How do I determine which module still needs to be scanned?
Can someone explain the colour coding?
I find them too subtle.
And sometimes a green-coloured module would change after a fly-by, and sometimes it wouldn't.

Re: scanning stations - which module next
I can't remember which color corresponds to which type of module, but they're colored the same as when you build a station.
Re: scanning stations - which module next
Would you know how to determine which modules have been scanned and which haven't?

Go to your map, make sure the "Object list" thing is selected (top left) as opposed to only your own property etc.
Click on the station you are scanning and expand it, there should be sub-categories for each type of module (storage, production, habitat, etc.)
The modules you have not yet scanned show up as "???" within these categories. Clicking on one will highlight it on the station image in the map interface (you need to zoom way in to see it in enough detail).

Re: scanning stations - which module next
ahh nice, thank you.
the overall game's pretty good - albeit a bit too "loose" in regards to tutorials.
but when you think they've missed something, you find that they actually haven't.
It's just that what you think they've missed exists in one UI/game-mechanic or another - when you really think about it.
it only requires the player to think one step over.
current games, which hand-holds us to EVERYTHING, may have spoilt us.
E.g. we expected waypoints for the "deliver foodstuffs" mission which clearly states "deliver foods to our stations in X", when it's actually obvious (in hindsight) that we need to deliver the items to stations that require/ask for the foodstuffs.

Re: scanning stations - which module next
I tend to focus my scans on production (and some habitat and storage modules) since those are the highly valuable ones (worth 1,10,20 millions). What's missing from the game is an indication that a we do not "have" a particular structure.

Re: scanning stations - which module next
Whilst it doesn't help with this point in the context of the HUD UI, I have added a section on "Station Module Blueprints to" the X4 Manual's "Station Building and Management" page. This indicates how a player can see what BPs they have and what BPs they may be missing.
