GLOMMERS?!? Yes please!

I just got the feddie starbase featured project done and met mister Jones. I notice he actually mentions Glommers.

I know he mentions that Glommers went extinct, but at one point so were Tribbles. A new colony of Glommers could easily be found and bred by a Klingon.

So, dear devs, with Glommers seemingly having no issue in getting a mention will you be able to make them the Klinkside equivalent of Tribbles? Perhaps with Glommer breeding working by eating certain types of Tribbles?

i think the next project should be orion slave girls for kdf and dabo girls for fed bases..

put them in the bar area..

If I remember correctly the "Glommer" was a geneticly engineered creature, they could just make another one.

Indeed, they were from the animated series. Klingons genetically created them / bred them to hunt down and eat Tribbles.

Normally I'd say this would just be a bit too goofy (beyond Mugato goofy) for the game BUT considering the KDF still can't access the vast majority of Tribbles for buffing themselves & Targs were never made their self-buffing pet, a Glommer would be the perfect KDF counter part to Fed Tribbles when it comes to self buffs.

Interesting, I thought they couldn't get Glommers in STO due to the oddity with TAS licensing and thats why we got Cannibal Tribbles in it's place.

But if they are mentioned, wonder if CBS is finally ironing out the situation. That or Cryptic snuck one under CBS's nose?

Yeah, thought the same thing too. It was genetically engineered to be a Tribble Predator and they gave up after it failed in doing it's job in cleaning up Koloth's ship.

(Makes me miss the early days with the SUPERSIZED Tribbles we had back in Year 1. )

According the Memory Alpha, there apparently was a colony of Glommers on the Tribble Homeworld. Guess they died out when the Tribbles went extinct.

I'll bet that Soong dude in the Fed prison, probably already created an updated version of the Glommer when he was fiddling with his DNA experiments.

While it would be cool to have Glommers I have mixed feelings considering Glommers eat Tribbles and well ... we already have Cannibal Tribbles ... And you see ... It's hard enough as it is to keep them under control and saving those poor Tribbles.

I'll bet the original Tribbles were created by the Iconians...

Probably as a way to TRIBBLE up the eco-systems of their enemies.
