Alligence Subverter bug

Hmmm.

I'll start a new game and mess with it again.

Perhaps I somehow managed to smoke some of the same crackrock Darl McBride's on.

I'll go check...

A Master Computer will be defeated by a Subverted Crew automatically.

A MC protects the ship indefinitely, even after it has been destroyed. It does not matter if the ship also has any Crew Quarters.

And a Bridge? or just Crew?

ie, if it has a Bridge and a MC, would the MC still render the AC useless?

Yes. In 1.84, a design with a Master Computer on it will (AFAIK) never fall to an allegiance subverter, even if the MC is destroyed.

For puproses of the subVersion attempt, it doesn't matter what other components are on it.

Adding bridge/crew/life-support to a design with MC will help against the other side-effects of having the MC broken, however (i.e. movement penalties for lack of control systems).
