So the differences are:
[li] -AM and -AAM damage multipliers
[li] BS and SS being +2 to hit
[li] Point defense
[li] Loaded fighters being slower
[li] Activation rolls
[li] Shear planes affecting force beams (to be confirmed)
[li] Smaller ships being able to go faster that speed 6
Anyone else remember what else is different?
