That's exactly the point - pirates would see navy guys from long range away and escape, to pirate eslewhere. They wouldn't fall to lawful gank as they do now.
An attempt to take BS scanner away from traders resulted in such big QQ, "because so many people invested cash into that", that it was merely nerfed to 75%. 5kers will use BS scanner even at 1%, because they don't want powercore for guns, they care only to deliver cargo, and what's better friend in that than ultra-long range scanner?
