I'm having lots of fun in my current game that includes the Abbidon and Cue Cappa. Of course, both of these Filthy McNasties like to use Allegiance Subverters - a lot. I've been pasting their fleets frequently, but every so often they get close enough and BAM! Another ship is captured!
I like to use smaller ships throughout the game and it always seems they subvert my few base ships (they only move 3 squares during tatical combat) so easily!
Of course, I can't let my ships fall into enemy hands so I take action. I assemble a task force with a boarding ship and set out to rescue the base ship. It's a big massive sucker full of modified torpedoes and beam weapons. Fortunately there are many ships in the rescue fleet and I pound the ship to it's nearly destroyed - and then re-capture it. I dispatch some repair ships to perform the necessary overhaul and viola! Another save - which isn't so bad - except it happens so often that it gets tiring!
