Well, cruising is generally an option people don't quickly go for in fights between capital ships given the substantial loss of energy. And if necessary, the heavy battleship can spot the cruise early enough and simply cruise right after them.
The few degrees of steering lost might making grabbing lanes and such a tad of a pain, I have to admit that. On the other hand, with a bit of practice, it's quite doable already as long as nobody bumps into you.
I'd personally say it's worth considering at the very least.
Oh, and really.. A battleship flying without any kind of CD-armed escort should pretty much be a sitting duck. In the case of two battleships fighting it out completely solo, either side can just decide to cruise away and leave as-is.
