Default Crew Snafu

"For some unknown reason our experienced crew of the ship 011 Gunnery CA 1 has been reassigned. We suspect the Cue Cappa Commonwealth of this unthinkable act."

Okay... but how exactly did a master computer get reassigned off a ship in the middle of nowhere???

CW
PS. 11 days have passed sinced I placed the order, but my copy of the game is still not here...

That was an intelligence project. They rotated your crew which sets the experience level back to zero anyhwere in the galaxy no matter what.

(i.e. Captain Janeway we have received a transfer order from startfleet command. It appears the whole crew has been assigned their own greenhorn crew. And they came up with this magical transporter system that can get us to all our respective ships right now.) It doesn't seem to make sense but that's the way it works. I hope I answered the correct problem.

Be patient, sometimes it takes longer depending on where you live or they are just not on the ball lately.

I was saying that this ship doesn't have a crew... As for the master computer somebody got to get up there and un-plug/un-screw/un-done that bugger first before they can transfer it to who-knows-where! And that thing is 20kT in size you know...

maybe you could consider that it maybe had its memory erased along with all the experience that came with it.

That sorta make sense, but if it was me who did it I would have deleted the whole OS or what-ever-you-call-it and leave the ship dead in the water... err... empty space.

Yeah, both Crew Snafu and Crew Insurrection should be unable to affect Master Computers or at least the effects should be changed. Definitely something to let MM know about. Maybe there ought to be special intel operations for affecting MCs. It's doable, of course, but the methods would be completely different. Having seperate intel operations would reflect this.
