Chance of scan success = 30% * (scanner's amps/scanner's roids - target's blockers/target's roids)

That's the formula from the manual, but it is incomplete, there is also an additional part that reduces the success further for the more expensive scans.

Probably changing the base success rate:

ie:
30% for sectors
25 for unit/pds
20 for newsies
15 for mil

Ofcourse, I have no idea if these numbers are correct, but it must be something along those lines.

I have been told that this is the formula the game uses.

I have no reason to doubt it.

That's always been the documented formula (more or less); but once, several rounds ago during a CH, Spinner said that scan type influenced the probability of it being blocked (something along the lines that Andy_r posted).

It's certainly possible that they have since changed it, or maybe Spinner was wrong.
