Are customs officials broken ? I thought I got lucky today that I was able to drive some slaves into minmatar space by accident (wrong gate), but it got me interested in customs. So I decided to test how often they scan you, I put a bunch of slaves in the hold of a frig (for cheapness) and started heading for rens. They would not do anything to me no matter what I did. I sat there bumping a minmatar customs official in pator (1.0 sec) with a hold full of highly illegal slaves for 15 minutes, and he never did anything.
Maybe a recent patch broke all the customs agents ? If so I guess it's open season for contraband in empire |

lol...next time bring drugs.
I'm not sure if they really scan you and kill you though...perhaps it's a trick.

The Customs scan you only on Jump in -> Either you get scanned, or not. Thats chance based. If you have good Standing, the chance even get lower.

I just jumped back and forth through the same gate 20 times in a row and still zero response from customs. Also do you have a source on the second thing ? No where else (inclusing the CCP page, https://support.eve-online.com/Pages/KB/Article.aspx?id=156 ) have I seen it mentioned that your standing makes any difference. Even if it did, I have -1.2 minmatar sec so I think they should have stopped me by now.

Not related to customs. I have deep negative standing to Minmatar, I accidentily plotted a route right through Heimatar flying a battleship. At each gate I got 2 frigates and 1 cruiser spawned at 18km who couldn't lock me before I alligned and warped off (in a battleship...). Think the only NPC guards that actually do something are CONCORD.

I've never been stopped by customs myself and the people I speak to also say it's pretty safe to ignore their very existence.

Man, I wish this was the case back when they first introduced contraband.
Had taken a break from Eve, had been bringing a bunch of loot from Khanid space to Amarrian space when I last logged out. Logged in in a Domi at a gate full of Amarrian tags and high-end mission loot. Scrambled, fined, and pwned by Customs in 30 seconds, plus my Amarrian standing dropped by over 5 full points (had been close to 8, knocked down to just under 3).
So once upon a time they DID do something :P Were they working prior to Revelations?

once you hit -2, the faction police are supposed to chase you in 1.0 and .9 space.
tried it a year ago, and it was working...sec too high now.

Pre-revelations I used to get scanned and notified if i carried contraband, since Rev came out I been haulin my drugs, slaves, small arms, whatever contraband loot i got all over the place and never once has customs blinked.
Personally I believe theyre either broken, or I'm as uber a smuggler as I tell everyone i am lol .
☼☼☼ Don't even THINK about it rookie...I have all my capacitor and more hit points than you can POSSIBLY imagine. ☼☼☼
