I think this is a good example of the communication difficulty in this entire
series of threads. 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.

I meant 60 degrees total, not 60 degrees each. I.e. If you drew the courses as
infinite lines, their angle of incidence would be 60 degrees
or less.  I did not mean that each course was +/- 60 degrees from a
third (reference) line.
