I wouldn't bother - its often harder to get yourself pointing exactly
where 
you want in vector (despite how it may seem and especially if you have a

good opponent). It also massively curtails your own options come fire 
time... stuck facing port when your last portside enemy has just blown
or 
when the scarier (more important target) is to the starboard. If 1-arc 
weapons were a dead sure vector thing then more designs would have them
as 
the sole feature and in my experience you just don't see that - then
again 
maybe Oerjan's database will prove me wrong.

Cheers

Beth
