Preempting the inevitable whines, I'm looking forward to seeing how the new changes play out. I like the ETA removal to compensate for the cluster ETA bonus. Something like that was necessary to let people sleep
I also like the scan changes. Going back to partial information setups rather than the deterministic play we had with Military Scans is a step in the right direction.
I don't like the change to stealing. I understand the motivation, but I don't think this provides a fun alternative. I look forward to seeing if anyone can wring quality out of zik with this setup.
The paid/trusted thing is cool as well, good job on getting that in for this round
