    Does Ang come with airbending, waterbending, earthbending and firebending skills too? Or is this the pre-Avatar "Aang" that only comes with airbending? ;)

    I hear he makes a mean snowcone

    well One: every person in said fleet would have to do a tribble test server. Two: said fleet would need to remember to rub the tribble each hour, on the hour every hour. Three: said fleet members would want to donate if they wish.

    You forgot that the cool-down is probably like the dilithium one... only countdown-ing while you are on the ground. So unless fleet members are just gonna AFK at SFA all day, the "once per hour" is misleading.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    So once Again you missed the Boat how shocked am i to read about this test weekend.

    How can it be that after 2.whatever years of testing you are still giving tribbles out i have them all and then some 99% all earnt on tribble but as far as i was aware most of the main testers were fed up of tribbles and wanted something else.

    you know if you make it worth peoples while you will get more testers like say 5 lock box keys

    its just a thought

    Actually, the majority of players seem happy to get a tribble (and a PURPLE DOFF) for doing this testing. I'm also one of them. Dry your eyes!

    Since the name of the server you are testing on is Tribble its quite fitting that the reward is a tribble. Quit whining, since they dont have to give you anything.

    I love this. A free tribble and a purple resolve doff? AWESOME!

    Actually, I would have been happy with just ONE of those.

    They ARE getting something else. >>sigh<< Some people are never happy. If you don't like the rewards, don't waste your time testing.

    With the doff mentioning it doesn't affect player ships, my assumption is that a Tholian ship is the next lockbox ship.

    Asmuch as that would be awesome (those claw looking ships would be awesome to have), its probably just a general clause to cover their butts incase someone thought it would affect damage toward players.

    Uh did anyone think through that buff on the tribble that says '+1 fleet mark. once per hour'?
    I really hope that doesn't mean that it generates one every hour. Because if you have a fleet of 500 people thats essentially 500 marks an hour a fleet would be making for doing nothing. That would throw things out of wack pretty fast

    yea if they all had one and sat clicking it every hour but u get loads of marks from playing and faster than an hour.

    And of course, they pick the one weekend when I'm away from home this month. Oh well, have fun all. Hope someone throws the Tholian mission up on youtube. I'd like to see those critters in action.

    I love Tribbles. The more the merrier, and with each one I become that much closer to making my bank look like a certain infamous TOS episode. :D And I'm always happy to accept unique DOffs into my crew.

    Also, REALLY excited that we'll see Tholian ground mobs in this build. I was afraid that we were just getting a "sneak peek" of S7 with ONLY their ships in the Fleet events. This is cool. :cool:

    They already gave those out. It was shortly after the season went live on holodeck. Maybe you did not qualify for some reason.

    What's this? Another tribble for the collection? AND a duty officer to boot?

    Half the reason I have so many Boffs is to hold tribbles. :D

    I'm wondering this too. Usually, patches seem to come at about 7 PM here, but I'd expect to see the patch notes - or some indication that the server is going down - much sooner.
