Uhm, no. Combuter viruses are direct-fire beam weapons.

The Organic seeker spores are probably what you're thinking of.

By the looks of it though... CV wont help at all in the next patch.

That's right. My bad. I was thinking of the Organic spores. I'm out of it today.

Also, make sure you've got the economy to support your new uber-fleet. If not, start scrapping ships pronto or maybe capture a few enemy mining colonies...

Those results illustrate the unbalanced nature of the AS, esp. combined with Talismans.

Yeah I just noticed that...my profits have dropped from >500K/turn to -100K/turn. That's alright, I have resource converters to hold me over until I make my assault on the neighboring system (which should be inside 10 turns).

As for the imbalance of AS with RT: yeah, it is a little too easy. Maybe if the chance to convert was dropped (severely), things would be a little more balanced. From a greedy perspective, I can't complain, but from the perspective of someone who likes a challenge, it is definitely a problem.

A lot of this has to do with the AI being too stupid to use Master Computers
