Possible Rare Ship Compromise

Here's an idea: put the bugship and Galor on Tribble as testable ships that you can pick up like any other C-Store ship to try before buying.

This way, everybody can enjoy the chance to fly one of these ships and since it's not on the Live server, the issue of everybody and their brother flying one of these "ultra-rare" ships would (theoretically anyway) not be an issue.

    On one hand, this is bad. First, tribble is supposed to be for beta testing and game balancing; not for trials and not for fun. Second, even if it isn't the primary server it is still a public server for all intents and purposes and theoretically (however unlikely) if everyone joined tribble they could effectively turn tribble into holodeck.

    On the other hand, this would give an extra incentive to being a gold or lifetime member as silver players can't access tribble to my knowledge.

    Personally I felt that Tribble would have been the perfect environment for Cryptic to give the $250 (on average) ships to friends and "press". They could have tested there to their hearts content and formed their own opinions. Unfortunately Cryptic did not agree.

    Taking the plunge into a debt hole that is $250 deep on average, but with no actual floor is a bit much. It would be nice to have some sort of testing mechanic.
