The problem is that scanners might go inactive if they get bored of a round. If they are atleast able to build 1 decent attack fleet they might find the round more interesting, and more likely be active during the whole round.And by giving scanners more fun during a round, you migth easier convince allym8's to go scanner. Even though getting scanners for big alliances might not be a problem atm, there's still many alliances suffering from not being able to get enough scanners.
