Oooh, that problem.

The issue there is the slots are defined in two DIFFERENT places. Where you changed them, and in SpaceObjects_Xfiles.txt.

The later sets the maximum size of the arc. You can make it smaller via PurchaseShips and StartingShips, but not bigger..

And no, it isn't editing the ship file; just the text file. Look for lines like these:

Firing Point 1 Arc Start := 315
Firing Point 1 Arc End := 45
Aha! I had the same problem and now I could fix it... if my computer with Starfury on it were usable.

Oh well, when I get a newer and much more powerful computer I'll finally be able to make a Terran battleship with 4 forward-firing heavy weapon mounts! Muhahahaha!
