So i know you used to be able to transport drugs through HS in an orca's corp hanger, but with its nerf, is it now cloaky haulers that do the trick?

Thanks in advance.

p.s. no idea if this is the right section of the forums

You might be able to use a cloaky hauler but not sure if they changed that. Might have been mentioned in the dev blog announcing the change.

More then likely either scout your path or run like the wind.

Do it the ol' fashion way, condom full of blue pills up the bum in your pod. They can scan down your cargo all day but they won't find it up there. Anyways I think one variant of the blockade runners are able to do this with relative little recourse so long as you're competent, but as previously stated CCP could have given concord super scanners.

Corp hangar was still scannable by concord.

No need to take them through high sec :)
Have a chat to OAP home owners from "The Retirement Club" and move them direct to 6NJ in Venal.

We have a greater need for drugs of all sort than any other organisation in EVE.

WHY? i hear you ask.
Well the old dears in the retirement club are old. grumpy and have a variety of embarrassing personal problems. they need a wide variety of drugs to combat this.
For those of us employed as their carers we need an array of party drugs for when we have sedated the bitter vets sufficiently for the evening.

Seriously though chat to the alliance leadership to arrange bulk selling etc.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

For a long time it wasn't scannable by Customs. Then they made it scannable by customs, and then, more recently, by other players.


I was under the impression that the traditional way was an alt with a fast frigate and a negative wallet.

The T2 cloaky transport says its' immune to cargo scans, not sure if this applies to customs as well. I'd be interested to find out though.

Oh hell I just spit coffee out my nose.

Clearly the answer to your question is:

UP YOUR ARSE!!

Pack it all in tins of coffee... the dogs can't tell if it's a truly horrible French Roast or just some ground up cocoa husks...

That was ruled as an exploit a long time ago I thought, maintaining a negative balance on an alt. Did it change?

The best way is to fast-talk somebody else into doing it and absorbing the risk once you have collateral.

Pimped pirate battleship. They resist concord/faction navy much better to give you higher chance of success.

Customs can scan it. CCP said so when they made the change.

The reasons you want to take them through high sec:

You got them in high sec, in a mission. Now you want to move them out.

You want to take them to The Bunny Club, which is in Jita.

Hi there. I've been doing booster production for a while now. Let me see if I can help you.

If you're simply buying the boosters from a market to move them to sell elsewhere, my best success has come from using a nano-fibered interceptor. Your align time is your key to success. A critical tip is that you should not be typing to anyone when you're transporting boosters through high sec. When the customs police scans you, they open a conversation where you hit a "Yes" or a "No". Basically, you want to hit that no and run as fast as you can. If you're typing, you could accidentally hit the enter key and hit "Yes" which means they take your ship, your boosters, and fine you for the amount of the boosters. I highly discourage anyone from moving actual boosters through high security space. But if you do so, you really need a fast-aligning ship -- use an interceptor.

However, if you are actually manufacturing the boosters, think outside the box a little. The final product booster is the actual illegal commodity -- not its pure form, the chemical form you make in your POS through reactions. Meaning, you can do 90% of the production of the booster in your high security (or wherever) POS and not run into any trouble. When you're actually ready to make the official booster (in a drug lab), you should set up a temporary low sec POS to finish the production. It only takes a few hours to make a batch of boosters into their final form. When you're done baking your boosters, take the POS down until you're ready to make your next batch.

You can fly through low sec with the boosters without the worry of customs police. And, sell your boosters in a low sec system in the same region as a large trade hub. People will go decent distances to get boosters -- especially in bulk. Let them have to worry about the customs officers, not you!
