Default Long Range Scaners

Hi

I have Long Range Scaner I on the ship but I can't see anything in the other systems. What mean scan 1 sector away? Can I see other system if this ship is on Warp Point in another system?

Thanks

1 sector is one square in each system. With long range scanner 1 you have to be 'right next' to the ship you are trying to scan, not one whole system away.

The Long Range Scanner scans enemy ships to see what the design is. Scan 1 sector away means you can scan a ship that is in the sector beside your ship that has the scanner. Scan 3 sectors means your ship can scan ships that are up to 3 movement points away. I can't really describe it well, hopefully someone else can do a better job

You also get to spy on the ship's damaged components and the cargo they're carrying!

... and their supply level.

And no, it won't scan through a warp point.
