Scanners don't work through warp points. They are only useful to see what components are on ships that you can see are there anyway. They don't help to see cloaked ships either you need sensors to do that (not combat sensors those are different too). So they are of limited usefullness but maybe a bit more useful in simultaneous games than in tactical games. (But after combat in simultanious games can't you see the enemy ships configuration in the enemy ships design screen anyway?) Well anyway I don't use them because another weapon or supply crate would probably help your ship survive longer than a scanner.
