Firing Arcs

Weapons have 8 possible firing arcs. Forwards, backwards, left, right, and the four diagonals.

The left and right 'arcs' are straight lines of tiles that go perpendicular to a ship's direction of travel. The only weapons that are limited to firing in a single arc (and thus limited to only these arcs) are fixed guns such as the cannon. The forwards and backwards arcs are cones that extend from the ship (the black square) as shown by the grey areas on the diagram.

Other tiles are part of the diagonal arcs.
