scanning is done at less than 4km range.

Unfreindly stations can be hacked using a hack mission from a pirate base.

If it's part of the story then you probably just have to get very, very close and it'll scan automatically with no scanner needed.

If you are scanning a pirate Nova as part of a Terran mission, dont. The mission verbal briefing is deceptive. You need to scan the station it goes to, not the ship. And the station is scanned by touching its paint.
