When I get battlecruisers I tend to scrap (sorry, phase out) anything smaller. Battleships are great because they are just as fast in combat and have larger weapon mounts.

If I've taken propulsion experts, I'll use battlecruisers (max speed 13/7) as rapid reaction forces and dreadnoughts (max speed 11/6) instead of battleships for strike fleets.

I hardly ever use cruisers as I'm usually preparing to build great fleets of battlecruisers - I'd use 'em in an emergency, obviously.
