    The economy of Tribble is separate from Holodeck. It would give you a unfair advantage as a player to be able to earn Dilithium on Tribble to be able to sell via the Exchange on Holodeck for C-Points. Tribble is a testing ground with the variables tweaked. There are times when you can earn thing on Tribble faster than on Holodeck. Trust me it is working as intended by Cryptic and PW.

    The Dilithium exchange is not meant to work on Tribble - it will TRIBBLE the economy on Holodeck and the C-Store.

    For example;

    I have a character with 100,000 Dilithium on Holodeck.
    1. Transfer Character to Tribble
    2. Trade 100,000 dilithium for C-Store Points
    3. Delete Character from Tribble
    4. .... start again at step 1.

    This would provide an endless supply of Dilithium to trade for C-Store Points.

    So?
    It's a TEST server.
    How are we supposed to TEST stuff if we can't buy said stuff?
    Which brings up another interesting question: Why wasn't the last 3 new ships (3 at least) available for testing or even to BUY from the Cash-Store on Tribble so that we could actually, I don't know, maybe TEST them on the TEST server?

    none of the 3 previous ships were really anything new in terms of overall gameplay. The oddy was - as it was a common hull with different flavours (and thus was made available for testing on tribble at the console in the shipyard)

    the test server is there to test new functionality - not really to test builds etc (although that can be a nice side effect). dilithium exchange works already - no need to continue to test the functionality until they change something fundamental in its operation.

    You cant tranfser anything from the Testserver to the life as it would ne fair. On tribble the Oddys costs 0 while on live you have to pay 2500 Zen per ship or 5000 For the Pack. you can only transfer chars from live to tribble not vice versa.
