My first thought, when fighting an AI with Psychic tech, is just to research ship capture and have boarding ships as part of my regular fleets. You can at least recapture the lost ship that way, if you are careful not to destroy it right after it is converted. But for this to work well you must NOT put self-destruct devices in your ships, or boarding defenses. This is fine against the AI which is not bright enough to see the contradiction. But what about a human (or a smartly designed AI) that uses BOTH Converters and Boarding? If you don't put boarding defenses in your ships, they are easily captured. If you DO put boarding defense in your ships they can still be converted and will be tough to recapture. Has anyone ever run up against the strategy? This reminds me of the guy with both shard cannons and PPB that some poor sap was fighting. You can resist one or the other, but not both...
