Ok you have all looked at planet option to have scans, how about a galaxy/alliance option.

There are currently 4 officer options, make a 5th - the tech officer or give the job to the MOW.

The tech officer/MOW once installed would automatically have his scan tech boosted through a part of the galaxy page that provides scan access, the scans could be paid for from the galaxy fund like alliances do.

Alliances could have their own scan tech within the alliance tools.

The only thing the planet doing the scans would have to do is create amps.

But leave the scan tech tree alone, give anyone the option of using alliance, galaxy or doing it themselves.

This would give even new players better access to scans.
