Why not allow the ships to fire at the same time?, as long as the target
is
within the range of  the firing ships. This would have advantages if you
do
not use simutaneous firing, but would also, if firing most or all of
your
weapons, leave you vulnerable to any counter fire from other ships and
unable to respond. You would have to balance the advantages of being
able to
overwhelm or destroy a target with all the ships firing simutaneously,
against the disadvantages of leaving your ship(s) vulneable to other
ship(s). After all, there would be no advantage, that I can see with
most
weapons, to having all ships firing as if from a closer point, because
there
is no separate role to hit (excepting p.torps)

Just a rough idea.
