Having fought at least 1 18,000 BPV battle in SFB (hoo boy what a 
battle), I think the other rules got in the way as you say. But I'm 
not sure that fire during movement is a bad idea. Frankly, having an 
inability to do this is a rather annoying limitation. It would slow 
the game somewhat, but it does elimintate some rather glaringly 
unlikely maneovres. Just how long do we think it takes modern weapons 
to inflict damage? If we assume that fire represents a miniscule 
portion of the time in a turn, then you don't have to be in-arc, 
in-range for long to engage. But the inability to fire during 
movement seems to preclude this in certain situations. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suffering munchkinism. But I find the 
move-fire system simpler, but NOT more elegant because of the 
tactical constraints it forces upon you.
