Still doesn't get away from the fact that its a change to benefit a vast minority, it kills the game for a lot of ppl who invest a lot of time into it by allowing them to be scanned.

Wrong! Mz successfully disted as a Terran last round, only stat flaws let him down. He was a pain to raid as getting j scans on him was a bitch, and deffing against someone you will never I scan and possibly will not be able to get a u or au scan of at short notice means his attacks were de prioritised for defending.

You need an alliance to play this game to any acceptable standard. 70% of alliances will take in a player that shows some iniative and comes on irc and asks to join. Again changing the game for the benefit of a largely half assed, inactive minority is wrong.
