Hi,
I got two of these cards with my rebel aces and not sure how you would use them. What is there purpose? How can they be used?
Thanks,

How to use Enhanced Scopes?
The purpose of Enhanced Scopes is to move first and shoot first. It allows High PS ships to move before lower PS ships. This makes it harder to block their movement, and dny them their action.
I have not seen it played a lot, but have contemplated a build of 3 named B-Wings all with this upgrade.
Enhanced Scopes allows you to:
- Plan your maneuver in full confidence that you will not be blocked
- Modify the order in which your ships activate: useful for certain upgrades
- Choose the order in which your ships with the upgrade activate.
- Let your ships activate before your opponents, useful with certain pilot abilities (like Kagi), or for use in blocking or ramming to keep the target in your arc.
It's generally considered inferior to Advanced Sensors, though.
1-point upgrades are typically the corner-cases in this game, and this certainly qualifies. You really have to want its effects to even experiment with it, and I feel it's quite underutilized.
Combining Enhanced Scopes with Anti-Pursuit Lasers might work.

On a Shuttle, you don't have the mobility for APL.
On an Aggressor, you're giving up Autothrusters.
I actually like it on IG-88C fleets, as boost is better the earlier in activation you go, excepting when you have the ability to fire outside of your primary firing arc.

In other words: We lack the ship to put those two upgrades on.

Here's a 4-page long post on this very topic from just a few days ago:
@Slugrage, thanks. Don't know how i missed that topic. Will do proper searches before posting new topics 
I personally use enhanced scopes with the TIE Phantom. Being able to decloak and move at the same time before anybody else is able to move to block for 1 squad point makes it very difficult to lose your action due to people using barrel rolls or boost to try to interdict you. It also mitigates a major Phantom penalty when using high PS pilots or VI.
