See firing arc for more info. From what I understand, neither the Ghost nor the Shadowcaster have auxiliary arcs.

The Ghost's "special firing arc" is an auxiliary firing arc for the most part, but whereas normally you cannot shoot secondary weapons from an aux firing arc, the Ghost allows it natively (I think that's why it's "special"). On top of that, the Phantom title allows the special firing arc to act as a primary arc when the Phantom is docked.

From what I've read, the Shadowcaster's mobile firing arc is definitely not an auxiliary arc, as it is not affected by the restrictions that accompany aux arcs. Instead, it's essentially a primary arc that you can move around. FFG hasn't said much yet about how it works - we have to wait for more information.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a clarification on all this when the next FAQ comes out.
