Thukkor space to purchase and Vural Agent. Am I just missing it? Never bought these things before any help as to which NPC sells them?

According to the item databse here the Thukkor Tribe sells them, I just can't find the seller.

Another take on the shrinkwrap idea; first of all, can you shrinkwrap illegal items where it's legal (example; small arms in Gallente space)?
And is it possible to shrinkwrap a container with the stuff in it?
I'm thinking of running guns into Amarr.
