Alternatively, take advantage of the fact that most people buy their ships in round numbers. If you see 19372 Harpies and 9686 Phoenix, it's probably actually 20000 Harpy and 10000 Phoenix, especially if that means other ship numbers also come out to round(ish) numbers.

And finally, you can use the Universe -> Combat Reports page to help fill out the picture.

God, I'm so happy I'm not the only one who did like 10 unit scans to be precise
