[FT] Firing Arcs

Subject: [FT] Firing Arcs

I've just finished my first game testing Islamic Federation ships in the
heat of combat. Several items showed signs of my trademark Delayed
Action
Intelligence ("that was stupid, why did I do that?").  One thing that
DID
work (and is not listed on the web page--remember, you saw it here
first!)
was Off Center Firing Arcs.  Instead of FP/F/FS arcs, I put them down as
AP/FP/F.  I can choose my heading and then roll if necessary to keep my
target in a covered arc.  I effectively have 300 degree coverage instead
of
180 --therefore I have a lot more freedom to maneuver while still
getting my
shots in.  I am attributing this innovation to Alarishi architects.
Comments?
