With multiple high-risk, sure, there's a good chance that renaming your ship is not going to fool them. Medium risk, though, the chance is only 10% per contract per scan, so if you hit the injectors coming out of the wormhole, you might be out of range before they realise who you are.

Quick one: would this code show up all the assassins in scanner range of the player?

Code: Select all

var assassinships = system.shipsWithRole("assassin", player.ship, 25600)
Or do I need to do "assassin-light", "assassin-heavy" etc. and call it multiple times?

Yes. Also, shipsWithPrimaryRole, not shipsWithRole, or you'll pick up any ship class which is used by assassins.
