Re: Long Range Scanners
Another use I was just reminded of it the ability of these scanners to see what space based shipyard are building and the time to completion.
Assuming you have some knowlege of ship types and build times, this information can be used to help plan attacks. Capture ships can choose a sector with the turns remaining at two, while saving sectors with turns remaining of 6 till later. You can see if a remote mining base is being built, or warships for the mill.
While not close to the top of the research tree, they can be useful, and I would not put them at the bottom.
