Wait strikecraft are powerful? I wouldn't know since they didn't put any relaxant date in the Battle report.  like seriously Paradox you know how many die so why can you tell me how much damage the did?

I think there's a top post on the subreddit about the weapon changes.

I'd link it but I'm mobile. It should be on the front page though.

From what I read, the changes are pretty extensive.

On strikecraft, I think it takes about how they're really damaging now, but because all the AI spam PD, the fighters are almost useless or something.

Mm, in vanilla anything that is countered by PD is useless. They're too strong to begin with and AI love making fleets with a ton of it.

Oddly enough I don't even think anything makes up for that weakness.

The best weapons in the game are immune to PD

Jesus tapdancing christ. Wanna know how they "fixed" ship behavior? They just made a set of class-based default behaviors. That's why you can't give aggressive/defensive computers to everything, they (apparently) aren't actually in the game now, it's just that tier 2+ CCs use their old images. And all of the class CCs still use the same default behaviors, which is why they'll always be forced to act the same way regardless of what weapons or equipment you give them. Missiles and a big engine on a corvette? Charge right in! Autocannons and thick armor on a destroyer? Sit at the back!

Gonna have to go through and duplicate & rewrite all of the entries for all of the combat computers and class behaviors so that I can at least give them all the two basic options of "charge in" and "hold the range open". :IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The reason they've done that is to try to give the classes some differentiation rather than just encouraging corvette spam which was the old optimal play style. It does restrict the player, but as there's no tactical gameplay, not a great deal is lost by it. I'd have personally preferred them to allow the player to change it up if they'd like, (no 'combat computer' - just set the range that design should engage at) but it's better than before I think.

After a preemptive invasion, I decided to be nice to the aliens I conquered.

I felt guilty just conquering them, but I need those resources

Once I get the ability to have Xeno leaders, I plan on putting a Ymacera in charge of the place.

Don't worry. The Unbidden aren't worth six Pence.

I have this recurring and very annoying issue where the game basically corrupts spontaneously. Hotkeys suddenly no longer work or change completely, many things can't be clicked on, visual bugs pop up...

It becomes virtually unplayable. The only half-way decent solution I have is to re-install.
