Its easy, rename the current Battleship Scanner 'Long Range Scanner' and drop in a better scanner for cruisers and battleships. One like the old one with 25k range and about 10k cargo range, that only they could use. Either way people will lose out by a split or a compat plugin. This way caps wouldn't lose anything but a name and could still have an even better one for a cap specific moneysink. Just let them swap for free during the switch.
I have to drop my money sink scanner from 4 non cruiser/battleships that I use often, or those with capitals have to keep the Longe Range Scanner /buy a separate battleship scanner. There's got to be something better than total restriction of the current BS scanner.
I think the best answer (other than doing nothing) is to change the name of the scanner, and not have dedicated capital ship named scanners. It would simply follow that of course capitals will use Long Range Scanners in order to achieve optimal performance. I have been documenting every time I run into a GB or transport with a BS scanner and I know its about as much as those using them on capitals.

And the 1 Billion creds worth of useless BS scanners I'll have as of the 3rd is not just as bad? Guess how I got the money to 'throw around'? I traded. If you don't have that time then enjoy the game without bringing down those that do. My credits are already earned and spent, do I get them back?
