When you start the game, you have a base of '0' planets scanned for scanning purposes.
My suggestion is that for every 4 levels the base goes down 1 point as follows:

If I have 1 planet scanned at level 4, I am treated like having '0' scanned.
If I have 2 planets scanned at level 4, I am treated like having '1' scanned.

If I have 1-2 planets scanned at level 8, I am treated like having '0' scanned.
If I have 3 planets scanned at level 8, I am treated like having '1' scanned.

ETC.

This method would prevent what Khaos and others near the top are experiencing which is a 0% chance to scan due to the fact that they have so many planets in their government.

Foreseeable problems: Said high level players would be able to scan a ton more thus increasing the risk of them taking your planets.

Remember though that currently the game has no good mechanic for combating this problem.

Daniels idea seems a bit more sound. no offense bubba, just your idea is a wee bit more odd and way less unlikly to happen b/c most players go on a scanning spree but can only colonize one planet per 4 lvls.

I agree with Daniel, regardless of who came up with the idea originally.

although the technicalities of raising scan and cloak will be beneficial when npc fighting and hacking, why not jsut make it so that colonized planets arnt counted in your scan database as planets scanned. that way you can essentially purge your entire database of planets and rescan up to whatever point you want. and players who colonize so many planets that they cant erase enough from their database wont have a problem anymore.

obviously, i agree with not counting colonized planets as scanned planets. +1!
