All I want for the Holidays is a new PET TAB! Please make it so.

Yes, occasionally this has been asked (PET Tabs). This is a quality of life improvement for some of us yet we are being told it might be difficult to implement.
Year after year, STO keeps adding new great vanity pets and now we even have an R&D tab. Yet no pet tab. Our poor pets and those coming from the next winter event need a home and it is a win-win situation for STO and the players. If you put this for profit on the C-Store, I'm sure some of us collectors would be willing to pay a price for it.

In the past, it was mentioned by devs and acknowledged that it was a "good idea" and something that they wanted as well.

The idea of a system/feature that ties into Vanity Pets has been seriously considered multiple times over my tenure on the STO team. It's likely to happen at some point, but not a complete guarantee. And as for when? I couldn't even begin to guess.

We already have ViL, AoD and even now we have a brand new Mr EP. We are greatly thankful for all the great additions.

Is it already time? and 8 years in the making to see if we are close to the "someday" scenario? Please keep this idea floating in someone's quality of life improvement project.

Thanks and enjoy a safe Winter Holiday!​​

    Might happen at some point but not necessarily soon. They need to find a good way to monetize it first. OR develop it in a way that it lightens the server storage instead of increasing it.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Yup, pets in inventory was fine when there was only a few. Now there's way too many to not need a special pet tab or a Reclaim page where so you can discard and reclaim pets as the mood suits you. I don't even bother with pets anymore since I don't want to dedicate 50 bank slots for 'useless' things.
  • bloodyrizbloodyriz Member Posts: 1,756 Arc User
    Oh Gods yes! Put it into the C Store for 500 and I would gladly buy it.​​

    yes. it will allow me to buy some pets or be motivated to... and a bit of a breathing room too, for a while, considering some chars have multiple pets and no real place

    I support this idea

    I support this as well. Pet tab for bank/inventory. I'd buy that.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D
  • captainkoltarcaptainkoltar Member Posts: 941 Arc User
    Sure, I'd get some use out of this.

    However, can we also get a toggle in the 'p' window to hide non combat pet summoning abilities. I'd imagine it'd be a pain to find the abilities you want to slot if you have 50 pets as well

    yeah, I'm envious of black desert online because they can have so many pets out, it's ridiculous.
    TBH I want to be the cat lady of sto. I want an army of cats (and dogs) follow me around. Dinos and tribbles can come too.

    It will be glorious.

    We do need this to be a priority if they keep adding more pets to C store or just in game. Please make it so Devs!​​

    This is one of those that really have been asked by players....

    In the past many more updates or quality of life improvements have been started with the phrase "due to players feedback we introduce xxxx". I think it is a good time to put it out there as well and I will start creating tickets on a personal level to GM so they formally log in this need as a quality improvement issue that needs to be put back into the design wish list.​​

    It's on the radar, along w/ the T6 Nova, T6 Oberth, T6 Kar'fi, T6 Vo'quv, T6 Hegh'ta, T6 Ha'nom, T6 Ha'feh, and various other projects. I would recommend using moderation when creating tickets and such, to get what you want. The last thing you need, is to end up enjoying an all expense paid vacation from STO, courtesy of Cryptic, all because whoever you ticket takes it as harassment because of frequency.

    Since all non-combat pets tend to automatically go to the over flow bag, and that you can use them from there. Why not just take that away from the actual overflow bag, and turn it into a Pet Overflow bag? Then just add a button at the bottom of the inventory window for it.

    They could even do it in a manner, where the window lists all obtainable pets. However, only the ones that have been obtained are usable. This way, the "Summon Pet" skill can call that up, and you can select the pet you wish to summon. This removes the
    pet item itself, and just allows one to summon said pet.

    Combat Pet and Tribbles would still require inventory space.
