    I take it, then, that there's no seperate reward for running specific content, like there was for Season 6 (fleet tribble / anti-tholian doff)?

    Will the story missions be coming on tribble for the test weekend as there not on there yet just romulous and some system stuff, no story missions to go in the mission branches like fed, rom, klin, borg, undine, cardy, as i havent seen anything in there new.
    If you mess with the Romulan stuff long enough you'll find the story. :p

    so far i have been trying this planet out im very impressed and cant wait for this weekend to continue checking it out , with all you have done here i wish earth could be as exciting there is so much more that could be seen ex...starfleet command the hall with all diplomates from all planets paris where the federation presadent is and so on but as for this planet im impressed cryptic can never say they cant do it ....

    this would be cool to see just think being able to move around earth and doing missions there too that would be two great places to spend time think romulans could have embassy on earth in which we would have to visit to do things for marks.

    We should start a betting pool

    What kind of Tribble are we getting this time?

    5 Bars of GPL says it's something Romulan themed, petting it lets you get a couple points an hour for your new Personal Progression and maybe 2% DPS or 2% Dmg Resistance

    We already have a Dilithium Tribble.

    It gives out 5 Dilithium for every hour you are actually in-game.

    I hope it's a crappy reward, I won't be able to play lol jk hope it's good but still won't be able to play.

    Things are not good here in Jersey I miss STO just to have something normal in this chaos.

    I miss my boring routine

    Enjoy Tribble for me and everyone on the east coast who can't play and sitting in a dark cold room slowing losing one's mind :o

    That's a very good point. I know I still have a number of fleet-mates who have been MIA since the storm. will there by any chance be an extended weekend to try to give them a chance to earn the rewards as well?

    They arent posting it because its supposedly going to be different for everyone... DStahl said this in the discussion topic for the blog post on the Omega Reputation. All we know its stuff will be converted, and then locked away until we get to tier V rep.

    Great, I'm looking forward to the rewards: Just two questions:

    1) So the stats of the vesta can be put in a Dev Blog, so people buy Zen, and will go live with season 7. Who wants to bet that the highly necessary balance pass won't make it to holodeck because the devs are to busy with Seaons 7 prepations, and the patch couldn't possibly delayed just because of on ship, and its negative impact on PvP. Well done Cryptic, while it is possible to prematurely set the Vesta stats in stone, and add a little *subject to change notice....

    2) It is impossible to do the same for the dilithium conversion rate of the Borg gear, that we were promised btw. When that is under discussion giving the current numbers is out of the question. Maybe doing so on tuesday when S7 goes live on wednesday will make sure less people have time to convert their stuff.

    What is this mockery??

    Play for one hour on the Tribble Test Server between tomorrow's Tribble patch and Monday, 11/5, at 10am PDT to be eligible. Anywhere on Tribble works, and the reward will be account-wide.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Thank you for the answer Brandon, certainly glad I don't have to spend an hour on each captain :)
    Just took a look at the new content only I can't play any because there seems to be nobody on Tribble. The PvE queue no longer tells you how many players are queuing so it's impossible to know how long you are likely to wait.

    I am not in a fleet on tribble, do you have to be in a fleet to see the reputation system? If not how do you access it, i couldn't see it anywhere.

    Cheers
    Matt

    When you pull up your character window, there is a new tab at the top for reputation. And you don't need to be in a fleet to see the reputation system.

    Yeah I hate the new queue system too. Maybe they don't want to let us see when they TRIBBLE up the queues like they have done in the past. Instead people will be blindly queuing until its fixed.... :rolleyes:

    As for the rep system, when on tribble press U to get to the toon screen and the rep system is under a tab at the top of the window :D

    Logged in only for a bit, but the game, in my opinion, cosmetically looks better. I cannot speak at all about the functionality of most of it as tribble was dead (only 3 people TOTAL on DS9).

    Is there a feedback link? The queue times/# of characters would be nice.

    But so far I think things are looking rather well.

    Hmm a unknown reward let me guess
    a doff (Nah to useful)
    A romulan/reman tribble (Nah to generic)
    A lobi crystal (Sounds more likely)
    A thank you from Cryptic/PWE (this is the reward)
    NO TO ARC

    So, I am kind of worried the test weekend has come this early and feel it might be a tad premature on Cryptic's part. Here are just a few of the questions I have:
    • Will we see a big update to tribble today addressing the issues people have posted since S7 content started showing up?
    • Will we be testing the devs. most recent iterations of things or will we just be testing what many have already tested?
    • Will there be any other content to hit tribble before the test weekend (e.g. into the Hive Space)?
    • Is there any other content to be released with S7 that we have not seen yet?

    If the answer is no to many of these, then yes I would say the test weekend is a tad premature. Especially since the roll-out to live soon follows. I would hate to have a completely buggy and untuned update just before the holiday season.

    My PRedator Love her or leave her.. In truest Romulan Tradition..
    I am going to look out for number one and avoid the Tal Shair Draft i don't think it will take that long to build a niche in the new frontier..
    its just a matter of improving on the existing Paradigm
    We need the options to jazz up the Wearing of the Romulan Green..
    over 7000 CSR poll people Voted Romulan as the next playable faction years ago.. and
    nothing happen..
    The simple fact is STarFleet Command was Based on Star Fleet Battles had many empires and a conquest system for those that liked to fleet and fight other fleets o na Star League Ladder.

    We here have had the nice single Captain options and backdrops.. but no persistent outcome based reasons to fight anyone. So Exploration and discovering new Frontiers was never in place to fill gaps of FE and change of ownership.

    The improved features developed on the Cryptic engine for other MMOs are starting to return to Champions and STO and deliver bigger environments and interaction.

    We want to see real changes and development in playable options for Romulans. This is the Prime universe with alterations.. a MMO of Empires not just a single Adventures in a D&D setting that occasionally parties up.. We're Captain and Admiral in a Big Empire and Fleets upon Fleets.. That system has never been done well here like the map of StarFleet Battles General Wars with clear massive empire Provinces with political boundaries and Fleet and House areas clearly marked on a map..
    The Klingon Empire Houses Controlled Star Systems and Feudal Territory.. Giving people a reason to be Klingon based on Tradition.. having the staff and ability to flesh out factions. .to create more traffic and interest.. is vital to longevity here.

    Romulan Tribble resulting in one Romulan Mark per hour or something similar to the way the Fleet Tribble worked. You heard it here.
