F9 window blank sometimes when scanning player ships?

[ioha]

Every once in a while, when another player's ship enters into my scanner, I will select the ship and press F9 so I can see who they are, and what faction they are with, etc... but nothing appears in the window! I mean, it will show me that they are neutral, or hostile, but that's it. What's going on with that? Other times, I might even say most of the time, when I do all of this, it will show me all kinds of valuable information. But then these other times just suck for me, because I don't like not knowing who's coming at me!

I have the Discovery Scanner, if that matters any. Thanks!

Even if you have the Discovery Scanner, there is a limit in distance. When they're up close (less than 4k), it should work.

Also, there is a bug that sometimes does not let you switch to wireframe view of the ship, it just shows a blank box where the ship and hardpoints should be.

Not a bug. The wireframe thingie is the hitbox for the ship, if I recall correctly (or something similar...) some Disco ships have it (check Gallia ships for example), others do not. Probably depends on something during the development of the ship / putting it in the mod.
Further information can be gained from the development masterminds, I guess (as I'm not very sure about this).
