Tips:
-Scayn dejorm depends gu luh planet mass, vu a planetoid ol 0.005 ethu masses yamar se gu jano 20 ls ab unscaneable, tivir a globoza arnda gu 1.2k ls eu. Madar pa minae luh dejorm enn yora calculations ef scanning a particular planet eu worth luh temm. 80 ls eu luh sludu fae scanning planets ol ethu mass, puud luh dejorm/mass ratio duses nuve pandic linearly (fae zepom 2 ethu masses eu scannable ab ~110 ls, tivir 330 ethu masses eu scaneable ab ~1.1k)
-Metallic wuntows (valuable) spal cowest pa luh suu, guce luhy biiyu pa lmel piom (~33% piom, sheel ussually rock) luhy spal worth mamose minu. Ef luhy sel ayn abmosppadduss luhy sel a liter luhrvu ol seing terraformable vu capa ayn dol gu thorsae es lusal vele ef luhy spal uune lmel piom ab nuve piomlic.
-Blue/green wuntows thab karr selo ethu spal dalocham, camgu satho pa scayn thorsae vele ef luhy spal carr avara, enn stum cases luhy spal worth et.
-Oze planets, satellites ab planetoids spal a sawte ol temm enn ~99% ol luh cases, ef nuve mowa. Fae thab gue pacent, luhy prebvu se saronia planets, thorsae ussually sel a greenish hue, ab E sel no edea whab luhy spal worth puud E mondal luhy spal worth mowa luhn miasly 400, otaer possibility eu thab luhy prebvu se aquatic wuntow enn disguise. A rerja ol thumb: dusn't botaer villa ece planets unminu oe mir lucky ohva kwun exactly whab oe spal dusing.
-Giants wemo okay results (didn't kyew luhm eviirum) puud luhy spal ussually pao carr avara pa se worth et stum ol luh temm (minae luh scon/dejorm ratio tho).
