Re: Down side to ship computers
Computer viruses will destroy the computers easily, and cause your ship to be dead in the water.

Re: Down side to ship computers
On the other hand...
having crew quarters (and the rest) allows for your ship to be converted à la Psychic Weapons

Re: Down side to ship computers
So what if you use both crew and computer.
Will you be safe from psychic and virus?
After all, the crew can control the ship if the virus takes out the computer and the computer can control of the ship if the psychic race takes out the crew.
Anyone try this combo?

Re: Down side to ship computers
That does work.
The Psychic converter does nothing and the computer virus destroys the Computer...
So you could in effect destroy the computer first and then use the psychic converter...
It does seem to be a very expensive way of doing things though.

Re: Down side to ship computers
How 'bout a mod that includes an enhancement to computers - virus detection and eradication or something like that. It could be built with levels of virus similar to levels of plague.
Is that do-able???

Re: Down side to ship computers
It's not currently possible as you would need MM to code that ability before items could include it... I have thought about what that would take, because I wanted to add special computers to my mod...
