Hello,
With 1.8 looming over the horizon i already started theorycrafting and thinking about what will change in my strategy on fleet setups and meta builds with the new changes.
Together with this, i am planning to update my ship building guide to 1.8 and wanted to throw some opinions here and have some discussion about combat balance.
Lets start with weapons:

- Strike craft
Strike craft got massively buffed, there is a good chance they will take a place among the best weapons in the game vs AE/Late game fleets along with plasma, since both are very efficient at killing battleships and ignoring armor.
- Missiles
Missiles finally got buffed, but they usefulness will once again be diminished in the late game. Download gta 5 free v1 44. Missiles are more or less kinetics with 100% accuracy, this will turn them to the best weapon to focus on in the early-mid game vs destroyers and corvette fleets.
However against late game AE/FE fleets and battleships/cruisers, they will fall behind plasma and strikecraft due to lack of armor pierce.
- Flak battery - Changed to now specialize vs strikecraft, once again flak will be the dominant PD weapon on your ship as strikecraft will pose far greater threat than missiles in the late game.For Adobe Reader users who can’t update to Adobe Reader 9.1, Adobe has provided the Adobe Reader 8.1.4 and Adobe Reader 7.1.1 updates.

- Point Defense - Changes to now specialize vs missiles, will be great at the early game against missile fleets, but will fall off in the mid - late game as missiles are weak against cruisers and battleships. Also, AE/FE fleets don't make a large use of missiles in the first place.
TLDR: Strike craft and plasma will probably dominate the late game, missiles will dominate the early game, flak will get higher value vs FE/AE massive aircraft fleets, PD won't be as useful in the late game, plasma is still the king.

Corvettes - will feel the buff to missiles at the early game for sure, meaning you would rather run with destroyers early on if your neighbors are missile-heavy, with the buff to strikecraft corvettes value in the late game increases due to their great evasive bonuses at dodging them.
Destroyers - With their new behavior and the changes to pd/flak, destroyers will likely go extinct. Unless wiz heared my pleas and let us choose which battle computer to give them, they will turn into little more than suicide ships and will get blown up by enemy cruisers in moments. The idea of making a ship dedicated to counter a weapon/s by stuffing it with PD/flak is a terrible idea as its worthless in combat since it deals no damage. Destroyers high accuracy bonuses and their tendancy to sit behind cruisers during space battles, which made them so desirable may get ruined by their suicidal computer leading to their quick deaths.
Besides, cruisers can take up PD duty with their hangar slots, which got buffed, this serves as a far better solution.
Cruisers- will continue to dominate the meta, especially after the buff to strike craft, cruisers can now deal damage, equip hangar slots AND serve as PD/flak duty, all in a single loadout.

Battleships-
Have a good chance to make a comeback as aircraft carriers with strikecraft being viable again, which is great news.
TLDR: Cruisers are still meta, aircraft carriers will likely make a comeback, destroyers will probably got extinct.
