- Lowered the Elite Assault Dreadnought's mass to bring it in line with the other assault class ships
I know mass affects accel/decell and turning rate,
but was just the mass of the hull changed, or were some equipments/stats changed in order to reduce mass?

Less Heavy CLs maybe? 
Unless they have an Allspark thingie which can shrink the mass of the guns....

Just the base hull value.

Expanding on what Shig said, each ship has a base mass value that all gadgets are based off. The EAD always had an extra base mass value due to it having a point penalty because of the extra EMP cannon it has.
Due to the lack-luster effects of the EMP cannon (will be fixed at some point) and the fact that the new layouts are likely to be coming soon pending scrutinisation, I believed it was time to remove the mass nerf.
This does not mean the EAD will be turning on a dime, or anything close to it. It's gadgets still dictate it's overall mass, as is the same for all ships, but it will be quicker to accelerate/deaccelerate than before.
