The point being that it is quite easy to make sure you have your
target in F arc. Granted, if you're a ig ship shooting at lots of
small targets, you may need to cover multiple arcs.

All F arc ships should have aproximately 50% firepower than 3 arc ships.
 
That could be a decisive advantage in a flyby attrition pass.  However,
if 
you don't get your target into F arc and your target keeps you in his 3
arc 
then your are hosed.

So?  If you're in my F arc 6/6 of the time, and I'm in your F arc 1/6
of the time, shouldn't you do less damage?

Depends on how long weapons fire.  If weapons take a long time to charge
up 
then fire a few pulses then the 1/6 time may not matter.  If fire is 
continous then your point makes sense.
