Another question. Do you have to give Seeker weapons firing arcs? Shouldn't they default to 360? (Ejected from a bay , fire maneuvering thrusters for alignment , then light up main propulsion)
I think the intent here is that the weapons have to be have LOS to the target (via appropriate arc) so that their targeting systems can lock-on to it initially...even with the battery firing them, the battery would need to be able to target them. 360 would only be appropriate if the ship was using a central targeting system rather than individual battery based...but even then, once fired, the seekers would require updating which could theoretically be jammed, leaving them in target limbo.
Honestly, there are several ways to interpret the why's, how's, why-not's on this...but logically my initial statement seems the most likely.
That is correct. The firing arc is required to get the initial lock-on, but the target does not need to remain in that arc once the seekers are launched.
