How to Hide Contrabands
Finally, go to your ship and add the contraband to the cargo.
Shielded Cargo Holds merely lower the likelihood of scanners detecting the Contraband. It doesn’t provide absolute certainty. For instance, if your shielded cargo capacity is 280, and your Contraband has a mass of only 10.00, the chances of detection are significantly reduced. Conversely, if your shielded cargo capacity is 280 and the cumulative mass of Contraband on your ship approaches 280, the risk of detection increases.
