Star Trek Online: Tribble Farming

Players of Star Trek Online that are looking for more diversions within the game may be interested to note that another activity that you can engage in is tribble farming.

The basic principle of tribble farming is very simple – simply put one or more tribbles and a food item in the same location (e.g. your Inventory or your Bank) and then wait for them to turn the food into a new tribble.

You may however be surprised to learn just how many different tribble types there are in the game. Although many players may have picked up only one or two tribbles as loot during missions, diligent tribble-lovers have already identified over twenty different breeds, distinguishable by their fur colour and pattern.

Although tribbles are intrinsically value-less within the game, equipping them and/or stroking them does provide a minor buff to things like healing, resistance and damage, and some breeds are much rarer than others, meaning that they have some value to enterprising farmers.

A degree of research also seems to indicate that different tribbles will produce different kinds of breeds depending on what food you give them.
