Does it still have the silly rock/paper/scissors balancing of the base game?

After having been brought up on the lore-sensitive (if not entirely accurate) gameplay of X-wing/Tie Fighter, the way EaW was balanced ruined it for me.

Even the Forces of Corruption expansion pack reduced the rockpaperscissors mechanic massively, so I assume that there would be less of that, but with an RTS would naturally be set up with units beating some but not others.

Wish starsector had that kind of scope of scale.
