When do you get the Holographic Tribble again?

I thought the Holographic BO was awarded when your referral purchases the game and stays for a month and that the tribble was awarded when someone accepts a referral.

Right now, I have someone who has accepted a referral but no tribble yet...

    You're right about the officer. The tribble will be yours once your referral enters a STO retail key.

    The tribble is when they buy the game. The bridge officer is when they buy their first month of gametime.

    Are you guys sure? Have you actually gotten it yourself? Because until you do, I wouldn't say things like that. There's a handful of people who have referred players that have bought the game and even subscribed for a month or more but have no idea how to get the tribble, from what I gather.

    I got the Tribble after one of my referree's applied his retail Key.
    Its in the C-Store for me under Special Unlocks.

    it's only when you get the Digital Deluxe Edition from Atari Store BY downloading the game from the net, it's the only way without a small chance for a uncommon or a rare tribble by leaving in abunch of Romulian Ale

    Were talking about the new exclusive tribble reward from the "Referr a Friend" program. :p

    There's a bug at the moment which makes the invitation status 'Offer Cancelled' even after the demo & retail keys are put in by the friend. They're trying to fix it for me at the moment, but I've been told there's no quick fix, work around or ETA. So be warned. :(

    Are these going to be retroactively fixed? I have a couple that are in that state and I was under the impression the referrals weren't actually redeemed by my buddies. I guess I can put a ticket in and just cross my fingers. :confused:

    They better be, I'm getting words like 'patient' and 'trying to fix it' but its now been more than a week, and there's been no update from the GMs on the forums about the problem, and its like getting water from a stone asking Support. :(

    How, then, do I have a holographic tribble when I have never referred anyone? Every time I go on a ground mission for the past couple of days, there is a holo-tribble in my action bar. It isn't in my inventory or my equipped items, however it shows up when I bring up the action tray list by hitting P. The only information it tells me is that it will disappear after 5 minutes, and it does, but then it shows up again later in the same mission if I take too long. Was running with a fleet mate and he said it was appearing and disappearing from his inventory, too.

    Yes, that's true, I have one referral who bought the game and I got the Photonic Tribble.

    The holographic Tribble you see is a bonus Tribble that activates in the following way.
    • One of the members of your team (or just needs to be close by you) activates his Photonic tribble
    • The one with the Photonic Tribble get's his "normal" one hour Tribble buffs and the Holographic Tribble sitting in his/her inventory (only on the action bar) and all those who are close by - I know it works for the ones teamed up didn't test with people who are not in my team - and you need to be close enough
    • When the holographic Tribble shows up you have 300 seconds to pet it - if I understood correctly it gives the "normal" one hour Tribble Buff, in this case a 3% damage resist
