c) it makes some cheesy maneuvers possible.  Let's say you have a MD4
ship pursuing a MD6 ship in direction 12. Your opponent can start out
facing you, Rotate to 12, Thrust by 4, then Rotate to 6. He spends 5/6
of his turn facing away from you, but still gets the benefit of
shooting at you with his F arc.

A couple of comments here:  

Does it make sense that the ship with greater thrust rating should
control
the range of the engagement?  IMHO, yes.

lets look at two mass 60 hulls one with MD6 the other with MD4

hull	60
md4	12
md6	18

So, the md4 ship will have an extra 6 hull spaces to dedicate to arcs or
put
in a L2 screen.  It seems like an interesting tradeoff.  Large arcs
allow
larger ships to engage multiple targets spread across multiple arcs. 
The F
arc ship can only engage targets in a given arc.

I can PSB the 5/6 ths time issue by saying that you can track targets in
your aft arc but not fire at them if you fire the thrust drive.
