Probably a solution to AS reign

[Q]

I love the way it is, because the AS is one of the few weapons used by AI empires that can create a real problem for a human players. Especially if combined with computer virus!

However for human players only games just increase the damage resistence of the master computer, decrease the damage and range of the computer virus, decrease the range and damage (= conVersion probability) of the AS and you can create the balance you like without new components or weapons.
