So, your inventory has 10 risian birds, 8 monkeys (4 masked to help fight coronavirus), 2 cats, a Horta, an elachi skitterer, a gingerbread man, and several other miscellaneous pets. You worked hard to accumulate those pets, but you can only show them 1 at a time...so nobody knows your dedication to pets...what to do....Hmm...
Well, we have a solution for those people who worked hard to finish all their reputations -> the Repuation Flourish ground effect where an explosion of light and a dozen temporary glowing icons announces to everyone the achievement...often answered in kind both others in room with their own flourish.
Now imagine -> Pet Flourish ground effect, which upon activation causes a temporary glowing copy of every pet in your inventory to explode out of you in ground social zones!
(no groaning, please!)
STO, make it so!

STO please don't!!!

And most of the load causing effect spam you mention are in space combat, not in social ground zones where combat cannot even occur.
Just give us a Pet Tab to put them all in.
Together with my 40+ pets, you and I could turn ESD into a scene from Gremlins 2.
+1 to pet tab.
There are other items that would be nice to have their own slot also. For example, I have ship with diff weapon loadouts I use for endeavors. All the swapped out items end up in inventory which take up a lot of space when you consider space damage endeavors could use AP, Pha, Dis, Tet, Pol, and Plasma. 5x8 = 40 weapons in inventory. Would be nice if there was a weapons tab those could all sit on.
However, STO may not be hot on either pet tab or weapon tab....more tabs means more free space on main inventory tab, thus less people needing to buy more inventory space.
Oh, and +3 for the Tribble Flourish and Pet Flourish...not enough people voting for it.
Actually... at several points in time, the Devs have said something about a pet tab being on the whiteboard. They are aware of the need to make more space available because unlike most MMOs, STO doesn't just give you a power to summon pets from using an item. You need to have the item in your inventory.
Some of us collectors have maxed out inventory and bank space, and STILL are having inventory space problems. While I don't have maxed out space myself, having 40+ pets in my bank is taking up a MASSIVE chunk of space I could use for other things, like my weapons collection.
Working with the system, a Pet Storage Tab is probably the easiest way to go. And they HAVE done it before by making the R&D tab for crafting mats. Would be better if they just made them into usable items that grants the ability to summon pets like how many other MMOs do it, but we'd then need a new page in our "spellbook" dedicated to pets only so as not to clutter our current one with pet summons when we're trying to organize our powers.
So do I. Different ships with different damage types. Swap ships according to damage type needed.
And +1 for pet tab.
