The real disadvantage I'm facing right now is total inexperience - I noticed in the one battle I've fought, my "Break Formation/Wall" setup led to the BBs being left in the dust by the light cruisers; is this a problem? Is there a solution that isn't worse than the problem?
With half of the engine classes, battleships and light cruisers move at the same speed in combat. When the light cruiser has an even amount of strategic movement points and the battleships have an odd amount, they get the exact same combat movement rate. Research more propulsion and stellar harnessing (for solar sails), if you haven't already. With maximum levels in these areas, LCs will be able to have a strategic move of 12 and combat move of 6, and BBs will have a strategic move of 11 and combat move of 6.
