Cruisers will be unable to go toe to toe with a Battleship (which will have more and longer-range firepower), but will DOMINATE gunboats (their problem opponent of late) because by the time a Gunboat is within firing range its shield and a third of its hull are gone, thus limiting the Gunboat to what it should be: an anti-fighter weapon.
And, while I'm in here, I might as well drop in a little note about mandatory faction control of Battleship licensing: DON'T TRUST US. I proposed the exact same thing once; needless to say, my mind has changed.
