Allegiance Subverters - annoying or what?

Yeah, only one shot. I entered into combat with my three ships, 2 old model cruisers and on top of the line battlecruiser (the only things defending that system which was highly inaccessable due to damaging warp point) whent into combat with one ship.
They took my battlecruiser and used it to destroy my cruisers. After combat they had two ships in a defenseless system. (not even a weapons platform or satelite) so what do they do? They leave. Hmmm.... that makes sense.

ATTENTION: Allegiance Subverters NOW work against Master Computers in patch 1.41! It is under the "Fixed" catagory, personally I always thought this was a feature. With out even considering the new game balance issues, what do you guys think about this? Personally, I'm not sure this was something I wanted "fixed"!

I thought they fixed it the other way so it would not work against a functioning master computer. I must be more dislexic than I thought.

Quoted from History.txt:
"5. Fixed - Allegiance Converters should not work against ships with Master Computers."

I wonder what a Allegiance "converter" is.

Trachmyr,

Allegiance Subverter has always worked against computers. Which really annoyed me personally.

But I guess that has been fixed - unless there really is a component called allegience "Converter".

Are they trying to say that alliance subverter should not work against computers?
Sorry but my english is too weak (even compared to the AI).

wow! someone must be psychic (not sure if that is a pun or not

but I was about to post a question to the forum asking what the "counter" to the allegiance subverter was...it's sounds like the master computer is. Would that be a correct assumption?? many thanks!

I think that's what they're TRYING to say.

It's not your english, dude. It's their lack of abillity to use the same term twice.

Allegience "Converter" - bah!
