I dislike dedicated scanners too. However, I love the notion of being able to become immune to scans.
I am in favour of removing the need to research basic scans, to allow people without access to dedicated scanners to play the game. Planet, unit (including cloaked ships, 20% inaccurate) and jgp (against planets your fleet is eta 4 or lower on) should be very easy to get, possibly right at round start. Give everyone 10 amps to start with. But building dists to become immune to scans should be a viable strategy. Not that is a viable strategy now, but burning all of our bridges seems unnecessary.
