Why don't people use cruisers much?

Why don't people use cruisers much?

I'm fairly new to SOASE, but in the games I've watched and played, I hardly ever see cruisers used.  Mostly, it's frigates, esp. corvettes, capital ships, and titans.  Are cruisers that bad/inefficient that no-one wants to use them?  Or are they used a lot and I've just been unlucky in not seeing people use them?

It also depends on map size, base fleet size, and economy. If you can get sufficent fighter coverage the can really come into their own. The Kodiak and the Enforcer also have some useful abilities.

OH holy fuck you don't know what trolling is. That's called a relevant comment, not a troll.

i like to use heavy cruisers in every game. I like to have as few ships as possible and the cruisers have awesome firepower.

Ever hear of the light carrier? You'll see one for sure if you play a vasari.

Obvious Mecha-Lenin second forum account. <_<

Heavy cruisers are reserved for elite crews and commanders who want to join the final battle or be sent deep into space for other corvert missions. They take longer to contruct in all production facilities and use up a lot more resources because they are heavily armored.

As you can imagine this makes them expensive but their fire-power makes up for this being able to deal 150% to all armor types except strike craft.

 

Heavy cruisers are obviously nice and make great defenders while hiding behind repair platforms.

Back on topic, why would Mecha make a second forum account when he already has 2 other troll accounts?

Better question:  why would he name one of them MooMugger?

Oddly enough, this is the second time I have seen references to smurfs today.  They must be more popular than I thought.  Just for reference, this is the first:

Sorry.  I just think that is a very funny photo.

OH MY GOD I'M TRAUMATIZED FOR LIFE.

I'm a two year old boy in love with smurfs. I just saw a smurf brutally murdered by a baby and then eaten. I'm depressed now, and it's your fault. Goodbye, and I hope you sleep badly tonight.

Congratulations, young man, on your excellent typing skills.  If it will help you, I spoke to the baby and she said your friend was...DELICIOUS!
