This is the latest post from the forums concerning Tribbles update:

General:

* Ship Interiors are in:
o Bridge access is now back! Remember, you can only go while in social maps and sector space!
o All bridges have a ready room built into them.
o Trophy display is supported in the ready room and the lounge. Only the Bridge owner is allowed to change what Trophies are on display on their ship.
o There is a new tab for Layout on the Bridge selection screen of the Ship Tailor. Select a Small Medium or Large interior for your ship.
o Regardless of size each Layout has a Bridge Deck, Crew Deck and Engineering Deck.
o Ship interiors now have sliding doors that open automatically as Players and crew move towards them.
o Red sliding doors are Turbolifts. Use these to move between the different decks of your interior.
* Trophies
o Players can now earn trophies to display on their ship.
o They are available for completing select episodes, accolades. These Trophies are retroactive.
o There are also trophies for taking first place in a fleet action, these Trophies are NOT retroactive but ARE totally awesome to compensate.
o Federation and Klingon ship models are granted (respectively) upon completing the appropriate rank up missions, these Trophies are retroactive.
* Some eye attachments on the liberated borg costume parts now have borg laser FX.
* Added better Diplomacy corps follow up inside the end of the First contact missions.

* Sound FX have been added to the scanning minigame.
* There have been updates to the level 51 ships (notes in the powers section).
o In order to see the changes you must delete the ship you currently have and buy it again.
o There is a console in the fed and Klingon ship purchasing area that will give you free level 51 ship tokens.
o As long as you have no level 51 ship tokens on your character you can get more.
o This means you can get all three of the new fed ships on one character so you can try them out (tribble test shard only feature).

* New store vendors are in the center of earth space dock and qonos under the great hall with the other vendors.
