quick question for you guys. First off, no I'm not into the tribble thing and have been offing the little buggers as fast as I pick them up.
but
Well, I've started doing the Borg stuff so I went ahead and snagged my assimilated tribble thinking that any little bit helps.
Well, with no food (and considering that he's been assimilated, was kind of hoping the thing had been neutered).
I now have a assimilated tribble spawn. What do you do with these things?
Other than just deleting him that is. Who knows, perhaps it gives the same buff as the original? And if so....is it even worth it?

Cargo space is always as a premium.
Some Tribbles heal, some give regen buffs, some give damage buffs, some give damage resistance buffs. Some even give you multiple types of buffs at the same time. You can give them to your BOff's, where they will use them and get the appropriate buff from the appropriate tribble.
I refer you to this flowchart found in this thread. It should outline how to get the specific Tribble you want. Your assimilated Tribble apparently behaves the same way as the "Rivera" Tribble in the middle of this chart for the purposes of breeding.
the discard button actually
a) if you are in space, it depending on preferences of captain
1. neuters them and lets them roll around the many corridors of a ship rather than taking space in the cargo bay like a hampster in a ball happily
2. puts them into longterm buffer thing storage (we know that tribbles do not take anywhere near as much room in buffers as other creatures because in the Tribble With Klingons mission you beam up several million (to quote Doctor Jones) tribbles at once) for the next time you visit a station. When you visit a station you will find the tribbles you discarded in the "tribble adoption centre" room which looks a bit like a children's ball pool lol
b) if you are on ground, releases the tribble which then rolls off slowly in the direction of the station adoption centre (all stations have one since there are so many tribbles and starfleet considers it inhumane to kill them just because there are lots in the same way you wouldn't genocide planets) lured by the smell of food (they are only actually given the food when they are neutered tho it's put behind a grill so tribbles can smell it from anywhere in the station with their food senses tho sometimes they get lost and you see them hiding behind consoles on the floor in the bank room etc).. they haven't put in the animation for releasing tribbles yet but I'm imagining it probably will look a bit like a combination of the "pet tribble" animation and the animation when you "crouch to scan mission objective" objects (you remain standing for scanning anomalies), crouch down, stroke them a last time and let go to roll off
The ones that breed directly off of a Borg tribble are worth more than the basic tribbles, and have higher buffs as well. Higher resistance/damage/regen when you're in ground combat is worth the slot for the higher tier tribbles. If you don't want to keep them yourself, onsider donating them to fleet mates, or selling them on the Exchange. You can make some decent money from selling Stacy, Howe, Deangelo, and Cavallaro, all of which breed directly from Borg. You won't get rich off of it, but it never hurts to have some extra spending money.
