This is a great discussion.
Weirda really like cruisers a lot, and fly them mostly (except when grinding for isk... even then... sometimes a cruiser is a lot more fun).
Also - agree with most of the suggestions for boosting them.. a hair more hp... agility... those things would be good (and speed)... but don't forget to boost the stabber speed at same ratio - it's SUPPOSED to be fastest! 
Target Painters keep getting mentioned, and was thinking about that too... Perhaps a 25% decrease in base sig across the board... that way, 1 painter (no skills, cheap painter) would only bring them to where they are with no painter. They really SHOULDN'T be as easy to hit with a BS. Obviously ultra-gank platforms will still wtfpwn them, but at least they will be more effective. Don't forget to reduce the sig radius of medium guns a little too! This would result in better hits on BS, and slightly better on frigs... and with the reduction in the cruiser sig, it would stay the same.
Anyhow... Cruisers are great.

Speaking of Cruisers warping faster... I noticed the other day that my Eagle HAC warps at 3.7AU/sec, but my Stabber only warps at 3.0AU/sec ?? (don't know if anyone else has noticed this... just thought I'd share  )
Would still like to see faster cruisers, but its a start
Also on a side note... I love those T2 250's on the Eagle, nothing like a 51-52km optimal w/AM ammo
(to bad, that in PvP this puts me right in the sweetspot of alot of battleships)

Couple of things needs changing.
First off they need agility, lots of it, a HUGE boost in it actually, they turn like BS's right now... just wrong.
Speed increase, they shouldnt be going just 30-80m/s faster than bs, should be around 110 on average if you ask me.
Med Nos, this is the only damn nos that when compared to guns is on the high end of the pg usage scale, it needs a reduction, 200 is a bit insane.
Then a tad more Hp and theyd be useful again, like they were when we had dual mwd/ab's.

Cruisers are good for taking out a few intys or a lone assault frig (medium nosf \o/), but will generally die to a BS before they can warp.
Of course one EW cruiser and two damage dealers can normally take out a lone BS. For people that can't fly T2 ships they are pretty decent. Once you can fly T2, there isn't much reason unless you are really broke.
Oh and its normally only the few cruisers that are stupidly overpowered compared to their peers that get flown (Thorax and Arbitrator).

I think that is probably the first time anyone has accused the Arbie of being overpowered.

 if you want to fly a cruiser-later on in the game after all your skills are good-then you would fight BS's in a speedy HAC like a vagabond! with level 5 navigation skills and cruiser skill-you would really move fast and agile in it!
also-wouldnt you consider a battlecruiser as a fun "cruiser" toy? but the HAC's are for more experienced players-they are tech 2 armor and shields with more medium and low slots than the battlecruisers-looks like BC's have more weapons tho
