I got what gentlemans want, make more tactical BS fights instead of heavy BS charges all the time.
CD drone for BS not a good idea AI also doesnt handle that well.
Cruise inhibitor Fields sounds good but I think it should be Carrier only cuz they are support ship now and Yes more tactical BS fights than Cruising on enemy fleet with brick ships, that battle will last 2 min
Where it was 3 turtles versus two hurt Tokus and poor poor Kaze in a snub.
Then!
And to this day, I still don't know what a genous is.
Bottom line, if you want to 1 v 1 in battleships and don't want them to run away or cruise at you, don't 1 v 1 or go Conn. Have friends. I do think it's the point of this game and balance direction.

nah more like there should be an Interdictor cruiser (no, not LABC) which can deploy these fields at the cost of being way less weaponry or mobility
Price question: How do you want to create anti-BS-only CDs? The current mechanic behind CDs doesn't make any difference between ship-classes, which is the reason why we never got different types of CDs in first place. Right now, any CD can stop the mighty engines of battleships. Literally anyone, snubs, freighters, some transports, gunboats, cruisers and battlecruisers can CD anything. If you give Battleships a CD, it also makes flaks redundant. The CD needs to be fast enough to catch up to a battleship at ~4k range to prevent it from cruising and probably higher to intercept an EK-cruising battleship. CD-AoE-Fields would be overpowered. If the CD is too fast and has high range, you can also use them against Nightmares and Hurricanes.
So, if keep things serious. If give to BS ability to CD another BS it should be kind of CD low traking projectile in heavy, disrupt only BS.
Orrrr.. why not make FLAK alike CD in secs?
If give support things like cruise ingibitor area to carriers, it should be probably in CM slot, with area like 1-3k. I anyway hope carriers would be further remaden, because right now they seems have more bad area denial than BCr.
Upd. Sombra asked right question, is it all even real?

You cant but you can make CDs slower or dumbfire

Make them low ammo and require more energy to fire maybe around 3mil power so you will waste ammo and power by shooting down missiles etc

800ms proj speed dumb fire CD or tracking CD with 0.10 turn rate, that cant track BCs and smaller ships unless its moving straight
