Have to disagree - with all 4 categories, actually. 
Weapons: Take a Maria Von Borgund with the main threat coming from Port.
As
the MVB, if I haven't fired yet, I'll want to check all my Starboard
facing,and possibly forward facing 3-arc Class 3's _and_ torps before
the
port class 3's, and the attacker will want the opposite.
Fire Control: Take a game without fighters/missiles. I'd gladly roll my
ADFCs before my regular firecons, but the attacker would want he
opposite. 
Drives: Take the first blows of a long game, I'd want to thresh FTL
before
the Main Drive, the attacker the opposite. 
"Electronics:" - that's a non system in most games, since sensors/ECM
are
far from uniformly applied or played with.
