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

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

Hi Yimboli
Yes Temporal and the generic Scanners work great in the Nebulas and small storms. Also keep in mind that the AIC warp points and small storms are also great places for the enemy to hide on the Human Player but this is not true with the AI because the AI Players can spot you eventually I know its not at the start of the game but they should see your scouts hidding in the small storms in a few hundred turns or so.

I noticed they answered your AIC star liner questions in the long run SLs are way cheaper then Medium Transports.
