Separate Slot For Equiping Pets

I adore my pets. I don't have a ton of them, but they're all terribly cute and seem to really like me.

That said, I don't really take them out much since I have to sacrifice an equipment slot that could go to much better use when adventuring. It would be absolutely fantastic if we had an extra slot (rather than having to use a gear slot) to use for summoning our pets. A little independent box that would just be for our critters so they don't have to sit in a chest while we're out tearing planets apart, you know?

Personally, I think the pet should go in the ammo slot.

Your suggestion would be cool. And/or more pet stats, so that they are more compelling versus giving up a trinket.

Or making us able to give to trinket item to the pet
