1 thing...you cant change slots place. You just choose to put what you can mount on slots . For example: if you dont like your AAA gun just shoot from 1 side of ship, change the gun place and to know where to put it, just mount all slots with cheap turets to test all slot places and it number + it place on ship and the shoot arc.Then put suitable gun on suitable slot which match with it. Its only way to avoid money waste also.It may help ye.
However, if you run a open snigleplayer, you can check there without needing to put a dent into your sever credits. You should be able to remember the order of weapons to place the things in.
Use 2 pulse, 1 mortar, rest primary turrets;)Move them around till you get them where you want/to your style. Every cruiser has different arcs for each turret slot. Just gotta test it you mate.
Cheers
Simplest way it to mount a cheap basic turret on all slots, then activating them 1 by 1 to test their arcs. If you want to do it outside of the game, you could use HardCMP (google it) to open the ship model files directly, and check the HpTurret arcs.

If you're looking for firing arcs on a specific ship let me know, I use ioncross to test out ships in singleplayer and can acquire any ship and any weapons necessary.
