As long as you're not mixing cinematic and vector movement in the one
game 
I wouldn't worry (even if you were I probably wouldn't worry). The extra

arcs are important to the owning ships even in vector... I've seen the
KV 
(and other 1-arc obcessed races) a hair out of arc quite a number of
times, 
but out of arc is out of arc whether it's by 2 degrees or 180! Besides 
first up I'd say IF the guys buying extra arcs are disadvantaged then
its 
less than the 'granularity' of FT is concerned with anyway. Secondly
having 
the extra arcs means you can also cope with more counter-tactics (less 
chance flank attacks will catch you wrong footed for instance). I
wouldn't 
sweat it Tom it all comes out in the wash.

Cheers

Beth
