Smuggling to outposts and planets is significantly riskier than smuggling to [[Starport|starports]]. When landing at an outpost, or on a planet, you do not have a mail-slot that stops your scan. To be un-scannable in these situations you must land and retract your ship underground. Outposts in general have low occurrences of patrol ships. If there are patrol ships, enter supercruise and return after a short while: it will be likely that the patrol ships will have left the area. Planetary installations usually come supplied with patrol ships flying around the surface near the space port. The number will depend on the security rating of the system you are in. | Smuggling to outposts and planets is significantly riskier than smuggling to [[Starport|starports]].

Patrol ships on high-gravity worlds fly cautiously, and often rely on their yaw and vertical thrusters to approach and scan ships. If you, the patrol ship and your landing pad are positioned correctly, you can fly past an approaching patrol ship before it completes its scan, gaining a short window of time to dock while the patrol ship is slowly turning around. | |||
