To Devs: Pet Inventory Tab Needed

velquavelqua Member Posts: 1,220 Arc User
in Star Trek Online General Discussion
With all the non-combat pets available in-game and the limited space available in the bank and inventory, players really need to have an expandable Pet Inventory Tab to place all of the pets that they collect throughout their gaming experience. Tacofangs, Borticus, and to all the other Developers, please add this to the game. I would like to suggest, in addition to the expandable Pet Inventory Tab, an Active Non-Combat Pet slot on the player, where one places gear at, for 1 pet that the player can choose like you do with gear. Please please please make this expandable Pet Inventory Tab a reality. Thanks. :)

    I only have one pet Calico, and that is enough. I have no problems keeping the Calico in the very last inventory slot, out of sight, and not getting in the way of anything.
    I completed a 2-man CSE, ISE, and KASE, Optionals included. And I soloed Winter Invasion.

    SWTOR has the perfect solution to this. Instead of requiring the pet in our inventory, have it as an item that vanishes and grants us the ability to summon the pet from the power window..

    Pet ranch/inventory please...

    Yes, Dear Cryptic, PLEASE hear our plea...
    A separate bank is where our Pets should be.
    More Money for You and more space for me!

    If the Devs can say no to an adorable minion like that... they truly are heartless...

    Yup, with all the pets and no place to put them; I stopped bothering years ago. If we had a separate tab/bank space/whatever, I'd probably have kept collecting them.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Or, you could just make the pets still work from the bank. That would keep the Calico out of my inventory, but still able to be activated.

    I second this, especially with my poor bank. :)

    I have to agree that we need a new Pet Tab. They keep adding new pets, but doing nothing about the space they take up. We've seen them make a special R&D tab for mats and components, so it IS possible.

    I third, fourth or whatever number endorse this!

    Please, a pet tab in inventory or even in the bank and make them summonable from the bank. But I will settle for a pet tab in inventory.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    Polls, man. That's the best way to keep track of support.

    Also fully behind this. More tabs. Maybe even a single user-definable tab ("ground weapons," "consoles," "food," or "pets"). Make changing the tab's content type cost dilithium.

    How does that work? Because I don't see how. Are you saying something as simple as a name change should cost Dilithium when in other places across the game (ship names and Chat tabs specifically) Dilithium is NOT required?

    I'm not proposing a general use second inventory tab, but extending the idea of a pets-only tab. Now say instead of pets, you wanted to store personal shields. Well, pay the fee, change the tab's purpose and what you can put in there. Have it work sort of like the R&D tab does now.

    In that case, make it cost ec, like it does when we change ship names.

    Game is in need of dilithium sinks, and inventory management is a powerful feature that currently costs Zen to enhance. Dilithium cost is a good middleground (say 1000-10000 dilithium per purpose change).

    Again, this would be more than changing the ship name, it would change what you could store in an additional tab full of slots. Whether those slots count against main inventory or are a separate capacity is up to whomever implements it.

    I don't think doing that is going to bring down the price of dil on the exchange, and I highly doubt there will be much support for it for this.

    I could be wrong, though. I know I wouldn't support it myself.

    Was thinking this the other day. My bank is full of pets. It would be nice to have a separate tab for just pets. I started collecting them a couple years back and now wish I hadn't.

    a pet directory would be cool, I would also like a dedicated slot added to ships and characters so you can slot non combat pets to be auto spawned without having to manually call the function but I very much doubt any of this will happen.
    this would also help with storage issues as we could store all of our space NC pets on our ships, that would go a long way to sorting part of our storage problems.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    The pet tab might. We eventually got the R&D tab, didn't we?

    we only got a R&D tab because they updated the R&D when they added the upgrading option, I don't suspect any such updating to pets.

    Maybe you don't suspect we'll get it, but it doesn't hurt to ask, since we're getting more and more pets as time goes on.

    If the request remains respectful, then it's more likely to be considered, I think. Or if enough people endorse it.

    we can only hope.

    Yes I do. I've seen people remain calm and respectful even in the face of others who don't.

    It's not impossible.

    I only get one pet per character because they are completely useless and I spend more time in combat than I do sitting around.
