I dont see what benefit this would bring, other then segregating scanners from the rest of the 'actually playing' playerbase

It doesnt give them any edge, it makes them subserviant to the current players in my view

Not necessarily. That would only be true if they couldnt have access to another from a different gal, or from their alliance - and a significant portion of those who get exiled around sign up as this race ( and are active ).
An inactive planet will get exiled around regardless of their race

This final feature would enable a scanner to make the scans needed at a time that is suitable to him/her and leave them available for the appropriate planet etc..

They can already do that using ingame messaging or pm's. Simply message them the links
Its an interesting idea to be sure, but not one i think would work out in the end
