endless-sky/endless-sky#8172 added new attributes for additional scanner options which are not present in https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/wiki/CreatingOutfits

Based on https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/pull/8172/files#diff-56e4e01e645809bdc9d47244f3b50afd8655d1dbc1436ebfdcd49abb69574635 the added attributes are:

Attribute Description
strategic scan power: Strategic scanners allow you to view your current target's distance from you, maximum gun range, maximum turret range, current speed, maximum acceleration, and turning speed when it is within range. The range is proportional to the square root of this value.
acceleration scan power: Mobility scanners allow you to view your current target's current maximum acceleration when it is within range. The range is proportional to the square root of this value.
crew scan power: Crew scanners allow you to view your current target's crew complement when it is within range. The range is proportional to the square root of this value.
energy scan power: Energy scanners allow you to view your current target's energy levels when it is within range. The range is proportional to the square root of this value.
fuel scan power: Fuel scanners allow you to view your current target's fuel levels when it is within range. The range is proportional to the square root of this value.
maneuver scan power: Maneuver scanners allow you to view your current target's current maximum turn speed when it is within range. The range is proportional to the square root of this value.
mobility scan power: Mobility scanners allow you to view your current target's current speed and maximum acceleration when it is within range. The range is proportional to the square root of this value.
range finder power: Range finders allow you to view the distance from the center of your ship to the center of your current target. There is no range limit.
thermal scan power: Thermal scanners allow you to view your current target's thermal level when it is within range. The range is proportional to the square root of this value.
velocity scan power: Mobility scanners allow you to view your current target's current speed when it is within range. The range is proportional to the square root of this value.
weapon scan power: Weapon scanners allow you to view your current target's weapons' maximum range when it is within scanner range. Specifically, it shows the longest range of all weapons in a gun hardpoint; and the longest range of all weapons in a turret hardpoint. These ranges include the weapon offset and thus show the maximum range from the center of the ship its shots can reach. The scanner range is proportional to the square root of this value.

These attributes should be added to the wiki with descriptions of how to use them in plugins and/or future content.
