B-8's are an AWESOME solution to lots of KBQ's if you're unwilling to tech up to the big yard and T-15's.

  If you know your micro well you can easily capture even Klingon vessels like KBQ's with a handful of B-8's.  Focus fire on a kbq, as soon as it's shields are down (which won't take long as Klingons have weak shields), place your cursor over the kbq and hit T!

  Then select another target, rinse, and repeat!

b8 is capped at 6

if u leave it on full special weapons auto they should capture any ship that loses shields lol. sometimes this is a bit hard to rely on.

u can use transporter attack as well, that will do auto beam.

Don't know if it is a feature or a bug: Today a AI controlled B8 beamed over to my cloaked veteran kvort. No other ship fired upon my cloaked fleet, though.
And I tried getting B8 and T15 out: With dominion I'm faster in producing those than with klingon producing a reasonable amount of Brels/Kvorts.
Thanks for the answers!

You sure you weren't detected nor in the process of cloaking when boarded ?

Japp. Otherwise they would've fired on all the other ships as well. The B8 only transported on my vet-Kvort.
I can't give 100% on that, but I found it strange.

Perhaps cloaking (=no shields) triggers the special weapon "Assault Transport"?

That ability can only be used on what they know is there. It would only activate if they were in range when cloaking.

I've seen this as well ever once in a while while Playing the Breen avitar vs. KLINGON  with my B8's  attacking in mass. Ive even seen it  a couple of times on  Romulan cloaked stations. I manually cued the B-8's to attack a  singularity generator and got a torpedo turret and Shrike as well in the process. I thought this might be a fluke since the comp. ive got is a fossil  and the  cpu just  forgot  what  /and where everything was . Since  it is  only a 100 mhz buss and a  1ghz professor and a Very old and tired  10 year old  vidcard.

Fact is, it has activated. And my fleet cloaked long enough before moving into their base, where the B8 autotransporter began. I don't think it has to do with the computer. I have a Quad@2,6 as well as 4GB of DDR3. Should be sufficient. Maybe the range for transporter is greater than vision range?

On the match against the friend of mine: I won twice with puretech. I didn't build the B8 because I thought it is bugged ...

T15 is best counter for Dominion. But you can also use bombers since they are vs short range and can take out structures easily. The only thing you should not rely on are Bugs...

I don't know, you can keep klingons from expanding with bugs as they are just soooo fast and kvorts can't keep up with them. Meanwhile, you get bombers, and then end their pitiful existence!

rely was the keyword...dont trust on them since they die too fast...you can mix them in of course to provide quick raids.
