[Q]

The changes made in the next patch concerning master computers are important and I changed my mind about eliminating master computer completely from my games.
That the AI uses master computers now is great if the cost of master computers are reduced. Otherwise the construction time of small ships like colonizers increase too much. But this is very easy to modify.
My second change should prevent the doom of psychic races (the master computer makes the allegiance converter completely ineffective): I plan to make the master computer a racial technology and give it only to few (anorganic/mechanoid) races.
