Default Re: virus question

"Will a self-destruct mechanism protect me? "

No.

"What if I put an auxiliary bridge on my ship? Will the enemy then have to overcome my computer AND use marines to take over the ship?"

Yes. The virus doesn't take over at all. Adding control componets will let you keep movement. (for full speed you need a bridge, life support and crew quarters)

"I read somewhere that a computer virus does not take over a ship -- it just reduces it's movement t 1. Is that correct?? If so, then are viruses useless against starbases?"

Yes, and yes.
