Default Re: Mutiny bug?

Just FYI, the Computer Virus weapon used in combat doesn't capture the ship. Instead, it damages any Master Computer components onboard the enemy just like the engine-destroying weapons go straight for those components. If the MC is destroyed and there are no regular control components (bridge and/or auxillery control) present, the ship's speed is cut to 1. It also opens the door for Telepathic takeover and so forth. I'm not sure of the effects on Boarding Party take-overs, if any.

I think this doesn't mean that another form of virus couldn't be taking over MC-based ships during Intel Ops. In fact, I can't see any real arguement against it, save for the name of the Intel Op in question.
