Is it possible to move drugs from system to system without getting nicked by Concord?

I have tried hiding them in a container etc, did not workSad

Just curious about the game mechanics for it really.

Thanks.

A. Its not concord but the faction custom officers that scan you.

B. Nope. If you are carrying it it will be scanned.

It might be possible to slip past customs scans if you're flying a ship with a covert ops cloak and are quick to cloak off the gate, but I'm not certain.

Orca's are the primary tool for moving drugs in high-sec.... Their Corporate hangars are "currently" immune to scanning, and that allows you to move them without difficulty...

You can add faction police to your overview... and then use a scout to check each gate for custom's officers... To my knowledge it's only the custom's officers that will scan/confiscate your goods... I would google drug smuggling, as there's bound to be a guide on it...

It use to be true that Orca cargo holds were unscanable by customs ships, however it they can scan it now. There is no know way to conceal drugs and the like in eve. A cloaky ship and quickly warping from gate to gate does generally work, but if you lag it can go poorly. Also you can move drugs via low sec and wormholes.

I stand corrected with the orca...

Thank you for the replies.

If only it was this difficult to move illegal drugs around in real life.

Interceptors are usually good, not sure if they fixed it (probably did) but you used to be able to warp off if you didn't answer them when they asked if you would give them up or be killed P

Yea we need to scan every citizens home daily to find any trace of contraband and then brutally punish them even if they only have a small amount of drugs. Twisted
