No and no.
You need to buy blueprints for both the modules and the ships.
Modules yes. I managed to get the blueprints of the M class ship. Finding an abandoned ship (neutral faction), going out in a spacesuit and detonating an EMP bomb. Received 4 leaks. After scanning 1 received the ship's blueprints.

That's awesome work!

I'm going to wait another week or so, to see how everything pans out, and then update the guide again. It's been a while since I created it, though not much changed until 2.0 came out. I appreciate little bits of info like this!

I was thinking about trying the same when I'm far enough in the game to build a wharf. Nice to hear that it works. What about going on board a friendly ship and then doing the same?

With friendly ships it does not work. I could not get the ship's blueprint, only the data was decoded from 4 data leaks. No blueprint.

Updated again, not much changed with CoH/v4.0.... stations are not getting angry even though after the second EMP they have strong words for you, which I imagine won't stay that way forever. Also, it's much more common to get the BP on your first EMP, along with a trade sub on the 4th data leak spawned. The next set of data leaks on a different module of the same station can give you the trade partner added relatively often.

Beta 6 issues go to the beta 6 board - preferably after a quick search if someone already reported it.

I don't think TEL stations have scrap processors. RIP stations do. Maybe TEL do, and I've just never seen one.

I've been playing a Vanilla game during this 6.0 beta, and I've had no issues with scanning EMP created leaks unless the leaks spawned inside the structure where I couldn't reach them, which is a known issue. But I've emp scanned at least 10 stations without issues.

If you are playing a vanilla game, and if the leaks are disappearing after you scan one leak successfully, that might be a beta bug. Id check the beta feedback forum and see if anyone else has already reported a similar issue, and if not, then you should report it with a save uploaded.
