Sorry, trying to work and browse.
I meant I hope you cannot use the Allegiance Converter to convert a ship with a functioning Master Computer on it.

That's the way it is already (Version 1.35, just ran a confirmation test in the simulator): Allegiance converter can not convert a ship with a fuctional master computer, but if you destroy first the master computer the allegiance computer will convert the ship.
IMO that's the way it should be and remain! I would be terribly frustrated if MM removed this possibilty of the AI to convert ships of human opponents.

The reason I mentioned this is that there was a thread aearlier this month where someone had the Allegience Converter work on ships with intact master computers. The thread is called Bugs.
I agree, the converter should definately not work if the master computer is intact or else there is no defense for it.

Why should allegiance converters work on ships with master computers? There's no life support or crew quarters, therefore no crew, therefore no one to convert. It's a robotic ship.

that is right, it shouldn't convert those ship, but in some cases it did, that was the bug, and that's fixed now.

this is the bugs thread... http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/For...ML/002702.html

I wish the master computer could be changed to only replace the bridge and life support. Somehow I have a hard time figuring out where all my pilots live on my master computer equipped carrier

They sleep in the cockpits. One thousand tons is more than enough mass for a pilot, his bed, life support, a bathroom, a small kitchen, a big-screen TV with surround sound, and a rack for lots of porn DVDs.

If anyone asks about the porn, the pilot uses them to practice his joystick skills.
