That method hurt gameplay for the rest of us, why would we look upon this as anything less than a malicious assault on the server?

Completely incorrect.
It is a well known fact that scans give score. It has been one of the most advertised features of this new style of PA for the past few rounds. Same as co-oping.
We calced that scans gave more score than ships. So obviously we would use our own research to most efficiently spend our resources.
Just because Spinner only had the forethought for a scanner doing *only* useful scans for his alliance, is not our problem. Its been in the game for about 3 rounds now ? Ending it 2 days before round end, is an unacceptable way to treat the players.
This is not some bug where we do some fancy trickery to achieve something, we are doing standard, in the way they are meant to be.
Our galaxy had 28k roids when the rest of the universe only had 20k, we could have chosen to conitinue to keep that lead, and well let's face it, we could have chosen to accelerate our lead. Instead we stopped, we pulled back, because we had the resources to win with the current game.
Now if a week ago, there had of been a change we would have been able to compensate, by resurrecting our attacks, and resuming our domination of the universe.
Instead, the game has been twisted, to disable us.
2 days to go in a round, is *NOT* how you go about keeping a game balanced.
If you wish to do something as drastic as this. You remove every scrap of score that every single planet in the universe has *ever* receieved from scans.

I think we should all count ourselves lucky that you have as little as possible to do with this game mate. It would already be dead otherwise.
Cordially,
