Default Nebulae, visibility, and skulking...

I have a very old set of SE4 notes, dated April 2001, in which Atrocities is quoted as saying...

Quote:

The cyan and violett nebulaes also obscure to level 3, so unless you don't have a level 4 sensor (below that you won't see anything in nebulaes) you can't detect things in violett, cyan and orange nebulaes. Even with level 4 sensor you will be blind like a mole in red and green nebulaes.
Summary:

Obscuration to level 3 (need level 4 sensor):
violett, cyan and orange nebulaes

Obscuration to level 4 (obscures everything):
green

Obscuration to level 5 (obscures everything):
red

Now, I am very fond of playing with Ancient type galaxies, so I deal with nebulae quite a bit.

And I have found that, contrary to the above, I seem to be able to see enemy ships and planets in all nebulae sectors once I have Hyper Optics III.

This is with SE4 Classic, patch Version 1.49

Would anybody care to comment on this?
