Pets need a Separate Space

Pets are a great thing in Star Trek Online. I also know that the developers did away with a bunch of items that the players need to collect to finish quests in the Defera Invasion Zone. Now some of the items don't take space in the players' bank and on-hand inventory space. But I would like to recommend the developers think of a separate space for pets.
According to the Star Trek Online wiki, there are at least 20 non-combat pets in total and Star Trek Online is always adding more. So it is time that the developers need to create a separate space for pets if some of the players want to collect all of them.
Star Trek Online has just added the Skitterers companion to the Lobi Crystal Store (http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=957771) and the Risa Tropical Egg which you can research a pet (http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=925601). These are just recent examples. I think it is time to add a separate space for pets due since the developers want to keep adding pets to the game almost every major update.:D
I have 4 pets if anyone wants to know.:) This is just for non-combat pets, not tribbles. Thank you for your time. So what does everybody think?

WoW has a similar method for pets. You click on it and its added to your "Pet Tab". Where you can summon anyone you collected. And it don't interfere with your bank or bag space. Unless your trying to sell it or something.

The problem arises with pets that can be turned in for rewards. At that point it probably gets too complicated for the devs to bother.
I do as well, it's simple and very functional. This would be a boon for those special tribbles.
Right now, you have to fish for your Tribble, equip it and then go fighting. Which is forever in Fleet Events like Colony Invasion. But if you could just take one click from a list of your collection of tribbles, you can get back into the fight and not be a liability to the team.
Turning in pets would only be a concern if you have activated them. This can be resolved by showing what the pet looks like in the item description window since people summon lower ranked pets to see what they look like. Some Lobi store items have this feature so it is not a concern.
Pets need to get out of the limited inventory space. Especially if you intend to introduce a new one each Season.
Agreed, would love for the devs to take note and implement this, it can't be that difficult to add an extra Inv/bank tab for pets, after all we can buy extra slots easily enough.
My concern is pets that have been added to our collections and become summon powers instead of inventory items. They no longer exist as an item to be turned in. A "preview mode" would be helpful yes.
As for ones you can trade in like Epohh's, when in the storage you cannot trade them in for marks until you move it to inventory. This would help in making sure you dont accidently trade in the one you want to keep.
They could even add a breeding terrarium for tribbles, put a tribble in it and a food supply. the new tribble is popped out every hour and into the pet storage.
combat/non-combat ground pets:
Say 5 pet slots for silvers, 10 for gold for free. 20 extra slots for 500 zen and 10 extra slots for 250. Gold up to 100 slots max and silvers up to 50 max. (first ten slots show up in the room and can be beamed in when you are out and about.)
combat/non-combat space pets:
Say 5 pet slots for silvers, 10 for gold for free. 20 extra slots for 500 zen and 10 extra slots for 250. Gold up to 100 slots max and silvers up to 50 max. (Space pets could be a hanger you store them in but cant really see them, basicly just a bank console you add them into.)
Tribbles:
10 slots for silvers, 20 slots for gold free. 50 extra slots for 250 zen, 100 extra for 500 zen. max 5 purchases of 100 or 10 of 50. Breeding terrarium 500 zen. (ten tribbles show in the room)
I think a slot and purchase scheme for extra like that is reasonable. I have more than 5 ground pets so first thing I would do is buy another 20 if they had this.

It would have to be easily accessible during events so players call their pets. And it also can be part of a decoration in the captain's quarters for aesthetics in-game. This is the best idea I can think of. Anyone else have a idea?

Not like we have to go like another game, for a pet tab, but all that inventory space, and bank space being used up by pets, WOULD be nice to be utilized for better stuff, and all whatnot.
There's too many pets now, to have this ignored, at this point.
Aye, me too.
I'm still on board with this as well.
