can anybody tell me why we cant test the new ships out on tribble i thought this is why we have a test server..im not going to spend money on something i havent tested out first..this makes no sense to me to have a test server with nothing to test(as far as ships). thanks for any insight

I made this same point in another thread asking the same questions. This guy gives a pretty good hypothesis.

My answer however to that is they need a dedicated QA person to handle their ships to keep them from being released as broken.

What purpose does Tribble actually serve?

Preview of the next patch slated for Holodeck (usually within 24 hours from being on Tribble)

Is is in no way, shape or form, a true "testing server". If it were, we wouldn't have as many bugs as we currently have in the game. Cryptics bug list must be atleast a mile long by now. One wonders when they'll get around to actually fixing those bugs.

So basically it's just a pointless pacifier, not a test server at all.

some people awhile back got test zen for doing certain events, but you had to be there at the time. pretty lame to be honest im prob gonna erase it off my hd
