For the record, 140ms is also not an excessive ping for this game—certainly not enough to require you to play brainded OP classes to be competitive. I play with a consistent 180~200ms and I still manage to get some blues somehow, despite being at the lower end of mid-skill in pvp.

When they release the Crusier Rework? yes, they were ridiculously OP
No, before the rework and maybe a little after too (when the new weps first dropped). Oh how I miss solo'ing Battleships in a Takeda with 360 arc weps, shooting mortars behind me, just casually corkscrewing at my max range, avoiding every single shot because the Battleship lacks velocity to hit me.
As primarily a Cruiser pilot as far as caps go, will say that 1v1s suck ass. Strangely, Criuser 1v1s felt more entertaining prior to the changes, but that's probably just the neuron activation I get from lots of guns.
80% of cap play is just good positioning though, especially on a Cruiser. You need to pay attention to ship movements, hit-run, skirmish with ships to keep them from pressing an advantage on your fleet. Shield-Regen off when you want to press an attack, Shield-Regen on when you're pulling away and would like as much defence as possible.
When contending with a monster, you'd be wise to give the devil his due.
