Re: Can I scan an enemy planet?
There is an intel project that tells you what's on a planet... I think it's called "Covert Recon".

Re: Can I scan an enemy planet?
Those sensors on Star Trek can do all sorts of amazing things like pinpoint one Vulcan from an entire planet of humans, locate a small piece of platinum on a continent, and so on. It should be easy to scan for something as big as a facility.

Re: Can I scan an enemy planet?
and it's kinda strange that they do, since they do have cloaked scanning ability.

This only works in human-controlled tactical combat, right?

Sending a suicide fighter and then using the Combat Replay should be working I suppose. (Perhaps not with a drone though, as you cannot control them) |

You shouldn't see Facilities, just cargo. |
