I would never consider ships that are 120 degrees divergent (even 90 degrees divergent) from parallel to be "facing more or less towards one another". This particular range is described more accurately by "facing more (at 120 degrees) or less (at 95 degrees) _away_ from one another." Only the 90 degree divergent case is equally "towards" or "away, " (and assuming that one force does not start in the FH arc of the other) but the best term for that is "orthogonal". As is often the case, without full knowledge of initial conditions and preconceptions, it's almost impossible to provide answers that satisfy. That full knowledge is unfortunately often very slow in coming.
