What about Bases??? Shouldn't they be vulnerable, too? And maybe even fighters???

EDIT: Well, maybe not fighters. How would you board a fighter???

3. Fixed - "Crew ConVersion" damage type will fail against a ship with a Master Computer (regardless if that component is damaged or not).
I agree this needed done, but now there is now counter or disadvantage for using the MC (other than the high cost, which can be overcome...). Perhaps if the MC did NOT gain from experience? Then it would be a good counter for the AS, but would be inferior to vessels with a normal weapon load...

Or perhaps a MC equiped vessel would have a lower max experience level. For example, if you can train crews to do something (Ship/Fleet training facilities, default max 20%), surely you can program your MC with the same training. However, from 20% to 50% is just experience learned in the field, and perhaps the MC wouldn't be able to expand it's own programming....

7. Fixed - Organic Armor was pre-regenerating itself before damage occurred in combat.

. . .

5. Fixed - Ships with regnerating armor will regnerate all of their armor at the end of combat.
This I like. One question, though: Will a ship with no undamaged OA still repair it all after combat?

This also has one downside. In turn based games, my OA equiped ships enter combat against yours, kill a few ships, then combat ends and all damaged armor regens. Then my fleet expends another movement point to enter combat again. Your ships are still partially damaged (unless you have OA too! ), whilst mine have had some free repair done in the space of a few days....

3. Fixed - The result of a Communication interception intelligence project will be displayed with arrows in the log window.
Huh?

6. Fixed - During a Deconstruct & Analyze, you would sometimes receive duplicate techs if a component and the vehicle size were new to you.
This also is excellent, and needed to be done.
