Planet operational details are now private to their owner. Other pilots can no longer inspect exact colonist counts, stored resources, fighter garrisons, cannon percentages, production, or citadel construction progress through planet APIs.

Pilots in the same sector still see a planet’s identity, class, current citadel level, and an ARMED warning when its sector cannon can fire on ships entering the sector. Exact cannon strength remains hidden.

Remote sector snapshots and direct planet-ID reads are now restricted so they cannot replace the scanner and probe systems with free galaxy-wide intelligence.
