Errr...I thought the Heavy Cruiser that got hit was the "Clarkstown".

For our regular FT (non-tuffleyverse)games I go with no firing in the
rear
arc if drives are used for acceleration/decelerration. In FT games based
round ST or B5 we go with rear arc shooting if drives are used. I see it
more as a background thing.
