What a good idea, but I'd like it to be only the Fleet at the same eta (i.e 1) and it does need an idea of the number of ships and the race. So something like

Out-The-Window Scan on x:y:z
Defence Fleet Ter looks like less than 100 ships
Defence Fleet Cat looks like less than 1000 ships
Defence Fleet Xan looks like some ships
Attack Fleet Zik looks like more than 100000 ships

This gives them a chance to gauge the odds of a successful landing without giving away to much. I think there should be a cap on the maximim number of ships that you can guess at out the window though, stops it being a useful scan later on. But anything that gives an indepenant player a chance is good.
