Re: {FT} Off center firing arcs was Re: [FT-AAR] NAC/NI

<< Then we roll our ships to bring the batteries to bear.  The only
problem I
 see with the off center arc is when you expect to plunge in and have
targets
 all round, but you have the same problem with FS/F/FP as you would with
 AP/FP/F--actually more, because if all your batteries face forward then
he
 knows he's safe in your aft arcs.  With an Alarishi ship, I can always
roll,
 so only my A arc is uncovered.  And I usually use small ships with only
one
 or two firecons anyway.  This design wouldn't work as well for, say,
the NSL
 because it presumes you have at least two thruster points
available--one to
 roll, one to change facing--but we don't buy Swabby ships. >>
I think this is the same as the Avalon class of BDNs
