The premise is good. There are some ships that are, quite simply, bollox. Cruisers as you said, what's the point? Apart from being quick, they're rubbish for anything.

Like if light fighters had RF against RIPS or something so that the mix of ships is more strategic. Cruisers could also fill a new niche since the speedy aspect of them doesn't seem to matter as much later in the game. Same goes for heavy fighters.
