That's pretty easy. Each weapon slot has a firing point set for it in the ComponentConfigurationSlots files. The actual firing direction is in the SpaceObjects_XFiles.txt file, it looks like this...

Quote:
Firing Point 1 X := 0.8
Firing Point 1 Y := -0.41
Firing Point 1 Z := 3.7
Firing Point 1 Arc Start := 315
Firing Point 1 Arc End := 45
Just change the Start and End values to whatever you want (in degrees). The arcs shown in the inventory screen are defined in the ComponentConfigurationSlots files themselves and should be set to match the values in the XFiles file.
