Is this hour tracked in real-time?
or in-game time?
or (and this is what I personally think it happening) does the tribble wait for the buff to expire before it awards the 5 Dilithium again?
Because I've played my main for WAY WAY WAY more than an hour since last night and so far I've only ever received the initial 5 Dilithium. Despite my stroking.

Seems game time. I changed my toons clicked and nothing. Waited awhile then it worked. Probably best giving it to a ground boff and forgetting about it. Doff missions will tick over more often.

Sorta defeats the purpose of the tribble from experimentation it appears that not only is it game time, but GROUND played time.. so doing space STF's or other space based missions DOES NOT COUNT.

5 dilithium/hour is 1.5% of your daily cap if you play 24/7. Does it really matter? :D

Yes, because it DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED.
It says 5 Ore per hour..
It doesn't say 5 Ore per hour whilst you play ground missions only.
So as it stands, if your in your ship doing space stuff, it doesn't count for the hour.
Also, stroking the tribble before the buff expires, not only doesn't give you 5 ore (even though more than an hour has pasted since you last stroked it), but it RESETS the timer so you have to wait yet another 60 minutes.

I've found that the once an hour thing really doesn't work. You will gain the 5 Dilithium if you use your tribble ANY time you do not already have a tribble buff. ie: if you die 5 times in 10 minutes and use your tribble after every death, you will gain the 5 dilithium all 5 times because you did not have the buff on you. Seems a bit bugged to me.

is it not funny how much broken this game is, yet people keep paying them lots of money on there C-store items.! what the F, quit stuffing the c-store and START FIXING BUGS.
take the 8hour xp boost, that's the biggest "rip-off" ever item in there c-store, you do a mission and spent like 2 hours on it and what xp did you gain from it ... not much cus the % extra on mob kills is not even noticeable and the end mission extra yeah that took like hours to get :D
we can whine all day, as long as there are idiots jumping on there c-store like crazy boys on every new item there not gonna fix ****! and why should you fix stuff if money keeps poring in so eazy. anyways cryptic lands on my **** list, like NCsoft did before it. i don't care what uber game cryptic makes i won't buy it anymore.

This is very true I died that many times after I claimed it and it gave me 5 every time I used it.
This statement I have personally found to be the case.
