Staz' solution is exactly right. QJ5 ships are what I used for 'pinging' worlds. If I'm attacking, I usually have a group of chaff not far off. Also, if you're opponent is good, you're usually going to have a significantly hard time getting a good scan on inner worlds. And you do those w/ expensive cloaked pen-scanning galleons that you, bought from a friendly neighbor. Sending uncloaked ships into the center of hostile space for intel is a pretty difficult thing unless you've been doing so steadily. Also, by the time you're really flooding all space w/ scouts, the DLL7s are cheap enough. For what it's worth, I didn't have any mineral problems in this game. I had some GERM problems in the early-midgame due to not having the g-box checked, however.

This faded rapidly once the first strip mining fleets were built and gated to red-worlds adjacent to major clusters. At any given time I was usually strip mining 3-5 high-concentration red worlds. That and spoils from assaults came in very handy. Minerals come from the periphery of one's empire and are very rapidly gated back into core worlds for warship-building.
