First
Where do i get shielded cargo
Do i just store contraband into the ship? Or is shielded cargo have a different panel u need to access?
I’m confused where to get the shielded cargo
bruh I got the shielded cargo & signal jammers but I keep getting 0% pass rate for contraband check
Shielded Cargo can be purchased from the guy at The Red Mile. Probably don't do anything else but outfit your ship since it's a level 30 system
i can’t even find any
If you need Shielded Cargo – https://youtu.be/w3-IS9y7BJM (Apologies. I thought it was available at all locations) Thanks to @ericgoestowar for the info!

Silly question, but I have shielded cargo and I’m still getting “caught”. With a 0% success rate. I have 900+ shielded cargo space, am I doing something wrong?
I have it in my ships cargo and i have 3 scan deflectors and its still a 0% chance everytime
I have contraband on my ships cargo, but I “cannot remove quest items from inventory” so how tf am I supposed to hide it?
Found a probally unintended way to get contraband into new Atlantis. I have an outpost outside of the city and while I’m being scanned I quickly fast travel to outpost place the contraband in a chest then go back into orbit get scanned head back grab the goods and land in the city
I managed to abuse the fast travel system to smuggle contraband without the shielded cargo space. I got onto my ship, then dropped the contraband onto the floor. I then exited the ship onto the planet I was on, and then fast traveled to new atlantis. I then picked the contraband up off the floor and put it into the cargo. Then I just sold it at the trade store in the well. Normally if you have contraband, it greys out the fast travel options to force you to pass the scan after you warp to the planet, but I skipped the scan. Unfortunately, I didn't get the achievement for smuggling contraband, even though the stats say I smuggled 10 contraband. I think you have to actually fool the scan in space to get the achievement.
Ive accidentally found like a contraband that is worth 20k which is as much money as i have atm, but i cant seem to get to anywhere i can sell it to. the Space cops always catch me, where can i sell this stuff as ive just started.
I didnt even know the ship builder section is where you bought other parts for the ship. I was so confused for days. Fml.
I did none of these options to getting shielded cargo holds. I've donne very little main story as I've gone as far as going to the Eye. I've never been to the red mile, nor taken ownership of a ship that had one previously installed. I do have skill points in payload and starship design. When looking at the different cargo options I have about 5-10 different options to choose from
It’s a bit stupid then because there’s a quest I’m on for the crimson fleet stolen an award (earth saviour award) it’s contraband and won’t let me store it in any cargo bay as it’s a mission item worth 65000cr next part of the mission wants me landing in UC port so mission won’t progress
Articulate!
