I put some thoughts in scans and see the following options:

The main issue in scanning is what info you give about a planet and his fleets.

There's a lot of different levels and types of information:

- total amount of ships
- ships a planet can build (factories he owns) + race of the planet
- classes of ships incomming / per fleet
- number of ships incomming / per fleet
- number of ships per class (total/incomming/per fleet)
- numbers can include and/or exclude cloaked ships
- fleet per shiptype (total/incomming/per fleet)
- news scans (including battlereports)
and probably more

This can be made available at different distances (for incomming fleets and/or for planets you are heading to) from a planet, when a fleet is launched at the scanned planet etc. And it can be made available differently to different planets (allies, hostiles, defenders, galmates etc.)

I don't like exact information as this makes battles too predictable. Numbers of ships per class is more then enough information, which should not be made available in all cases/to everybody. I'd like it if scan distances could vary for different races. Ofc xan should be hardest to gain good information on.
