Yeah, that's the ally bug alright. I have been trying to track that down for two weeks. But, the allys play fine for about 4 times out of 5 in my tests... so who the heck knows what it doesn't like? Unfortunately, I have no way of guessing what I can do to fix it or even recreate the problem consistently.

The Torc of babulon is not necessary - it just grants hypervision. Both Mr. Bester and the Neutrino Array give that ability.

The Hyperdrive has been replaced by the Jump Point Generator, which is quest item. If you don't want it quested, you can turn off the "nogen" flag in the item file.
