You're not saying that you can't use both an MC and B/LS/CQ on the same ship surely?

No, I was saying that the Master Computer does remove the need to put B/LS/CQ components, but you can put such components if you wish. The only benefit of putting a set of B/LS/CQ would be to protect you from these Computer Viruses, if you have a "friend" using these weapons.

And if you have the MC ability built into the hull, you will still be forced to add B/LS/CQ or a full MC component. (Same as normal)

However, those components you were forced to add won't generate penalties when they are destroyed.
Plus, no matter what's left on/of your ship, it will be immune to subverters.

If they are going to have subVersion type devices that affect alligence then that mentioned situation should be looked at for SE5 - the only thing i can think of is a racial point type thing like religion, ancient race etc - one that is immune to the alliagnce subverter device (any ideas welcomed)

mmm... There could be a trait called "Red Neck", which would give you total protection against any device which would alter your thoughts about anything .

Actually mechanoids link would be good - ie mechanical race (greater productivity and research capabilities - immune to plagues - perhaps offset EMP bombs that would act as plague bombs) which would be immune though to psychic weapons ?

Id like to see new types of racial types introduced into SE5 - apparently it enters beta testing soon so lets see if they also bring a demo out soon ?
