Pet Pouch and Utility Belt

Ever since I collected a full set of rare and purple birds at Risa my bank and inventory has seemed more like a zoo... I keep buying inventory slots, but it's now 3/Quarters full and alot of it is pets and devices. What I can't fit in my inventory, I try to store in my full bank, BUT I can't use pets from there so I try to put as many possible in the inventory... and same story with devices.
I'm using my bridge officer device slots to store every type of ground device/pets imaginable (hint: it's one of the safest places to put tribbles so they don't eat your food.)... and all slots are full to bursting. Yet more are added every year. I've stopped claiming any more unless it's really special for lack of room.
Some ideas to solve this is either place pets in a tab of their own or add a Pet Pouch to the personal Status screen where you can slot pets in yourself.
For personal devices, you can expand the current slots or change it into a utility belt-type interface, similar to the kit; where you can add or change devices as necessary like you change modules. And both the Pet Pouch and Utility belt could be expandable so you can add more slots if desired.
Can we expect to see improvements for these?

I think they are more interested in selling inventory slots then providing a good player experience on this point.
Players win because they can finally make a reasonable attempt to "catch 'em all."
Cryptic wins because people will might actually start buying pets from in the store.
Cryptic also wins because a collection system opens the door to more overall--accolades, or perhaps even some other game content involving noncombat pets.
Tribbles are another thing entirely. We own ships, so why can't we have a quarantined "tribble storage." And on the subject of tribbles, it really is time to allow every tribble to do the out-of-combat heal in addition to any buffs.
Heck... it would be cool if they gave us a seperate Pet Inventory area like they did with R&D.

All good points. A seperate tribble breeding area is not a bad idea, but I don't think those designers like us giving them ideas lol... so much room to be creative, I'll leave it up to their imagination.
Gotta catch em all!

Before we know it we have a yellow rat as a pet which shocks the heralds into oblivion.
Totally. I had one of each type of gingerbread person but had to delete all except 2 of them for lack of room. And I know players who have 1 of every rarity in every type of summer event bird. They'll run out of space eventually if they add more pets to the summer event, if they haven't already lol.
don't forget cryptic just give us a heap of new spaces when they upgraded the crafting system, ok they are only for crafting stuff but they took all that from your main inventory so effectively gave you more room there at the same time.
having said that I have often thought that it would be sweet if we had an extra pet slot on our ship and character, preferably one that will auto enable the pets whenever we are not in combat, just for non combat pets only.
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.
I wonder why it would be more difficult to implement rather than the current state of affairs where non-equipped pets live in the bank. Many people have asked why not set up a special section of the Bio lab for pets, one tab for ground pets, another for space. If you want to equip a different pet, go down to the Science lab on your ship and get it. I'd spend a few Zen for that.
Romulans: left one homeworld, lost another, third time's the charm?
Yet, STO still forces us to keep currencies in our main inventory, like all those character bound elite marks. There is even less reason for those to be in our inventory compared to pets.
I've not agreed with a lot of what you've said in the past, Some of this I agree with. Starting with the pets, they are little more than a vanity item, they serve no practical purpose. So I'd say if you want them fair enough but expect to lose a inventory/banks slot to hold them. But as for the Utility belt increases, hell yes, I'd even part with Zen for them, even if we could increase our personal device capacity by two slots. As a avid ground pounder this would be so helpful.
That is a good point, stated before but worth repeating. Players would definitely buy slot expansions for a pet tab or pouch and utility belt or device kit. A worthy addition good to see one day in the C-Store hopefully.
Well, we have a tribble breeder in the fleet starbase, which doesn't serve to actually breed anything... I think there might be some possibilities open on that front, even if they don't include it with pets in a pouch or tab.
I do a bit of that myself and know players who on the whole prefer ground to space though tbh, there aren't very many around. It may be a reason why something hasn't been implemented or improved. It's definitely something practical, profitable and I think possible to do. They gotta come up with something sooner or later...
..oh stop staring at me you big-eyed, long-eared, fuzzy risan rabbit thingy.
Unfortunately, I can't find it at the moment... and no, it wasn't me.
