Hi Alfdaur, as soon as things settle down a bit I'll update one of the strategy posts up for 1.1.  Meantime, a couple of tips, assuming that you have the basics of a good start down:

Regardless of race, learn to play and love carriers.  If you tech to carriers right out of the gate then your scouting reveals that you don't need them no problem, but right now they are the most versatile units in the game for both offense and defense. 

Make sure you have the capability to counter carriers.  Flak no longer cuts it, unless you want at least half of your ships to be flak.  LRM are no good either - too slow.  Instead, use your fighters in combo with light frigates to keep the skies clear while you kill the carriers themselves with your quick frigates.  You should have 2-3 light frigates for every enemy carrier.  Look at all those caps we ignored in 1.5.  Alot of them have useful anti-strikecraft abilities. 

Don't spam.  Regardless of what ships you've churned out in the past, focus on creating mixed fleets that are flexible and effective against many ship types. 

Hope this helps.

I wouldent do that if ire you too many carriers is just too much to handle and easy to counter do what Ke5trel said have a mixxed fleet rather than a massed up one of one unit.also since you are not used to 1.1 you might wanna go to the change log and see what they changed like repulsion for instance its takes anitmatter and now is interuptalbe(you can cancel it). Not much else you can do about strategies till everyone get an idea on how the new gameplay is like.

A few things aobut the races IF you played 1.5

RA is alot different ill wouldent recommend it and ilums have a decreased damamge i think 5 front weapon and 2.5 sides other than that your gonna have to wait my friend i dought any2 will get a guide anytime soon

lots of stuff disables engiens long enough to kill a carrier, rinse and repeat:)

only viable unit for this is subverter.

By the time you tech to them, the carriers will roll over your worlds like locust swamr and kill all your shit.

for every carrir you kill, you lose 3x more in recources.

Yeah, a sound plan!

you people, you dont realise why carrier rocks now.

Before, when you delt enought damage to kill one carrier, it died. It took some effort but was doable.

Now you need to dead damage to kill 2-3carriers, and the upgrades do stack nicely on carrier hulls.

So now if yu deal enought damage to kill one 1.05 carrier, you only wound 1.1 carrier, that can run away and exit graw well.

They also heal the rate 2-3 carrier instead of 1. So while you shoot at target that is x1, it heals as it was x2-3.

You also forget that carrier can engade your forces ALL THE TIME. From anywhere from the graw well, and you can engade hardly one carrier, if carriers are running all in diferent directions. And even when carrier dies, the figter squadron dont die imideatly, so carrier firepowe dont diminish in proportion the carriers  you kill.

Only solution to carrier problem is to bring equal number or more carriers.

So going on early carrier swarm and then going on raiding offensive usualy screws players that play defensive/techs. You cant stop the fighters before they chew up something expensive and then carriers run away to re-arm FREE FIGHTRS.

Well you like Marzas, keep scouting and you hould know what well he is jumping to and as 99% of ppl dont bother with moving to much can even figure out what side of a phaselane he will apear at, move your fleet so he jumps in ontop of your own fleet and instagib him. another fun capplay is
