chan,

i ran into this with B5 ships in FT. the problem is that certain ships (like
EA Omega DD) rely on centerlining a target to hit with the most weapons. this
is fine for a hex map, but very difficult with hexless (gotta be precisely
lined up).

i think the arcs you suggest are fine as long as the above design problem does
not occur. ship design should probably have overlapping versus mutually
exclusive weapon arcs. even arcs like FH (front half), LH (left half), etc.
work well and provide racial ship design flavor.
