we got 360° and we got fixed forward 45° (alt+0176 for degree symbol) and I would really like to see some 180's and 270's on the turrets facing forward, back, left and right. And if we are feeling crazy maybe some double 45° for broadsides.

The config data for most of the ships with unusual fields of fire is actually already in the the data files -- and plugging those into the tactical engine wouldn't be too hard. The hardest part of the feature is going to be exposing the field of fire information to players in a relatively clean way. I think we'd need to add additional decorations to the hardpoint slots in the designer, so that player's know which mounts have unusual firing arc traits-- and I'm not quite sure when we'll have time for that.

It could just be text in the design interface. Or you could just use the arcs made in the battle interface, just a ghost wedge showing the arc.
