Revert cruiser slots changes

[Haste]

I didn't really want to be the one posting it but, yes. A ton of the work going into capital ships since about 2021 has been about trying to move them away from just very large snubcraft with turretsteer (and -zoom) and giving them playstyles and identities of their own. The most snublike capitals by far are Gunboats, for somewhat obvious reasons (FWGs and mines creating similar movement patterns, but in TS). Ships with flawless 360 arcs everywhere and their smallest profile being their front/back will basically always resolve into chasing and kiting gameplay, which is precisely why we don't want that kind of perfect turret coverage.

I just find this kiting rear firing slow chip damage meta incredibly dull - one 1hr + fleet fight is fun once per week tops, then it just gets frustrating am I the only one? And it's not about this patch but last one too

This is an opinion you are obviously entitled to, but one of the most cited complaints about capital ship combat pre-5.0 was the fact that half the time you couldn't log in and lane/cruise over to a 10v10 fleet fight before it was over. It's far too early to tell how short or long TTK in 5.1 really is, but I'm personally quite happy with how it looks initially. Cruisers might be a tad explosive with their engine health, but that's also kind of the point. They're a very volatile class.

Oh, and in general, I don't really agree with the sentiment that Cruisers' strongest guns are backwards. Their most efficient ones are, which is very important, but their offensively strongest turrets are very clearly forward-facing.
