Well, I'm not sj, but here are a few quick ideas off the top of my head...

Maybe just slap a -10% attack/defense penalty on master computers (explain it away by saying the computer is slower to react and less tactically adept that human counterparts). Kind of a quick and dirty solution, and I say this assuming the -10 penalty would stack with other attack/defense components on the ship (seems like they would, but I don't know). You could also jack up the tonnage of basic master computers, but that would make the Hal computers less special, and basically just extend the master computer component tree. Giving HAL att/def bonuses would also work, but IMO not quite as well. You could also make Hal equivilent to a 60 odd person security station, since he has already proven his ability to use ship systems to cause human fatalities
