Unique Power Idea

Hi Guys.

Another idea from me.
Feel free to shoot this down.

How about a ship with a Unique ability to modify its arcs on the fly.
Sort of like the idea they where toying with for broadside arcs, but with the ability to change them.

Say, 4 forward weapons, cannons/beams/torps whatever you like, fire off the power for Starboard arcs, 5 sec charge time and boom all four weapons are now 90 degree starboard firing ones.
Same for other facings, 5 sec charge and 10 sec cool down between choosing a new arc, also when choosing an arc all weapons are on that arc.
There would also be a default ability that would reset your arcs back to the weapon defaults.

Does that make sense?
Let me know what you think?

To be capable of that, a ship would need to have it's weapons mounted on some kind of ring or disc that rotates around it. At that point, there isn't any logical reason why such a structure would be designed to perform 90 degree turns with charge up and cooldown, instead of having a constant turn rate and being able to track a target.

Also, other than circle-strafing slow targets with DHCs, I fail to see what that ability would do that turning the ship couldn't.
