so its been many many years since i have been on the test server.

what limits are there? can you get stuff from LBs to try out? Can you get stuff from lobi store, and so on to try out before you buy?
rep stuff, varied ships with varied consoles, and fighter bay stuff...etc.

    Only from what is carried over from your Holodeck character with the exception of Reputation items, which are available from a console on Drozana.

    thanks.
    kinda sucks then. id like to try several things from LBs and lobi store etc before i buy them on holodeck.
    rep items to test is good to know though.

    You used to be able to 'try-out' C-store ships etc, but some people were just using Tribble as a game-server, thereby getting Ships etc for free, so Cryptic cut it the option out. This same reason is probably why Tribble no longer gets updated as often.

    Some stuff you can actually get via a console on Drozana, such as Reputation Marks, EC, and Refined Dil. Though, you have to manually go through leveling the Reputations, though each project only lasts seconds instead of 20 hours that it does on Holodeck.

    As far as ships, you can't access the C-Store at all on Tribble, so that's out. You have to be in a fleet that's made, leveled, and provisioned on Tribble to be able to try out Fleet ships. If you've got a stack of Lobi big enough to just outright buy a ship, it's pretty easy to grab one per transfer (you can copy a character multiple times). If you've got less than needed, but still some, if you have been a subscriber in the past or current Lifetime to be able to have an Account Bank, as Tribble doesn't track C-Store purchases but does track subscription status, then just pile it up there after copying over multiple times. Without an account bank, or not having a viable amount of Lobi, buying some keys and then transferring those over multiple times and then mailing to the character you want the lobi on. If you decide you don't want the keys for opening boxes on live, sell them (back) on the Exchange. Key transferring also works for Lockbox ships, so long as you have the boxes you desire to transfer over as well.

    Dil and EC pets are easy to get if you have any of the needed unlocks already. Fleet pets require a Tribble Fleet, which good luck on finding/founding.
