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?

[Alneyan]

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.

Thanks. Boy do I feel stupid. I confused myself. Ok so I have to move real close to spy on the enemy.

Thanks guys.

Or research higher levels then You can spy on them from a distance, 5 sectors away at most i think.

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.

[NullAshton]

Don't take over half the galaxy, or get too far ahead of the second place person. Then all the AI will hate you till the end of time. They all band together to destroy you.

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

Wait do long range scanners work with cloaks? when they are engaged? and can you spy on a cloak ship if you detect them
