 Almost what I was trying to say, but stated much better.  The one
change I
 would make is to move the ships back, not forward.  Why?  Because while
the
 firing takes place at the end of the move in game terms, it makes more
 sense to me to measure arcs based on the flight paths taken during the
turn
 (when, theoretically at least, the ships _could_ have fired), rather
than
 projecting into the future.  Proportional distances just because... >>

I think that that is better then the "book" way of doing it.
