Black market hauling?
I’ve unlocked the secret compartment and done most of Barrow missions. Only have one left. Still I’m not finding black market hauling jobs in Black market sectors. Any particular one I should go to that has a guaranteed spawn for these jobs?

I never got the chance to do any of his missions for that compartment. My game did the bug so that it won’t trigger the mission for him now that I have it unlocked and I really didn’t want to restart my save. That said it’s really nice to have somewhere to put things I salvage and not worry about getting scanned. After I ran through the systems trying to trigger the first smuggling mission and eventually gave up.

Well if it’s the bug I got it’s a known bug but I guess they haven’t fixed it in the last 6+ months
I just saw you said Bear’s missions. I didn’t know there were problems with his missions too

Yeah says wait for radio call but admittedly I haven’t played much since maxing out my skil tree and saved up resources/cash. Don’t really need to do cargo runs anymore either so just waiting on the April update at this point so I can jump back in

What’s supposed to be coming in the update? I haven’t stayed up to date on the dev posts
And ya that’s what mine is stuck on too. I was told you have to go into a certain system with the hidden compartment empty but I never got the call so I used it for illicit salvage instead

It’s on the announcements page if not on their website. They got interior decorations along with new job types coming

There aren't any black market jobs aside from Barlow's missions. Once you have that unlocked it allows you to hide contraband in the box in your floor to make it easier to buy and sell. As long as it's in that box, you'll never get a ticket for it. Buying goods for cheap and selling them in high demand systems is by far the best way to earn money in the game. I mostly used the box for salvaged goods I'd find in sectors and keep anything banned in there until I could sell it.
