About selection range. Numbers that you see on scanner are calculated from your ship farthest point range (not always in same direction as other ship) to other ship's farthest point range. For example, if LiDread has N meters from model's center as maximum point range, and Turtle has M meters, displayed range will be calculated as actual_range-N-M. So when Turtle is in 11K, it will be 9K (approximately, I don't remember actual range) displayed on the scanner.
