    Question: Will we be able to re-claim the tribble on a character if we discard it at any point? Or is it account-unlock but claimable only once per character?

    if its like any of the other account unlock tribbles, it hsould be re-claimable if you have 0 in your bank/inventory/equipped.

    Finally, a replacement for my next-to-useless Nukara tribble. I just wish that antipro resist applied to space. Could use it in the Undine missions.

    As much as I appreciate the tribble, it means using up another inventory space that I don't have to spare. Winter event is going to completely fill up everything.

    Update to the blog: the Tribble is actually available in the "Items" tab, not "Personnel".

    Cheers,

    I still wonder what causes these probs...
    Could it be outdated hardware?

    Unless this one's different than the other mark-granting tribbles, this is probably only usable by captains.

    No, posters to the forum where we have been posting our notes, specs and ticket numbers show a wide array of hardware being used. It's not outdated systems.

    Well, I got this idea because my computer is about 10 years old and a friend, whose computer is about 1/4 of that age, had no probs accessing the new stuff on Tribble...

    So there's no hint on any specific hardware, like only AMD(ATI) graphics cards or such?

    So, really, there is NO reward for doing your testing for you, and the reward that was supposed to be for testing is just given out to anyone. Thanks. I'll be deleting the test server from my computer now.

    As nice as this is (and it IS nice, thank you very much), but might we hope to some day see the Mol'Rihan Tribble made available on the C-Store? I think all the Rep Tribbles should be made available.

    So, am I getting this right?

    If one of my characters claims this Tribble before it's pulled as a free 'reward', then any other character on that account can claim the ribble no matter when (even after it's pulled as free 'reward').

    And, umm, is it reclaimable for a given character if deleted? Can it be put on a Boff?
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Nice tribble. Will come in handy on the battlefield :D

    One question though, can my boffs use it? I have not claimed the last few because they cannot....

    You have no idea. I was looking forward to a new Mark Tribble and playing some more SoI runs to grind out at least some decent Blue AP Beam Arrays on my Fed and the other parts of the equipment set on my Klingon and Rom characters that I did not pick up the first run through.

    :( I am a sad sad and frustrated player.

    Note: Claiming this Unique (max one per character) item from the C-Store is an account wide unlock, that any of your existing or future Captains can acquire. All players who have claimed this item before November 21, 2013 from the C-Store will be able to claim it on any future characters you create on your account. This Tribble is ?bind on pick-up.?

    In other words, you just need to claim it once before November 21 and it will be a permanent account unlock in the c-store.

    Generally bridge officers can't equip the season test reward tribbles, unless something has changed recently. Also, for those who have asked, if you discard the tribble you should be able to claim another. I can for my mol'rihan and nukara tribbles.

    How about the fleet tribble available for a limited time as well, for those not playing during that time?

    Yeah.....What they just said...... Anyone else getting a sense of deja vu? So, are we going to have crashes of multiple weeks and months on every occaision where something on the shards is going through a "planned" change/maintenance? Someone in the corporate hierarchy needs to think about selling off the most popular MMORPG's to someone that can handle it, proffit as much as possible, and then concentrate on something like "angry birds".
