It would make sense, since it'd allow them to capture ships (relatively) intact without worrying about them using Self-Destruct. Then again, sticking Master Computers on is an easy counter to Alliegance Subverters.
Possible idea for new component (this ties in to my idea about a new racial trait, Machine Cultures): A way to subvert Master Computers. Of course, this would require hard-code changes to implement, since the current Abilities won't permit "Crew ConVersion" on a ship w/ Master Computers. A counter for this could be an Anti-Viral program running on the MC, that also protects against Computer Virus.
