ok, so you need Cloaking to have the option of hacking someone, and you need Scanning to increase your chances of a successful hack. Does scanning also increase your chances of a successful crit hack?(couldn't find out on the wiki) And is there any way to get better planets from a crit hack, or is it random?

Random and random.
Crit hacks are random results when your Scan+Cloak vs their Scan+Cloak are fed through Dan's secret formula. Planets gleaned from crit hacks are also completely random. It could be their best, their worst or anything in between.

The crit-hack formula probably has a high degree of randomness.
From experience, I'm about as likely te get reverse crit-hacked on a massively debuffed opponent as I am te steal one o' their planets.

Scan and cloak are directly coralated when you pvp, both attack and hack.
If you scan is higher than there cloak then you have a greater chance to crit while attacking. Im still checking into if crit will go over damage cap. The more mods on their ship that you can see the more often you will crit.
Scan also affects how much rp you can take from someone when hacking. The more mods on their ship that you can see the more rp you can plunder. HOWEVER, from my own personal records it appears that the max rp you can take from someone is 5% of what they have stored.
I dont have anything for crit hacks yet because ive only gottn them 3 times. Suffice to say, find a D&D nerd, ask them to rol %dice, if it comes up 100 then you get a crit.
