Tough honestly I am mostly just looking for specific recommendations on the points I listed, if I was smart enough to grasp the underlying principles of these things I wouldn't be bothering the forum with my stupid questions.
The main discrepancies in combat with the new release are balance changes to ships, and the addition of some new weapons, but I don't think people have played enough yet to give a definitive analysis of all of those changes. You can check out the patch notes (https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=26020.0) to see what has changed with this new update. If something has not been changed in this patch, the existing guides should still be reasonable.
If all else fails, test in the simulator!
