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 spoke to Ben about this issue. Report: He doesn't agree with the idea of lockers during travelling, but agrees with the idea of agencies having to pay to have case storeage while abroad. So, maybe, we'll be having small field offices available to buy soon. ****YaY, for Ben!!!****

Just a note to keep this semi-simple (for Ben) and still a challenge for all of us.

Have the field office pay rent for storage as is mentioned. But the caveat I would add is you have to pay rent in that city, not from your home cities bank account. The shuffling of money then falls back to the player rather than the program automaticaly taking care of things.

That way a big powerful agency that can have people scattered in all the cities will have an increased larger drain on resources (money sink) while a smaller agency with only a home city office would be able to keep afloat.

Of course this is leading down the path of Large Multi-City Agencies with multiple home offices and huge staffs. And that would unbalance the game tremendously. I can see why to limit it now, and stop the escalation.
