Can somebody explain me, why i dont see the ship details from a strange vessel? If I click to the shipdetails, i get always the message "our scanners can make no sense of the strange vessel"

You first have to make contact with the empire it belongs to (via a society-project) before you can take a look at their specs.
However, if the strange vessel turns out to be a space creature (amoeba, void cloud, etc., including the generic pirates), you don't get the option to scan them at all.
Possibly because the scanners can't make sense of it?
Ships belonging to non-standard entities (Empires) are unscannable. It adds a bit of mystery to some of the strange creatures and vessels you encounter.
You can not see the Layout of a ship, before you Contacted the owners. And for many event/special ships/special empires, you can never see the layout.
Note that there is still a layout wich can be read out of the gamefiles. Indeed that is where we get most of the Wiki-data on the ship layouts.
