Thank you Cryptic for the Kelvin Timeline Tribble

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Someone really cared enough to hide a secret food item in Terminal Expanse which can breed this lensflare tribble, Its reassuring that theres still a desire among the dev team to dedicate effort into detail and those little things which make a game more interesting.

"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    2% to all damage and 2% to all defense and makes a big blue lens flare when you pet it.

    To get your very own Kelvin timeline tribble, play Terminal Expanse, complete all the objectives on the Yorktown's bridge, but when prompted to beam down, say "NOT NOW"

    Go to the back end of the bridge opposite the viewscreen, you may possibly have to move a little to the left or right to get the prompt to "Replicate Refreshment", do so to receive a Slurpee type food item which you can breed a Kelvin Timeline Tribble with.

    Thank you :)

    I don't think I'll be using the Tribble itself, but having a lens flare effect can be fun :)

    What would the klingon version be on the D4x?

    Thanks for the heads up OP. I saw this thread yesterday but forgot to comment. It's always nice to get a new and unique tribble. :) I only wish I didn't have to keep giving them to my boffs so the things don't eat the winter food in my bank. At this point my crew's pockets are literally full of tribbles. o:)

    Cool, I'll check that out. What I do is I keep all food in my bank, and all tribbles in my inventory, keeping them seperate so all the food doesn't disappear from the tribbles. Though some may keep Tribbles and food in the other location? *shrugs*

    Blinds everyone with in 100 meters and de-canons everything else.

    ( Like anyone thought I wasn't going to see this thread. UJHUcXG.png )​​

    Hmm maybe we should all post pics of our characters with the new Tribble then. To make sure you don't see it next time :p

    Is it unique or can you get them for whole away team?

    Apparently not unique, but you can only get one slusho mix for it per run. You can also sell both food and tribble on the exchange.

    You can replicate as many slusho mixes as you want as long as they are not in your inventory. Give it to a boff to hold and you can replicate another.

    It's weird but all my other captains except for the AOY captain has a Kelvin tribble. He got his like in a couple of minutes, the others just have a tribble and Slusho mix . Maybe they are slower? Did anyone get the Kelvin tribble for all their non-AOY captains?

    Wierd I did get a report from a friend of mine that his tribble was slow to breed. Although it did take me an hour to get my first one, 2nd one took 3 minutes.

    Yesterday's war.

    You have to do the missions before it in the arc before it becomes avaliable, Core of the matter and Vorgon conclusions.

    Use /played. Tribbles breed when the hour rolls over.

    Tribbles breed once an hour at the top of your "/played" time.

    Several someones, actually. This was a combined effort between 5-6 of us (Content, Systems, FX, UI, QA etc). Thomasthecat thought this would be a fun little touch, and we agreed :)

    GO FORTH AND LENS FLARE!
