Tribble Mini stealth nerf, cool down?

Am I seeing this right? The simple act of moving a tribble from your inventory to your character puts the tribble in a 15 sec lock out? Really?!? now tribbles are time gated? Frozen boots locked out for 15 secs as well. I understand (but disagree) with the STF marks nerf but were players collecting their 1 mark every hour too fast? :rolleyes:
What next, when beaming to your starship it has to "warm up" before it will move.

Have you tried the new forum on your phone?

I think this to stop people carrying 2 of item X in their inventory, using one and then slotting the other to avoid the cool down on the first.
Bit more complicated (need to be out of red alert), but there you go.
No, sorry, I didn't refer to your post.
I was referring to the OP's post about having Tribbles on 15 sec cooldown.

Makes sense now to quell the great tribble exploit of 2014!
The tribble swap was a well known exploit and thus has been prevented to lower the power creep as well as the rep traits.. both were the mayor factors in the power creep in this game, that why these are handled first
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
How on earth is a tribble considered an exploit or power creep, in fact how is any device for ground an exploit...
I believe some of the unique tribbles had outstanding bonuses; doubling them up with the exploit would make people pretty powerful, amiright?
It seems the vast majority of your most active players (forum regulars) hate the idea... and while that's a small subset of the playerbase, I think it's an important constituency.
THE PLAYERS DO NOT WANT THIS.
Using another Tribble cancels the effects of the previous one.
It's sarcasm.
The rule wasn't changed in order to nerf tribbles (they're still hour long buffs anyway), but to reduce the viability of hot-swapping other devices in combat, or using stealth to break combat and then relatively quickly switch kit modules.
Yes . . . But some actual testing would have been . . . nice/ responsible.
Where I feel the pinch from this change is with batteries in space combat. I occasionally like to swap out batteries in combat, or if I run out, I'll put more in from my inventory, and the 15 second cooldown amounts to a minor annoyance. Not the end of the galaxy, but a minor annoyance.
totally agree, irresponsible tribble breeding is the major, if not singular cause of both power creep, klingon/fed peace (not sure why) and possibly maybe related to Undine expansion. How many tribble are undine spies in disguise?
in short, tribble were OP.
Yea, except the first action that a tribble does, is wipe any existing tribble buffs, and then applies its own.
Don't frosted boots go off line the instant you are hit?
That being said, I'm really ticked off about consumable devices being put on cooldown when they're equipped. Kits and other reusable gear I can understand, but consumables is ridiculous.

I must have missed it the wall o text patch notes from yesterday.
I understand that it was probably easier to just code it to apply the cooldown to ALL equipable devices, but I can not think that the action is reasonable.
Cryptic, please rethink the cooldown of these devices, and the tribble cooldown in particular.
I understand removing exploits, but with tribbles, there was nothing to expoiit to begin with.
Upping the cooldown from 6 seconds to 15 with season 9.5 only makes this worse.
