I like the idea of modifying the Experience Ratings for MC's. Up or down, I'm not really sure; maybe down. 'Cause right now, there's no incentive to keep using Bridge / CQ's/ Life support except on the smallest ships. Maybe letting live crews reach 100% and only letting MC's go up to 25%.

Another point is well taken about the use of Crew Insur against a ship with a MC. How would they do that other than with an advanced Computer Combat tech? (at least IMO). I think that advanced CC would add a nice variable to ship design. It could be a significant decision (to MC or not to MC) when designing ships if the variables are right....
