hija angel, wb.
a year huh well lemme see.
icc got boosted, nerfed, boosted, nerfed and boosted a bit. same for ugto and luth.
map layout changed. most fights are in 1 system kalled kaus. 30% of cases enemy goes trough a gate in kaus to check dres-kona, tetra or r33. in rare occaisions u see ships elsewhere.
cloak got changed, eccm doesnt increase decloak time that much anymore. ecm doesnt speed it up that much. ship layouts got changed, the krill is no longer used. mandable is mid range assault ship. command dread of uggies fires loads op torps and mines. gauss is almost useless as a weapon now.
i think those are the important ones

Reading the devlog could help but there's alot of information in there, and some of it was "undone" like not being able to use HCL for PD (you still can)
In general the largest and most important change (read the devlog for the mundane) is that ships are more specialized now. Assault ships are just that, assault focused. Defensive ships are more defensive. The stations show this most clearly, the support classes have a "repair field" and long range "stay out of range" missiles with few weapons. Battle station classes have tons of core weapons, massive amounts of Hvy beams and no long range weaponry. (they also no longer have repair drones)
The focus is on using more specialized ships to win effectivly. Dreads for isntance can't take out fighters on thier own anymore (the fighters stay out of beam range of thier target) So you need quick and agile point defense ships to help mitigate their damage.
Also, not sure when it was implimented, but the way planets are capped/bombed has been completly changed as well.
Honestly, the best way is just to get into the game and experience the changes for yourself.
