Long Range scanners.

If another ship is 1 sector away from you, and doesn't have scanner jammers, you can see all of the components on their ship

A sector is the solar system right?

A sector is a small part of a solar system: it corresponds to the space taken by a planet, a sun, the speed of your vessels, and so on. So, to scan a vessel one sector away, your ships must be right next to the target for the scanning to work.

I believe there's facility scanners that have system-wide scanners.

I havn't got the sytem wide ones yet. I am concentrating on weapons and shields to defeat the piundian (Grey cyrstal monsters).

gaining ground, but so slowly. If they other 11 players (All AI) attack I will die. Only 5 of them hate me.

I believe those are a psychic racial tech. Sorry, that doesn't mean they ignore scanner jammers and scattering armor.
