simple as that
Being pedantic its not actually a bug.

The gal fund one was a bug because something unintended happened with the limit being circumvented.

This however is not a bug, due to the fact that scanning gives score. Just because they scanned repeatingly doesnt make it a bug. There are rounds gone by where using a certain ship type was much better than anything else - was that a bug? No, it was a flaw with the game balance.

While I applaud game balance being addressed, you can't really say this was a bug imo. An imbalance that is now corrected.

I do agree with the score being removed from the people who were canny enough to find this. But I also feel they should be refunded the resources.
