Re: Computer Combat ?
OK, newbie question time : does a Master Computer prevent capture via Boarding Parties ? I've done a partial scan of the FAQ and I think it doesn't.

Unfortunately, no it doesn't. I'll make this clearer in the next update.

Re: Computer Combat ?
No, MCs have no boarding defense ability.
The troopers will just unplug your MC and reprogram it.

Re: Computer Combat ?
Nope.
Those "master" computers have OS on floppy disks (?), so succesful boardin will take ship just the same as one using crew quaters.
A better source than FAQ for SEIV info can be found here.
-edit-
Gah !
Just 2 mins too late

The term you may be looking for is floppy diskettes. It goes Hard Disks, Floppy Diskettes, Compact Discs. |

Re: Computer Combat ?
Actually, floppy disk is a perfectly legitimate term. Most people do not talk about diskettes, but disks.

No more powerful than the Talisman, is it? [quote]The Talisman is way too powerful. Unfortunately, I do not see any fix for it coming any time soon. |

You're Right and it is and they don't, but he popped that (?) in there so I gave him all the data I could

There is a fix: "ya got to have faith, a-faith, a-faith. Baaaby...".
Play it yourself or don't play with it at all?
But seriously, what kind of fix would you recommend? Is making it cost more enough? Is making it less effective enough? What about making the ship easier to hit?

The three-and-a-half were floppy too, but you had to break them open to see it.
Before the five-and-a-quarter where the eight-inch diskettes. I have a large number of them I picked up at a surplus store. I have made a mural on my wall of them. |
