...Now this is an interesting point. Rolling is only of use if you
didn't
pay for that extra arc (How many FT players are there who don't buy all
3!)

I suggest the following.. 

1- Ships only have a limited number of hardpoints available for battery 
  fire.
2- Ships can only mount certain amount of batteries that can fire
through
all 3 arcs (based on ship class)

     Mass		 No. of hardpoints
     1-5			 1
     6-13			 2
    14-27			 3
    28-49			 4
    50-80			 5
    81-100			 6

     Class of ship	       qty of hardpoints that have 3 arc
coverage
	cruiser 			      100%
	escort				       90%
	capitol 			       50%
		       (round up)

These are based from the vanilla fleet so could be totally modified by
'The
Fleet Book' (when it comes out Jon ;-) )
