Funny this because despite the technology involved, myself and the
people I game with
normally never pre-measure anything ever. We leave it all to guess work.

Means we sort of end up using sci-fi battleships like Spanish galleons
:)

Mind you thinking about it you could always make it a game issue. How
about
fire controls are the same as DSII where you buy Basic/Enhanced/Superior

Basic lets you pre-measure one target, Enhanced 2 targets, Superior 3
targets.

Or to keep it even more simple how about sacrificing a fire control to
allow pre-measuring.

I have an fire arc template which I printed onto a tranparent film. When
any ship wants to fire
it can be rested on top of the model to see exactly who's in what fire
arc. I've never had a 
problem over fire arcs.
