Looks like the high value ‘stealth’ hauler Orca will be a thing of the past. May the loot fairies have mercy on you.
I had been wondering what the details would be. It seems somewhat complicated – the requirement for the pilot to use containers to protect items they don’t want to share with the fleet. Why not just have a public and a private hanger division? While I am disappointed to lose my safe transportation option with the Orca, I think overall it isn’t a bad thing as far as the game is concerned. I wouldn’t mind container / rig / module options that reduce the chance of your assets being scanned though.
ive always wanted a scrambler / mod that could give false readings, in some cases you can send out a few ships, with supposed shineys inside them but instead they carry metal scraps,, and have the real ship with loot in it show up with metal scraps when scanned.
I think the suggested mod should even out the field, as there should be a viable counter to cargo scanning. and there should be a viable tactic to bait would be suicide gankers.
