I'm not sure if i agree with this look.  After watching most Scifi
movies
or booksit would seem that  the bigger / mother ships are the ones that
have all the guns pointing all different dirrections... not the smaller.
Seems to me that it make smore sense that the large ships would have
more
space for all the arcs of fire not the smaller ships.

I do agree with the amount of weapons and type od weapons that maybe
mounted / placed on a ship.  As a large number of laser batteries could
drain reactors fairlt quickly...

I would suggest instead of restricting players on what kind of weapons
and
which way they may fire .. give them an insentive to be more realistic
like
a bonus to firing to the front arc or penalty to the port and
starboard...

Or

If weapons are fixed mounted they recieve and extra 4 inches to their
range
due to power being able to flow straight line (less complex) without all
the turrent mechanics.

my $0.02..
