Which tribble really work when activated for boffs?

I just tried a damage tribble( Harrington) on Tovan and seemed not to get the damage benefit and have read of the idic tribble benefits not working properly - is there a list of tribbles that are confirmed working with boffs?

    I've never not seen the appropriate buff icons appear under the boff's portrait when they use a tribble.

    Me neither.

    I gave a cannibal tribble to my Klingon once...little red numbers appeared but none of his stats were altered. Kinda funny watching him flinch, though.

    In my case they work perfectly. Every time one of my boffs uses a tribble, i see the icon beside him. But i only use normal tribbles, not damage ones.

    I also dont recall them not using a free tribble buff. I dont have a ton of Harringtons, though. Those are mainly for my toon (i.e. each of my toons runs a Harrington). Just never made the effort to breed/buy that many [har] balls.

    The weapon damage value in the character tooltip should increase but doesn't, I'm wondering if the effect is actually happening or just the tribble graphic coming up. 50K per character for an extra couple of percent armour or damage is not expensive by endgame standards.

    For the player the weapon value does increase.

    Which character tooltip specifically? Could you show a screenshot?

    I just equip them with tribbles to see them constantly petting them, who remembers when boffs would use hypos like a junkie with a needle, those were the days.

    In the window that has the capt, ship and boffs listed down the left hand side and status, skills, traits etc along the top.

    2 Boffs
    Tovan has the jem rifle for 45.7 X3 with 114.2 DPS, after he uses the tribble in Dyson those numbers stay the same
    Satra has rifle that does 47.4 and 100.4 and that stays the same.

    Both should be getting +2.5% after tribble use.
