Re: [FT] Quick Q: Class 2 arcs

such ships in tournaments or competitive games; within your own group,
feel free to do as you like!  :-)

Well, Nerts! So much for that. I _will_ probably use it as a house rule,
but for "public" designs I'll have to go for 4 cross-broadside Class 2's
(2xF/FP/AP and 2xF/FS/PS) 3 class 2's;	2x360's and 1 FH.
Game balance-wise, I think its a total wash, but I liked the extra
coverage on the flanks and less power right up front.

FWIW, the only additional way I can see the system 'abused' in a similar
manner is by trying to buy down class 1's to 5 arcs so you can have 6 FX
class 1's for the price of 5. That, however, also balances if you've got
missile or, especially, fighter attacks which  could easily position
themselves where you have no 'modified' class 1 coverage.

Thanks for the feedback, all.
