are fighters with spyglass/battleship scanners OORP?

They were originally more effective BS scanners. I never heard of it changing from that. It's from a time when weapon classes were Vanilla and pretty much everything can be equipped on anything. Back then we exercised self control on what to put on our ships based on their lore. It was discovered that people lack self control and min/max'd their ships first and whipped up RP based on it after. Scripting was made to make hardpoints restricting what can be equipped based on a revamped equipment system. The Spyglass scanner is probably an unfixed holdover from those days. It always was very rare and so I'm not surprised of it slipping under the radar.
