I second this!

True... I keep forgetting about that detail.

For little fluffballs that don't appear to move around a lot, though, they were amazingly adept at getting into places where they weren't wanted.

I fully support the idea of tribble/pet storage in a separate inventory tab as well as the idea of multiple bank tabs in general.

But I think there should be a small chance that any given tribble could manage to "get loose" into another repository occupied by food (from one bank tab to another, or from one inventory tab to another) while the character is active. Only those tribbles that are "equipped" would be guaranteed to stay put.

I would also propose that our character personal equipment UI ought to have a dedicated slot for pets (such as tribbles, hortas, targs, etc) apart from the device slots. We shouldn't have to give up a device slot to carry a tribble.

Having an actual, in-game, display for our tribbles would be fantastic, I agree.

Thanks for the full support Bluegeek. And I'd be all about some sort of "escape proc" that would keep us on our toes and keep Tribble Breeding a "hazardous sport". Something like the "failure proc" on the Excelsior's Transwarp... Sometimes it fails and there's a funny "car break down" sound effect, similar to what was heard in the movie when Scotty sabotages the Excel.

So yeah, I'm right there with you.

I've had to get around these problems by putting the Tribbles in the bank and the food in my inventory. meaning that half of my inventory is food.

Because of this, I've simply given up on Tribbles and slowly fed them to my cannibal , who has the responsibility of keeping the inventory clear of his cousins. He's very good, only one has managed to eat something since I got him.

Guild Wars 2 has a great system storing pets (and crafting materials).

One of those "wave of the future" type designs.

Pet's definitely happens to be one of STO's weak points.

I've never cared much for the Tribbles myself, but this is a pretty interesting idea.

I mean if people want to spend their game time farming tribbles in a fishtank... who am I to tell them no? Go forth young man.

I would like to see it be a GPL purchase. I think there should be more to do with that currency and there's room for expansion there. "Goofy things that more or less don't change the core game" is what it was supposed to be about I guess, and this would seem to qualify.

I concur 100%.

While thinking about about Alan the Cowboy (aka "The May Update"), I have the following thoughts/concerns/hopes:

1) I presume there will be another test tribble. If there is one, Devs please do not lock this one to the character (ie unable to be held by BOffs) like the Fleet and Mol'Rihan tribbles.

2) Considering there will be trait and other UI updates during Alan the Cowboy, I hope the Devs can remove the lock on the existing S6 & S7 tribbles to allow them to be held by our BOffs as all previous test tribbles.

3) While you're tinkering with the UI, please consider adding the Tribble Terrarium and/or some other form of bank partitioning (similar to Fleet Banks) to allows us multiple zones to store our existing tribbles away from foodstuffs.

Thanks.
