Because ...there isn't any?

Its working correctly.

Mabbe it's working correctly NOW (1.41) - when the bug has been fixed.

Several of my MC have been subverted from time to time - I have NEVER seen the opposite, except for when I put a Self Destruct device onboard. The alligience subverter doesn't seem to work against Self Destruct devices (or maybe the AI just doesn't fire the AS at ships with SD devices?)

The computer will and can use the Allegiance Subverter on ships with Self-Destruct devices. It happened to me earlier today - I had added self-destructs to most of my fleet thinking that those Abbidon punks would get a nasty suprise. They did not. It seems that the self-destruct does not work against the subverter.

That they can....I lost 2 carriers and a SYS to a computer Phychic race. They both has MC on them and never got hit with any other weapon.

That's really strange!
I repeately tested it in the combat simulator and was never able to convert a ship with intact master computer.

Well, I think that since your crew members are mind-controlled by the enemy (or brainwashed or whatever) they won't voluntarily self-destruct their own ship...

I'm not sure how it works now, but why should an 'AS' work on a ship with a MC at all. Destroying a MC would not suddenly conjure up a crew that could then be subverted. MC's are expensive, and why should any ship mounted weapon have an automatic shot at destroying the largest vessel. In fact, it is worse than destroying it since it joins the AS's side.
