Ok, you're not interested in joining another faction. That's perfectly fine.
Put simply, these two have pointed out that Cruiser vessels fill fairly specific roles. If you don't consider diversifying your range of ships (as well as having the cruisers), you may find yourselves in situations where you are at a strong disadvantage in combat.
