Now there has been a discussion about wether scanners should be completely removed.
The fact that so many allies has been caught setting up scan bots, like BF, makes you wonder if the correct direction is to have dedicated planets as scanners?
At a minimum, to follow up on the current suggestion, one SHOULD be able to request scans ingal, the same way you request scans in allie, using the galaxy fund to pay for the scans.
There is not much extra coding time needed to add this feature, and it would be a good reason to not automaticly exile scanners for "top gals".
A scanner does bring much less to some gals than planets adding score.
