Speaking from my perspective after only being back for like five or so months, so take it with a grain of salt if you must.
PvP has not been fun. The current model does not encourage me to practice or participate in any capacity. I don't find it accessible, engaging, or relatively easy to catch on and pick up any ship that isn't a VHF right now. As far as I'm concerned, everything else is a disaster. Dispersion is a joke. Cap balance is not fun (for the love of god just sit down and fix battleships). Fights do not last long enough to be worth logging in for and even if through some miracle they did, I'd be stuck using weapons and equipment that's so weird and out of place from the norm after sudden and drastic changes that I feel out of place.
Even after practicing, even after running tests with people, the result remained the same. It is not an enjoyable experience right now. There isn't a single piece of equipment or a single gun that appeals to me as worthwhile that isn't a 750m/s 3.03 snub gun.
Trying to pitch ideas of specializing and maybe changing a few things so certain people like myself who do have accessibility issues with the game might actually stand a chance, but was instead told I make people log off. The only person I've made log off recently is myself.
Reduce dispersion.
Reduce missile capacity.
Bring back gunboat missiles.
Fix battleships without making them worse than they've already been.
The component changes are neat. Bomber changes are great, but the fundamentals are all over the place right now and it's not a good experience.
