TL;DR It should be considered an exploit, same as the way they stopped orca's hiding stuff in their corp hangers.

I am not a ganker but tend to agree there is grounds for further input by CCP. Yes double wrapping is a protection against gankers...something that is plausible however, adaption of the forgotten 'Black Market Trading' skill (which is now obsolete) could be utilised instead.

Therefore, allowing pilots to at least train a skill to enable them a greater chance from being scanned. Should meet both ganker and gank targets requirements per se?

I don't haul, but if you are going to disallow double wrapping then there should fairly be a module to prevent cargo scanning.

Everything in game has a counter. Currently, it seems that double-wrapping is the only counter available to haulers from becoming obvious gank targets.

Unlike the Orca fleet hangars when nothing appeared, you can still see that there is cargo inside the ship. It is up to you whether to risk ganking for it.

Thats not exactly a fair statement saying you can see whats inside, because all you can see is a courier package.

I didn't say that, I said you can see it is actually hauling something whereas the old fleet hangar mechanic made anything in there invisible entirely.

I acknowledge what you said, I'm simply saying it makes no difference its practically like seeing nothing at all.

It gives you the knowledge that the hauler felt it was worth taking the precaution for.

Han Solo had smuggler areas within his 'Millenium Falcon'...

The 'Black Market Trading' skill should be reintroduced, allowing a pilot a % chance of his cargo not showing on a scan. The greater the skill level trained, the greater defence against scans. CCP should also consider adding 'Smuggler' cargo expander modules. Again, the module allowing a % protection against cargo scanners.

I disagree, this is an interesting mechanic that can be used both by concerned haulers and for shenanigans. Yes, on the one hand it "protects" haulers by hiding the value of their cargo (but making it obvious that they're hiding something), but on the other it can be used for cheap bait or to hide the contents of a package from the courier himself, for example to create a worthless courier contract with high collateral that you can then gank.

Obviously it's unintended but so are many other interesting mechanics.

What absolutely should be fixed is the Orca's ship maintenance bay being a safe way to transport any ships, modules or drones.

EDIT: anything in the charge category too.

I think it should be fixed in the way of making multiple-wrapping a feature: say, each additional wrap reduces the chance of your stuff to get scanned by a certain %, or require an additional scanning pass (would be still too op, but you got the idea).
That way it will be neither an exploit, nor a straightforward buff to gank scouting, but a new meta.

I don't see how this would change the fact its creating an exploitable mechanic in which cargo can be hidden in a ship not ment to have invisible cargo holds.

I'd be more interested in them bringing in a module, or another skill into the game to reduce cargo scan efficiency, lets say up to 50%, making scans only show half the cargo per scan.

In this case the cycle time needs to be changed so that it can only cycle 1-2 times before a freighter can reach warp.

Hello, mr. Hi-Sex 'Nado.

I agree that this thing is worth consideration, but...

Suicide ganker tears are priceless!

As a suicide ganker, I must say you tears are hilarious.

Also, T2 blaster Talos to kill an untanked Sigil?
