None that I'm aware of, and I've been using ships like that for the
better 
part of ten years now (ever since I got MT). Doesn't necessarily mean
that 
there aren't any, but considering some of my opponents over the years it

doesn't seem too likely :-/

FWIW I've never found it necessary to artificially limit longer-ranged 
weapons to a single arc on Advanced-drive ships; when you're able to
make 
4-pt turns or more you don't really need wide arcs anyway.
