Probably a solution to AS reign

Yeah, I used to do that, it's really easy on tactical, and oh so cheezy. On strategic, the AI puts telekinetic projectors on first, so you always get a damaged first, subverted next ship.

I do like the ship experience provideing defence against the subverter.

OK here's an idea for a counter. A psychic only weapon that can attack and destroy the allegiance Subverter. That will make the cascade less viscous.

Why psychic only? Because I don't believe every weapon should have a counter. IMHO, if everything had a counter, the game becomes dull. Once you know the tech tree, whoever has the most planets with research and resources wins, with no hope for the little guy to launch a snipe attack.

Besides, I'm sick of seeing the Abbidon in CueCappa ships -- it's just irritating.
