Why can we scan other players' ships but not our own?

Well, ship scanning is meant to be detecting what's outside of your ship, right? It's an exploration of the world around you. So that's kind of inherent in the nature of it. If I understand the question correctly, it's like, I want to be able to detect stuff on my ship. That's going to be handled by FPS scanning, which is one of the features that we're working on moving over from Squadron to SC right now.
