Scanning other ships cargo?

[Will2brown]

Tell me if this has been suggested before but I did not find it when I searched so I'm gonna post.

Right now pirates struggle to find enemy ships, let alone find good ones so my suggestion is that we could get a scanner effect or separate block entirely that scans the enemy ships cargo and gives you a rough value in credits.

I ask for this because right now all we do I salvage the ship and quite often it is severely damaged in the fight so the ship is of little value, with this scanner we would be able to pick a target with a large amount of cargo and threaten to blow them up unless they hand over the cargo, instead of having a shoot out for no reason ( which is fine by me but probably not for poorer players).

Thanks

Not to steal your thunder and such but I made a similar post over here: http://starmadedock.net/threads/suggestion-scanners-no-not-those-ones.4975/ I think you should read that and see what you think. :P I do agree with scanning ships for cargo, so I will give this a "Yay".
