How to evade scans in starfield
I discovered this trick today whilst being scanned upon entering orbit at mars
While your cargo hold is being scanned by planetary anti-smuggling patrol, press the menu button and select the maps menu. Navigate to the planetary level of the maps database and select the site you wish to land at. Hold X to land and that's it. Scan evaded, no consequences!
No hassles from ol' "Johnny Law"! No lint from "The Fuzz"! No porkin' from "The Pigs"!
I don't know if this is a bug in the game or a feature, but it seems kind of lame if it's a feature. Part of the fun of the game is getting away with smuggling, or not. I guess it works for those who don't find that aspect of the game too fun, but now that I know this trick, it takes away some of the challenge for me in a game where there's not a whole lot of challenge to begin with; not that it's not fun to play in other ways.
