The Tholians are coming.
Level 50 players can find their Invasion in the Nukara system in the Eti Eridani sector block.
Be mindful that if your testing character isn't yet level 50, it won't qualify us to test this specific mission. And won't qualify us for the Doff reward later. But all of us who play for at least one hour on Tribble will still get the Fleet Tribble.

So completing one of the Easy missions like collecting data logs qualifies one for the Breen Doff?

Hey, groovy, Tribble Test Weekend and associated Prizes.
Play on Tribble for at least one (1) hour and earn* an exclusive Fleet Tribble.
Check and more. Started Testing at 11:12p 07/06/12; Ended at 01:06a 07/07/12. A little less than two hours.
Play on Tribble and complete at least one (1) mission in the Tholian Incursion ground map (found on Nukara Prime in the Eta Eridani Sector Block) and earn* the exclusive Ang the Vicious Duty Officer.
Check, check, and check. I actually completed three missions: Completed: 12:44a [Easy] Interior: Indentured Dismissal, 12:46a [Easy] Interior: Interspacial Inquiry, 1:05a [Easy] Exterior: Industrial Espionage.
Tholians look great. Great animation/movements too. Very dramatic "death scenes" they play out each time they die. I liked that. I didn't notice any Crit-Exposed-Vaporizations, despite making said result a few times. So Tholians don't go >poof< That's disappointing. However, nice to see you guys remembered to hook up the "Kill x Tholian" Accolades. At least 100 is there, as I got that one ("Chipped", IIRC). Thanks for that.
Overall feedback? I wasn't that keen on the Borg Invasion Map missions. I don't know that I'll care much more about the Tholian one. More grind, no "story". Meh. >shrug< So far, I haven't seen anything in S6 that's grabbing me, sorry.
Anyway, thanks in-advance for the Testing goodies. I'll look forward to using them in S7. :cool:
P.S. I was sorry to see the hole in the doorway floor of my bridge (between my Office and the Bridge-proper) is still there. Has been since S2 (and yes, I've placed bug tickets, including pix, over the years (but no, I didn't bother placing another this time, as it clearly doesn't matter)). Would love for that to go away, along with many other bugs that have been around since then and before... :rolleyes:

Though we do not get the rewards until an unspecified date, would be nice to have conformation on screen that we have met the criteria... I would not want to hit season six and find that I have missed out on the rare goodies due to some glitch on the test server that didn't register my participation. I was on the server 10 minutes after Branflakes made it known it was live, right up to the point where the server went down due to loading issues. That was 3 hours+ I believe.
I did the two easy missions and then wondered about to kill the rest of my hour by freeing trapped "friends" in the crystals. I'm assuming that's part of another misiion?
Right, should be something else for the klingons since tribbles are not keen for being around them

*important Notes: If Eligible, These Account-wide Rewards Will Be Claimable For Free From The C-store On Holodeck At A Currently Unannounced Date Post Season 6 Launch.
So if we earn these in Tribble do they transfer to Holodeck?
LOL umm thats the whole point
Ladies (who am i kidding) and Gentlemen please save your questions until you have actually read the announcement in full and not just looked at the pretty pictures.
So am I reading this right, we only have to complete ONE of the missions to get the rewards?
I jsut cleared four of them, would have been five but "Closing doors" is glitched.
Wait.
We have to complete one of the Tholian Ground Invasion Missions to recieve the testing reward(s)?
My only toon on this F2P account is only level 12 though.
Since he doesn't meet the level requirements, matching doesn't change that, and Cryptic never added the leveling NPC's they've been promising for about 2 years now, how am I supposed to achieve this?
I sincerely hope that you will fix all the bugs in the Tholian missions before you release this on Holodeck.
As for the FX for the Tholian spiderweb on the ground, please, you need to change it. The FX for the Nausicaan Rifle hold suits them better then the current one.
The mining for crystals must be changed to a lower amount or to be a team pool so no everyone in a team has to mine. It takes hours of 5 people have to take turns mining while the rest guards.
The mission items must be possible to discard/trade. They take up inventory space and can't be removed.
And I'm sure most of this and all other problems have been mentioned in the official feedback thread.

You can do them simultaneously.

the special tribbles as season/preorder rewards are usable by klingons.
Could a bank site be included on Nukara Prime? (Or have I missed it:D)

But yeah, I logged on for the reward, stayed for the fun!
