Hi superteddy57,
I've also started using the new Starship combat with a new group and encountered some of these difficulties so thank you for helping to clear up!
Another problem I'm having that I don't think was raised above was my PC starship is incorrectly setting the firing arc of the weapon mount (not the target arc which can be toggled). I.e. I made a small starship with a forward and aft light mount, put weapons into these, and then when using a player character sheet to fire the weapons I noted the PC gunnery actions were all saying the weapons were forward arc. As such things like "forward wrecked" status applied to all other arc mounts. This repeated on another larger ship.
There didn't seem to be a way to manually change the arcs, or fix by resetting the sheet.
Please see screenshot, (left is gunnery actions box from PC sheet, right is PC ship tactical weapons mount list). Note the arcs all have symbols pointing forward and not one forward and one aft.
Any help appreciated!
