Master Computer bug?

Hey is there a bug with the MC? I'm currently in a game and it's a full tech start. I started pretty close to an empire and they have Psychic tech, and they attacked me and I lost my ship (Dread) to their Subverter even though I had MC on my ship. What's up with that... Isn't MC supposed to stop the Subverter, or at least the des. of the Subverter says so. Just thought I'd bring this out. Thanks for any help.

You didn't happen to put a bridge or such on their too did you?

Otherwise- probably a computer virus hit first.

Yes I don't think you found a bug but that first the master computer was destroyed either specifically by a computer virus or by chance by any other weapon. After the master computer is destroyed the ship becomes vulnerable to the allegiance subverter.

Q is right. Computer virus and then AS.

Q is right that is probably what happened, but I think I would call that a bug nonetheless. The fact that the computer is destroyed shouldn't make the ship subvertable. I know it does, but it shouldn't.

Well, may be there are some people onboard even if it is run by MC. Engeneres, scientists, mechanics, janitors, space tourists... They just do not have an access to master keybord or something. After all, is MC ship has just an electric circuitery and no place for crew, how boarding parties can take over such ship ?
