Better yet, hide the ARS possibles until you hack the system.
Why? Currently you need to get a Science Lab into the system, which means having done a certain level of clearing to get even a cloaked Mk II there. This means you have to apply a little effort to it, but not a large effort or anything with a permanent cost.
If you make it necessary to do something more than that, like perform a hack, we run into the original problem: Most people will save scum - do whatever the requirement is, then revert back.
Fixing that is why the labs were given the ability to see what the possible unlocks were before deciding to hack or not.
