I'm not sure if I like 6 firearcs, however, I do like the modified 4 arc
system from B5P:EFSB, as it simplifies the firearcs & it encourages good
broadside armament (in all the games of FT I've played, I've come to the
conclusion that a good broadside is mandatory, esp. on slow ships).
I should argue that I'm in favor of not having weapons in the rear arc,
as it gives me somewhere to hide. :-)
