Default Best defense against pyschic converter?

It probably has been covered before, but the threads are so long It would take forever finding it. I would like to ask again, and apoligize if repeating question.
What is the best defense against psychic converters? I read in past that they affect both regular crew and computer crews and that I don't think this has been addressed in a patch yet as far as computer crews being affected.

Aside from MCs, which may or may not help, the best defense is lots of ships. The things only fire once per combat, remember..

Wave Motion Guns are quite a deterrent - especially using Talismans and Max Range tactics. Sit out past their range and nail 'em....

An intact MC will prevent any Crew SubVersion.

As soon as the MC is destroyed, the ship will be vulnerable, even if it has no actual crew on board.

Weapons with a long range (e.g. anti proton beam) and if you have it a religious talisman or combat sensors. Maximum weapons range as strategy so the ships with the subverter can't come close enough to fire it. And fighters cannot be targeted by the subverter.
