Re: Crew Insurection question
Master Computers protect against Allegiance Subverters (a Psychic weapon); I don't think they're immune to Crew Insurrection (an intel op).

Re: Crew Insurection question
What happens if you subvert or insurrect a mothballed ship? Is it still mothballed? Is the taking party then stuck with a useless ship and no way to unmothball it?

I'd expect so. A mothballed ship that is teleported by a Spacial Anomaly event stays mothballed.

They'd have to get a shipyard ship to that sector to unmothball it.
I don't know whether it's possible to trade or give away a mothballed ship. Has anybody ever tried that?

Re: Crew Insurection question
I think it is possible to self-destruct if the device is installed.

Re: Crew Insurection question
I ran a couple of simulations, and I discovered that trying a Crew Insurection of a ship stationned at a Homeworld is much harder to get than a ship wandering around. I still wasn't able to capture a mothballed ship (the operatives were always coming up lacking). Is there a bonus applied to counter-intelligence for planets?

Re: Crew Insurection question
Did you try stealing a ship mothballed in empty space (i.e., by a SYS)?

Re: Crew Insurection question
Yup, did try, doesn't seem to work. Also, it seems that you cannot target specifically a mothballed ship with Crew Insurection, unless you have a Partnership treaty with the victim (then you can see the mothballed ship).
So, it seems that mothballing a ship prevents capture via intel projects, whether the ship is on a planet or not.
