And a last tip just in case, because some people don't know it .

When you carry contraband onboard don't fly through trade lanes inside House space or jumpgates leading to House space.

The police of each House have access to a scan system called TLAGSNET, with which they can scan your ship no matter where they are by typing in a console /scan$(yourship). Oh, and they don't need to see you, a message with your ship's name appears in their hud's in the moment you take a lane or a gate, where did you entered and where did you get out.

That works only in the lanes inside House space (for example, doesn't work in the lanes of Cortez or Tau-29) and when you jump to a House system using a gate (for example, if you jump from Magellan to California, they can scan you, but if you jump from Californa to Magellan don't).

So, if you want to be a smuggler in House space... be prepared for long runs in cruise across the systems (many K above or below the plane of the ecliptic), and to find every jumphole to use them. Oh, and to make strange trips through the House (if you need to go to Pennsylvania from New York carrying contraband, you need first to jump to Texas through the jumphole in the Badlands, and from there to Penn through the jumphole in the Pequeña Negra).
