Tactical Maneuvers 4.3.3 brings the Dominion faction close to completion with the ability to call in entire fleets from the Gamma Quadrant using its special station, the newly renamed Hyperspace Communications Center. As this requires a large Supply investment, the faction finally has a use for massive amounts of excess Supply.
Tactical Maneuvers V4.3.3 Patch Notes
This version completes the Dominion Experimental Yard rework. The Experimental Yard
now functions similarly to the Construction Yard: it begins with the ability to build
Dreadnoughts (the Dominion Experimental unit) and can be upgraded to Level 2 and 3 in
order to build Bombers, Escorts, Interceptors, and Warfrigates with other faction tech.
Regular yards also gain the ability to build Mixed Tech variants once they are available.
Since the Experimental Yard is limited to smaller ships, the larger MT variants can only
be built from the Large Construction Yard alongside their regular versions.
New ship variant: B-5 Battlecruiser with Klingon tech
-gains Manual Targeting passive
