270 degrees and I agree. (75% of 360 = 270).
And the only reason I'm keeping the old arcs
here is that there is no later rule to decide
what that 270 degrees converts into. Is there
a GZG ruling on this, say a convention ruling?

GZG really should elaborate since it's a sort
of gaping hole in the rules. They left MT 
missiles in the ship building rules so they
must mean us to use them. Why not disambiguate
the rules and tell us what their cinematic
movement and acquisition arcs convert into for
Fleet Book 1?
