Due to their ability to bypass shields, Strike Craft are very effective against other Strike Craft. Strike Craft are more reliant on Shields, Missiles and Torpedoes are more reliant on Armor. Flak Batteries now more strongly counter Strike Craft, while Point Defense now more strongly counter missiles and torpedoes.

Strike Craft no longer intercept missiles, but will continue to fight each other.

'Swarm' and 'Torpedo' behavior will charge in, 'Picket' and 'Line' behaviors will attempt to stay at the range of their median range weapons, and 'Artillery' and 'Carrier' will try to stay at the range of their longest ranged weapons.This generally increases the desire for ships to remain at range if possible. Ship combat computers now ignore certain weapons for desired range purposes, and base their desired distance on the actual loadout of the ship.Added a minimum range to all Large weapons except Lasers.Small weapons of a category now have a slightly faster refire rate, Large weapons of a category now have a slightly slower refire rate.Some sources of Evasion have been replaced with other effects.Unlike standard torpedoes, they remain instant hit weapons for now.

Damage has been adjusted to be balanced as a Torpedo class weapon, and like the new Torpedoes, they deal increased damage to larger targets.

Energy Torpedoes such as Proton and Neutron Launchers have been changed into G class weapons with a minimum range.

Torpedoes now have a maximum firing arc of 25 degrees.

The Unbidden also get a reduced variant of this.

Torpedoes now gain a multiplicative damage bonus to their damage based on the ship size of the target, as do Prethoryn missiles.

Added a new ship size: Frigates are an advanced form of Corvette specialized in delivering G class weapons.

If you do not possess any weapons that fulfill the selected role, it’ll do its best with what you have.

Ship Roles can now be selected to auto-design ships that actually fulfill certain roles, such as Artillery, Brawler, Torpedo, and so on.
