I don't see how dists on an attacker's home planet can affect inc scans when the attacking fleet is half way between his planet and mine anyways

It's come to my attention that the inc scan working at eta4 with insufficient amps would render xan much less useful. It would also render faking in general all but useless in most cases, such as terrans sending harpy/lynx or harpy/minotaur/1lynx. This would only have a chance at working out decently in the attacker's favor if they sent a real attack fleet faked as something else such as ter fr faked as cr.
Apparently I hadn't thought that bit through entirely.
[edit]I'm removing that bit from my original post since it isn't very logical, since most people will read the original post but not this reply, but I'll leave it quoted here.[/edit]
