A '''Cargo Scanner''' is mounted on the utility mount of your ship and needs to be assigned to a fire group before you can use it, just like a weapon. It is used to scan another vessel for any cargo it may be carrying. If any of the cargo in a ship that's been scanned is [[Stolen Goods|stolen]] the owner of that ship will incur a bounty. This applies to players and NPCs alike. | A '''Cargo Scanner''' is mounted on the utility mount of your ship and needs to be assigned to a fire group before you can use it, just like a weapon.

'''Note''' - NPC security forces outside starports may often randomly scan you for cargo to see if you're carrying any [[Stolen Goods|stolen goods]] and/or [[Illegal Goods|illegal goods]]. When you are [[Interdiction|interdicted]] by NPC security forces they usually want to scan your cargo for the same reasons. | '''Note''' - NPC security forces outside starports may often randomly scan you for cargo to see if you're carrying any [[Stolen Goods|stolen goods]] and/or [[Illegal Goods|illegal goods]].
