	Yeah, that's what I would pick as well. I would put two of the
four
two-arc bats on the port side, facing port and forward and the other two
facing starboard and forward. That way all four could fire directly
ahead
and I could fire two at any body on either side, sacrificing forward
fire to
do it obviously. I would however be scared of the six one arc guy; I
know
the players in my group would leap at that option instantly (they love
massive single-arc forward firepower on fast, maneuverable ships).
