two questions: one on AIC and the other on scanner-blocking nebulas

[Yimboli]

Hello!

AIC Question - my starliners, colonizers, and transports get a max of about 2-4 movement. What is to stop me from just using destroyers with full movement? If nothing, then what is the point of giving the transports and colonizers just a QN handicap?

Nebulas/Storms that block scanners - what level of scanner do you need to see in nebulas and storms that say "This storm is opaque to most scanners"? Is it feasible to put a single satellite somewhere in the system with a X level scanner to see inside it? Also, if my ship enters a sector that also has an enemy ship, will my ships see it and engage?

These should be easy questions

Thanks
-Tim
