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.

If you can see the ship, (and are in range) then the LRS will work on them.

Unless they have Scattering Armor or a Scanner Jammer.

When you do scan a ship, remember to take notes on what you see. The scanned design will NOT automatically appear in the Enemy Ships list; you have to actually engage in combat for that.

Wasn't that fixed in 1.91?

You know, I believe that there was a blurb in the 1.91 history.txt that said it was, but I never tested it.

I am fairly certain that Canpq's post is still accurate in 1.91...
