My little experiment #Z436 (the number is iconic not sequencial), was interesting and bring some interesting data even when was a failure. See summary as follows:
Objective: using arcs to combine damage of all weapons in the ship a target in upper side (not in my broadside).
Weapons: Cannons, Dual Beam Banks, Beam Arrays.
Ship: Mirror Escort Advanced (is a 4/3 weapons slot,
The idea was get a combination of weapons firing in a angle
of 40º to 60º/300º to 320º, so my target will be between
my front (1200) and my side (1400).
Front: 3x cannons (180º arc) +1 DBB (90º arc)
Rear: 2x Beam Arrays (250º arc) + Torpedo Launcher (to fill the medium empty slot)
Tested in "Starbase Defense" 2 times.
Status: F A I L
Firing arcs and gap between them.
Reason: Between the DBB and BA there are 20º empty firing range only cover by cannons.

Not all was bad, I gather valuable info to made another setup more useful from my point of view.
All weapons in this setup can fire the weapons to a target no matter he is, they cover 360º,
however main strike is at 90º front.
Side strike: cannons + Beam arrays in the 70º overlap between those.
Suplemental: A tactic was developed called "Double Spear!"
Picture of the ship later.
