==Finding Equipment==
===Finding Equipment===
Shielded Cargo holds and Scan Jammers will be scarce at [[vendors]], but you may find ships with one or both already installed. If you still find yourself in need of further concealment, the [[Payloads]] [[skill]] will make guard ships less likely to detect contraband.

==Where to Sell Stolen Items==
Stolen items and Contraband items can be sold to specialized vendors that accept these goods. One of the first vendors you may encounter is in [[Neon City]], in the [[Trade Authority]] Building, named [[Kolman Lang]].
Stolen items are different than Contraband in that you won't be stopped by the [[Guards]] and it won't be found when you are scanned.
