THAT is your problem. You have only ONE shot with your subverters so you better make them count, or have lots of them in your fleets. Something that you might like to know, subverters get you experience for your ships/fleets VERY slowly, so you should somehow compensate for it. Have you made sure that you have psychic ship/fleet training facilities in all of your systems?

Also, is the subverter more effective when shields are down?


No. I myself is a very dedicated user of subverters and most of the time (at least in my current humans vs AI game) the only weapons that fires before the fight ends are my subverters. I've captured entire dozen-ship fleets of dreadnoughts from the AI like that.

and what do those attack numbers for the subverter mean(40, 30, 20, etc)?


I found that a large mount is much more effective than a normal mount, but a heavy/massive mount has no significant improvement over the large mount.

Or was I stupid enough to fight against a empire with master computers.


Why don't you know? Don't you check out your enemy's designs? If you are really fighting MC ships then try putting a computer virus package in front of every subverter. You can still "convert" MC ships if their MCs are down.

Perhaps I should give a disclaimer here, I've never played against a human with psychic tech before, but I've been using it with huge success against the AI. So don't blame me if you lose your game!
