Tribble Test Reward = Free Runabout pet?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
So I checked the Cstore today and found I had a free Runabout pet wiaiting for me.

Another player from my fleet did the Tribble Test weekend and he's got one too.


Is this the Tribble Test reward?

    StormShade is about to send out the community blast, but yes. We just turned on the reward for Season 3 tribble testers.

    Feds will get a Runabout ship pet
    Klinks will get a toron fighter ship pet

    Both pets are non combat, but will follow you around in sector space and system maps as long as you are out of combat.

    The runabout pet also stacks with the del taco pet so you can have both of them out at the same time.

    The pets do not need to be slotted to work, they can simply be in your bag.

    describe. Do you use it as a device? Is it a space combat pet? Do you have a screenshot?

    Missed the test weekend but still curious

    Stormshade will send out the official word with screens, it should be up shortly.

    While these items are devices, they don't need to be in a device slot to work. You simply need to have them in your inventory and you can slot the activate icon on your powers tray.

    It's a pet version of the regular Danube Runabout.

    +10% to awesome while not in combat
    They also have a 30% chance to proc jealousy in people that didn't test that weekend.

    I was lucky enough to win it in a contest on the forums, it was originally from Del Taco.

    They both look really cool, I do wish that they stuck around in combat though. Even if it shot ineffectual beams or something, it would still look that much cooler

    ...trying hard not to go into a fit everytime someone refers to a runabout as a shuttle. That's like referring to a Winnebago as a 2-door hatchback, or more specifically, referring to an ocean-going yacht as a dinghy.

    Would be nice though if the pets had active phaser arrays, as they should have. :p

    Maybe something dinky like a phaser that hits for 1-2 damage per blast?
    If nothing else it would makes things interesting just for show. :D

    NO WAY! I couldn't disagree more. Exclusive content like this is are great! You get to see who has been around for what. The only thing I don't like is that they partnered with del taco which isn't nation wide, but it's all good anyway.

    can you double check those numbers. i was only detecting 7% awesome and jealousy was not spawning correctly and when it did was fluctuating between 35-60%. Looks like it might need the nerf bat taken to it.
    :D

    seriously though i do like them.

    They already do.
    The Borg and Fluidic Tribble from the Season 1 and Season 2 test weekends are available on the C-Store.

    Is there a reason why the pets have to go away when combat starts? I understand they're non-combat pets but I would take that to mean that they won't do anything in combat rather disappearing when combat starts.
