Re: Computer combat Q
I used the Subverter and Computer Virus in a GOLD PBW game. The results were not were not impressive.
The CV just stops the ships movement, but you have to get close to use it. The ship can still shoot even if it can't move. If the ship has the typical APB12 max range beam weapon, well it is still deadly, and your too close.
The CV may have some tactical applications, but for large fleets the hull space is better used for some more APB12s.
My game suffered partly because they changed the rules (revision upgrade) and killed the subverters advantage. It also suffrered because the racial points and research points are better used elsewhere.
I think that at one time, when the ship lost movement points (Br, ls, cq) it also lost some ability with weapons and shields. Maybe an earlier revision? Maybe SE3?
