I read the blog with details about the rewards to be given to the tribble testers. For some reason I felt a bit disappointed. Im not trying to be greedy or anything, just feels like its not that much or probably more importantly not as cool. Some of us have spent weeks playing tribble, brought a character all the way up to VA. Then we ported over a different character and tested with them as well. It was a lot of time spent to make this as good as possible for F2P.
So what I was thinking is for the people that did start a new character and leveled them up to VA. That have spent X amount of hours (X determined by cryptic), and have ported over a different character and tested the conversion stuff Entertain this idea
Leave the rewards as posted in the blog, but give the player this choice (if meets the above criteria)
1. A very special uber dooper cool item. Perhaps a uniform or skin item for your ship, so that it is easily visible by others that you did the DEED. Or like a holigraphic probe or special fireworks display that says I made F2P awesome. Something that only the testers can have and no one else. A cloak (to wear not for the ship) for FEDS or Battle Armor for Klinks. Whatever it is it should be really really cool
or option
2. Let us transfer all of our items that we have obtained on tribble to holodeck. All the data samples, dilithium, energy credits, drops, borg salvage, and so forth. Then it wont feel like it was all for nothing.
For those of us who have made some of these rewards and are getting so ****ed at Cryptic for ruining this great game...give us something uber supe coolio to prevent us from canceling our subscription to save money and just waiting for f2p to go live.

IMHO .. I'd be tickeled to be listened to. Even if it wer just for a few minutes... maybe one suggestion or so ... IMHO the task of testing and reviewing comes with all sorts of benefits. Yeah, I know ... and I appreciate Cryptic LISTENING to the mounds of threads (of which are often somewhat less than positive) ..
sooo I guess what I'm trying to say in my own way is that anything they do is really nice .. but the priority is getting the job done ! There is a real challange ahead of us. IF this is going to happen in a positive way then it is going to take a lot more of what we are doing TOGEATHER !
( I hope this is taken in the way I'm trying to present it )
I'll be honest, I would love to see further testing rewards since this is a long-term testing. Compared to others who just did the original goals of getting Tier 3 and 2 characters to Level 51.
Be nice as part of a thank you, that we could keep our unspent C-store points. Or at least keep the C-store point bonus for buying C-store points.
And we should get a third reward title, like those Gozer chosen to test the STFs on Day 1. After all we are doing more testing than those guys ever did with the STFs.

I wish I could have been a part of it earlier on... Finally got my e-net stuff up and going. Still dont have a new house yet .. and my web site is stil messed up .. BUT at least I can mess around with STO.
I'd actually like to port the character I levelled up from scratch to VA back to holodeck - I don't need her gear, dilithium etc. but I'd like to keep her Doffs, ship and Bridge Officers...
Transferring anything from Tribble to Holodeck isn't going to happen. No game I've ever tested has ever let you copy a test character to the live server due to potential incompatibilities between the two servers.
