I think it would be a neat new feature to be able to swap cases with other agents while in a field office. I'm not saying have storage or anything, but simply have 2 agents be on at the same time and both go into the office and have the option of "Swap Case with" and then choose a person who's also online and in the same field office...

I fully support River D's comment about supporting V Buster. I personally have had no problems traveling with gear that is +19 tough -1 smarts and -7 charm. I don't see why the perks would be needed. It would make the game too easy. There has to be a challenge or it gets real boring, real quick.

I think that trading cases should be an option while on the road and it wouldn't make the game too easy. Then, you could store the new equipment that you buy there and wouldn't have to sell what you already have. I like swapping outfits, I find it more helpful, not easier. Plus, I am at a catch-22 where skill points are hard to get and I still need skills. Plus, my teammates and I like sharing equipment, we swap all the time. Why not make more use of the realestate offices in each city. I am a Double Agent and join the line twice. :P

This would mean more work for Ben. :(

I'm not asking to make the game unrealistically easy. But how many times would you meet up with a fellow agent in real life and just swap file folders. I didn't even really care tooo much about the locker as much as being able to get help from a fellow agent while on the road. So we don't get files or lockers, but couldn't we just swap cases with another agent who is online and in that same city? Like the idea I had for the pop-up "Greyling would like to swap cases with you. Do you accept?"

Are you implying that both players must be holding a case for it to be possible for a swap to take place?

Well, I suppose that even just handing over a case to another agent would work, but the other agent wouldn't be able to be in the middle of a favor or anything like that.

Well, I think for there to be any merit to this idea that both players must be holding open cases.

*Wonders if Ben has seen Elsey's picket signs.* At least, it is Summer in Boulder, now. No need for campfires or electric socks, just sunscreen. I volunteer to be the doughnut and coffee runner. It's for a good cause. Go, Elsey! :)

ben always enjoys my picket signs. Whether he notices them to begin with is another story. But once he sees them, he usually makes SOME response, whether a yes no or maybe...

What happen to the supporters you calling, Elsey? I think we need to encourage more people on this topic. *Sets up free doughnut and cofee table in front of Ben & Sunny's Door.* Maybe a vote is in order here. What happen to Jojo? Did he forget his sunscreen?
