Scanning scrambler?
Hi and ill start off by saying sorry for this post as im sure ppl will say use the search function or its been asked a trillian times,but im sure ive seen somwhere that i can purchase a scrambler so i can smuggle contriband.
Ive spent an hour searching through posts and using the search/extra search but i have to go out now for a few hours.
So if anyone has the time can they link me to a post that explains where and how i can get this peice of equipment or possibly just put it in this post.
Thanks for reading and sorry if it gets asked a billion times

The scrambler doesn't mask contraband goods.
It is a software signature scambler. It masks the system override software (which is illegal) SOS allows you to claim empty ships without having to eject from your ship.
If you're transporting slaves/weed/spacefuel you'll still get hassle if you get scanned.
Answer for contraband goods is to either not get caught, be good at running / fighting or dont carry it yourself - remotely command a freighter to do it for you.
The scrambler itself isn't bought normally. I was offered a mission on the BBS to go find a precious cargo. When I brought it back, I was offered 500,000 credits or a scrambler as my reward.

It's also offered in a standalone message, for something like a million+ credits. That's where I got mine. But that message is also rare. Sounds like you got a good deal, though.Kitch wrote:.....

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.
X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

Best mission I've been on too.Nanook wrote:It's also offered in a standalone message, for something like a million+ credits. That's where I got mine. But that message is also rare. Sounds like you got a good deal, though.Kitch wrote:.....

Got a sector to go look in, got detailed location from a scan of the item's location and then had to beat off every lowlife scumbag who also wanted it. And they were pretty tough too.
A really good BBS mission, and 500 grand isnt too shabby either (same as a medium/high assassination mission)
