Getting a bit off subject arent we?
oh well, here goes my belated response...

It isnt 1 less target, def whores and scanners have to have asteroids just like the rest of us so that they can build those ships, or do those scans. Of course I am talking about the scanners out of any alliance tag, and the ones intag is a different point and those are the ones that, because the alliance pays for the scans, they can play relatively normally, I have seen quite a few scanners finish decently throughout the rounds. Thus, clearly implying that they are in fact attacking and defending.
As for cov op planets, they are a different story completely, though, because of the growing difficulty of successfully covert opping a planet to the ground, they are becoming a bit of a dying race.
One last point on this, def whores also generally specialize in just 1 ship type, last round I found several cathaar specializing in only Scorpions, or only Scarabs, and many of them had a decent amount of roids, their inability to stop my attacking fleets made them easy targets for my fighters.

If we reach the point where every player can get the scan he needs (through ally or #transcendancy) what is the point of having scans the way it is ?

To be honest, I havent had a round where I couldnt get the scans I needed since round 5, though at that point I really couldnt have cared less. The only exception being when, at the beginning of the round, no one can really see which ships a xandathrii opponent has.
...Im pretty sure I missed a point or two that I was intending to address, but I have just run out of steam and am very tired.
