New Patch!!

[Q]

Has anyone figured out what "Version 1.37: Fixed - Allegiance Converters should not work against ships with Master Computers."
did?
I tested it and you still can convert a ship after you destroyed the master computer (thanks the gods!!). And in my experience even in the old Versions you could not convert a ship with an intact master computer.
Do I miss something??

I always took it to be fixing the problem when an Alleigence Converter worked against a functioning Master Computer.
I am confused over this too but if in the end it doesn't work if there a functioning Master Computer then I'm happy because that was the only defense against it.

I don't think it ever did.

Then what did they fix?

all ships, regardless of their individual minister setting.

Hmm. I tried that, and ships happily run out of fuel and then just sit there. At least that's what is happening in sim turns games. Can anyone confirm that?

Thanks -- Aub

According to my experience Alligience SUBVERTERS have always been able to convert master computers.

ITs supposed to be; if the target vessel has a master computer you cannot convert the crew.. once the target vessels MC is destroyed - you can. Thats why having the computer virus tech is nice when your a psychic race.

Its working correctly.

Mabbe it's working correctly NOW (1.41) - when the bug has been fixed.

Several of my MC have been subverted from time to time - I have NEVER seen the opposite, except for when I put a Self Destruct device onboard. The alligience subverter doesn't seem to work against Self Destruct devices (or maybe the AI just doesn't fire the AS at ships with SD devices?)

The computer will and can use the Allegiance Subverter on ships with Self-Destruct devices. It happened to me earlier today - I had added self-destructs to most of my fleet thinking that those Abbidon punks would get a nasty suprise. They did not. It seems that the self-destruct does not work against the subverter.

That they can....I lost 2 carriers and a SYS to a computer Phychic race. They both has MC on them and never got hit with any other weapon.
