Scanners also get precious little reward for a lot of effort.

What I think would be good would be to have some extra cov op researches that you can only use once you've got to the end of the scan and cov op tech trees. Some ideas would be:

- bring back hotwire cov op to steal ships
- EMP storm to temporarily make dists useless / less effective
- a disrupt ETA cov op to knock back live fleets by ETA 1 and cause chaos with teamups or give you time to get defence

My view is putting them this far down the tech tree would make them impractical to abuse, but give scanners/cov oppers the opportunity to have more impact.

I definitely don’t like the idea of a cov op effecting dist. Considering dist have already been nerfed that they’re almost a inviable Strat now. At least scanning helps your alliance for whole round.
