Does anyone know exactly what the effect is of losing all the control spaces on a ship? Fer instance, if I have a ship with an MC, and it gets bLasted, what effect does that have on the ship?

thanks,

I did the whole skip into the future with the first game I played because I wanted to see the techs....the weapon used was a telekentic burst thing I beleive and the only way for ME to outrange it is to develope WMGs which I will do I suppose as soon as I can figure out my immediate security problems.


"Actually using the Master Computer *will* gain space for Cruisers and above, as if you have Master Computers, you don't need to put Bridges/Life Supports/Crew Quarters. So even with Computers I (which gives a 40kt Master Computer), you will gain 10kt on your Battle Cruisers. However, if you are afraid of Computer Viruses, you may put one Bridge/Life Support/Crew Quarter plus the Computer so that you will not lose all movement when the Computer goes down."

That's what I usually do when I put comps on my BBs and bigger ships because I am not willing to risk my whole ship on maybe one lucky shot taking down the comp or some schmo with a virus disabling my fleet . But right now 10kt isn't worth the time and expense of refitting my fleet (especially because thus far anytime I try to retrofit my 2nd fleet which is bordering Cue space I've been attacked and had to rely on Last minute completion of a few of the upgrades on usually half of the actual fleet to defend myself). Problem is I lost 1 ship with 1 left in spacedock for repairs and only 4 combat ready ships on line so I can't risk pausing until the other 4 BCs come on-line after their retrofit and repairs.
