If scanning ranges are so short, how do space battles as described in the codex take place?

Mass accelerators are too big for frigates? We have mass accelerators in small arms form. If frigates didn't have mass accelerators then not only would it make no sense (fighters appear to have them) but it would make several codex entries very weird.
