Would the ship's scanner not show the make/model of the craft being scanned?

Yes, it would. All ships have a transponder code which is constantly broadcast. This provides all pertinent information on the ship, including name, make, model, serial/ship identification number, owner, and the like.

oooh, I see one of my Player's characters has made it into this supplement on Page 14 =D
(Very fitting as I might add since he's an Explorer / Artifact Hunter) xD
