This is negated at station undock.

Who the hell docks in Amamake besides the local gate campers?

Nevermind that, who brings a blockade runner and docks in amamake for any reason? You'd think by the time you have the SP to fly the thing you would know better.

I foresee blockade runners leading to an explosion in the trade of drugs and illegal goods. Produce drugs in low security POS, ship to high security in your blockade runner. If CONCORD can't scan you then you can't be arrested for transporting contraband, now can you?

It makes more sense than using cargo exploits and Russian dolls to use Orcas for moving around illegal goods, after all. There is a logic to it, and I believe that the above is what CCP intends with these changes.

Well, why is everyone blogging the past 2 months about the rampant increase in high sec freighter ganks ?

Why would it be a problem in Amamake? Arte you incapable of manually piloting to an insta-undock spot?

To be fair, it's pretty hard to cloak at the jita 4-4 undock Blink

Why would you even try?
Well I wouldn't. Just pointing out that a cov-ops cloak does not make your cargo immune to scanning all the time.
How does not being able to cloak at Jita undock, make the cloak unable to provide scan immunity? Like I said, why would you even try?

Don't mind Tippia. I am sure she has some absurd reason that this is true in her world. It won't make sense to the rest of us but she'll keep spouting it until we stop replying and then pat herself on the back.


Also, why was this change needed? Make the DST unscannable. My blockade runner is already unscannable (cloaked).


DSTs need something. They're so pointless.
