Tribble Not Updated to Match Holodeck

in Tribble - General Discussion and Feedback
Basically what the title says.

Holodeck is on ST.302.20230924a.14

Tribble is on ST.302.20230827a.22

A Tribble update to allow testing of newer items/ships would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Tribble and Holodeck are not usually the same. This should explain.

    The Tribble server is where players can assist QA (Cryptic's Quality Assurance team) with testing out new content and upcoming changes to STO before they are pushed to the live Holodeck (server). Some (not all) features and mission content often evolve here. Some changes may never reach Holodeck.

    The other part, though, has been for players to test their setups (sans Endeavor Perk Points, as those are held by the server, so you don't start on Tribble with your Perk Points). There's a ship combat test map specifically for this reason. For Tribble to not at least be caught up with Holodeck messes with that testing ground.

    In the past, it had been for testing features in advance to help QA. Now, it's more a stress test measure and a player build testing server.

    Tribble is not meant to be 'up to date' with Holodeck. It's for testing content ONLY, not for folk to use to play the game on instead of Holodeck. Folk have been using it to get new lockbox ships for 'free' in the past, this is NOT what Tribble is for. There is also no need for it to be up to date to pressure/stress test the server either.

    Tribble has ALWAYS been a test server, it's NOT a game server.
