too slow, needs to have less restrictions and making weapons takes too long.

Small ship combat is really fast, capital combat is really slow... just like it should be.
Battles in general last a lot longer, allowing for a lot more tactical fleet maneuvering.
Modding sucks right now... hopefully they'll be ways to upgrade in the future besides stripping other ships of their high-level parts.
New planet def is MEAN. No more solo capping a well-built planet... they use level 12 lasers and level 8-12 missiles. Ouch.
Despite complaints about the EAD's effectiveness, after tonight I am thoroughly convinced that the QST alone makes it worthy of being an FA ship. Even without the extra armor arc and 2 extra torp launchers.
ICC assault dread, while not having flown it personally since its update, seems to be nigh on unusable. In a button mashing contest with an EAD, SITTING STILL, the AD runs out of energy and the EAD wins, easily. Not sure how it can be made usable... but need to do something with it! No use having a ship that runs out of breath just sitting still.
Dreads are extremely powerful now. This is both a good thing and bad... dreads are killing machines to be feared, but anything smaller than another dread seems only to have a negligible effect on them, by itself. I'm sure that a group of smaller ships could easily overwhelm a single unsupported dreadnought though, as it was meant to be.
Fighters are grand... now if only we had that nice command interface that we've been looking forward to for a couple of years now... but hey, I guess it can wait for the more important stuff.

Maybe they can bring back grouping and fix the distress system that doesnt work in the current release version.

Grouping.. Ahh, I wish they would bring back grouping. Though the systems of it need adjusting.
