...i think a subscriber ought to be able to store these two type of
cases...it would also add an incentive to be a subscriber...

Favor storage was tried once. It was found to just totally mess up hunts, making them too easy. If you dig through the Subscriber Center message boards you can find that little story.

Subscribers already have the added bonus of storing cases period. Favor storage isn't really practical idea. FM storage...eh...don't know. I haven't spent a lot of time on FM's until the Doomsayer trilogy.

Yes, favor storage makes treasure hunts go REALLY fast. Probably a matter of minutes with a fully agency.

Featured Mysteries are intended for a single player to play through without help. I suppose I would not be opposed to allowing people to store featured mysteries as PRIVATE case files, but honestly, I'm not sure what the point would be. You are, after all, allowed to get as many quits or false accusations as you like in featured mysteries, so you can always start them over later.

By their basic design, there's no point to storing a feature mystery. They're fully scripted. Storage is only useful for randomly generated mysteries.
