A mission designed to test your ship build for use in STFs.

Why make an STF Simulator?
You may be wondering why I'm making an STF Simulator mission. The simple answer is to test ship builds, the longer answer is, well there are several;


 * STF Gear Acquisition is Long and Expensive. Season 7 and the Task Force Omega Reputation System have made gaining the STF gear more quantifiable than before, but the acquisition is still a long expensive process, and choosing the wrong item can be a very expensive mistake.
 * Cryptics' Caveat emptor Attitude. Cryptic knows exactly how long and expensive this process is, and that  players could easily requisition the wrong item, or find an item doesn't perform as they expected.  Yet they seem not to care, offering no refund/exchange or testing option. The 'Test vendor' on Tribble is intended as a temporary means for players to provide Cryptic with feedback on the items, not a permanent testing solution for the players benefit. That it allows players to 'try before you buy' items is a convenient happenstance.
