How have things Changed?

So, I used to be a fairly regular player on ICO, but in the past several months have been unable to play SOASE. I'm starting to play the game again, so I ask; what has changed in the competative scene with the recent patches? I haven't really seen how the game's changed, so it'd be nice to see what's different. Thanks. ^_^

What was the last version and patch that you played?  Welcome back.

I was playing before v1.3 Diplomacy, so there's a lot of things that have changed. Have any of those seriously affected MP? I'm mainly curious about the Demo Bot buff; that was something I was arguing for a while back to keep late-game TEC competative.

Thanks for the welcome back. I hope to get back into playing fairly regularly. ^_^

everyone who plays a lot of online multiplayer is getting better, and the difference of player skill is getting smaller as a whole, so the matches are becoming more competitive and interesting.  Newbies entering into 5v5's upset the cart more then ever now, need to have two  newbies on other teams as they are so far behind the curve.

As for the details, small changes here and there but entrenchment still has had the biggest influence on multiplayer, diplomacy adds a few nice upgrades but aren't nearly as important as fleet spam and good micro.

Look to rebellion for any major sweeping changes to the multiplayer version of the game.
