Re: allegiance subverter and computer virus questions
AFAIK, talisman does not affect PD fire. It says "direct fire weapons," and PD are technically, well, Point-Defense weapons. The game seems to treat them separately.

Re: allegiance subverter and computer virus questions
Long time no see guys. I haven't played SEIV for a while. Does the latest Version still stack weapons? ie. if you have 2 viruses and 2 subverters on a ship the computer would always fire off all viruses first in strategic combat, making multiple viruses on a ship a mere waste of space. Is it fixed?

Multiplex targeting is still difficult to do. I generally do not depend on it. It does seem to work best when there is a change of weapon types, ie: only X, depleters, DF, missiles.
I did experiment with SAT stacks (may apply to WP stacks too). SATs are individually targeting but a SAT stack retargets only when the next SAT has a different weapon. By giving designs many design names and controlling deployment order a Layer Cake firing order can be achived that will not waste the Virus and Subverters.
SAT Layer Cake: Virus satV1, Subverters satS1, Virus satV2, Subverters satS2, etc... (brain SAT gives bonus to all sats)
I don't know if this can be applied to ships. I generally build smaller ships and limit the number of Only X weapons each one carries.
