Hi Pirate

I have a very pertinent issue - faction standings loss when carrying Combat Boosters, which are contraband, in high-sec. Now, it isn't always possible to fly a ship with 3 Nanofibs and 3 IS - anything remotely tanky still gets caught by the Customs just as soon as the gate jump is initiated.

So, is there a way to schmuggle Combat Boosters without being discovered? Pirate Haven't tried a Secure Container yet, though I'm certain it won't work.

By the time you reach the roaming grounds and actually find something, the effect will have evaporated. Cry

I seem to remember there being 'Smugglers routes' in EVE. Ones that you could follow and would avoid customs and scans.

Did I imagine these?

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Doesn't help that the best prices for Strong boosters are in hubs like Amarr. Pirate

This would make a lot more sense. Then player "police" could sit on gates with customs agents and potentially catch drug runners with insta-locking ships.

Buy your boosters from Es and Whizz and we will deliver them to your lowsec station of choice. Saving you the hassle of running through highsec.

Don't buy them in high sec!?!? Is that a statement, exclamation, question, or an epiphany? You decide, don't understand the reasoning that you are so risk adverse and cheap that you must always get them in highsec just because they are in highsec.....they are available in lowsec if someone where to put them on the market, but then again lowsec knuckle draggers are the reason most markets are in highsec Roll.

CCP is the reason there is really no "player" driven economy and market hubs in the backwoods when dudes want wild-west open shoot outs without CONCORD showing up, gate choke point and station mechanics, and dumb idiots who camp them yet some idiots complain to break up highsec to create more content cause of trade hubs....doubt it would even make a difference as they would still be face rolling their keyboards in boredom if Udema where to be .4 Lol to break the routes to Jita and Mos Eisley (hive of scum) local. They still got 4 trade hubs to buy from that are not in lowsec Attention

aka highsec is where the trade is at, where the population is at, and bunch of wow kiddies too afraid to lose something other than a destroyer to CONCORD or another player Shocked cause 7-8 bonused gank guns are so cheap and KMs showing up in +.5 space are like watching a kill streak pop up in a FPS for the short attention players X (the wow kiddies)

I see a lot of whining in this post, and I'm all out of cheese and crackers. Damn.

I'm not an expert, but add Customs Drone to your overview and remove Concord, Police, and Faction Navy Drone, and scout the route with an empty ship?

Because they don't have Customs at every single gate, only at certain gates.

Then try to use the autopilot avoidance settings to avoid the star systems with customs; autopilot should plot a different route if one is possible.


The agents have nothing to do with it, the check, scan, etc, is all to do with the gate itself and the security of the system. I have personally been caught on a gate that had no customs agents on it, they just showed up briefly after I told them to suck my nards.

Smuggler stargates were added in nullsec, opening up new connections between regions. Dunno if they ever did them in high too

Top suggestion. Get rid of customs altogether and replace with players.

You are making this way to hard.
Find a trade hub close to your destination, with a lowsec system next to it or a jump away, but all the drugs you want, put it into your cloacky recon/bomber whatever and take low sec route. warp to gate cloaked, jump, warp, cloak.

Now this is what we would call a player solution.
