sooo... looking at the fireing arc thing, the six firing points dont correspond with any of the slots on the other data file.

and if they are just cosmetic, i would have to assume that they are points on the parimater of the ship used for drawing beam effects and such, and that any weapon can fire out of any point, depending on which can see the enemy that needs to be seen.

it also suggests that if a modder forgets to cover an area with an arc, or double covers an area, there may be some problems.

i wonder if you place multiple fireing points covering a single arc, that if you could get a single weapon looking like multiple weapons. that would have some interesting graphical possibilities.
