Three year old can't even form a complete sentence much less hold a phone without dropping it. I can't believe someone would even suggest that with a straight face

It’s probably the most valuable thing Niantic could sell/rent that wouldn’t upset the game dynamics too much , key lockers or even very big key lockers
Extra key capsules
Dear NIA,
It has been a while since key duplication was a thing, and since it is not coming back, would it not be great to have some extra capsules. Over the years the amount of portals has greatly increased, but not the number of key capsules. I think they would be handy for agents that play locally and keep their hood blue or green. And also handy for the agents that like to field, as we are always struggling for space. It would be greatly appreciated by some of us to have some more space to store keys.
Thanks in advance for considering,
Disturbinator
Re: Machina spread is too slow for active areas
You said "if no human player has done anything". But recharging is doing something. I wouldn't be a fan of Machina instantly taking over portals that I'd been recharging.
(Fun fact: that actually happened this week. There were some portals with 6 days' decay that should have been green but I think they must have double-decayed. As soon as they were grey, Machina linked to them.)
Concerning future of First Saturdays & Second Sundays.
First of all... First Saturday is a dying breed that has been heavily damaged by virtual events thats been on for far too long. Players stopped going once gets the onyx badge, zero motivation to actually wintrade these days - only socialise or get uniques.... At least for my area where we usually get solid 10+ res but inconsistent ENL numbers, usually only 3.
Solution? Change the badge/event name & get rid of first saturday restriction therefore make it an actual community day to be in line with other NIA games (Pikmin, Pokemon etc).
Second Sunday, promising concept that can use bounties but just a silly name. Change it as well....
UI request: Change location of Bounty Button
Even though I know this will go nowhere, I would like to see the button for the bounties on the main UI to be moved either up with the filter button or just removed from the main scanner screen altogether. Reason being that button gets in the way when initially clicking remote charge and then to the boost charge and having to click out of the bounties list every time I click to remote charge a portal is very frustrating. That's tapping recharge and then muscle memory to boost charge right after. Really it doesn't need to be there anyway, it can just go into the menu similar to Missions. We also don't need more UI clutter on the main screen.

Re: Small feature request: Optionally display wings when stats are private
@starwort It's possible, but it seems more likely to me that the decision is made server-side. That's based on nothing but instinct, but that instinct is honed by a few decades in software engineering.
Re: Small feature request: Optionally display wings when stats are private
[Warning: pure speculation follows.]
Wings were added as a bolt-on to the pre-existing profile. The logic for displaying wings on badges is almost certainly to look up the stat for that badge and display the wings if the value is high enough. But if the person has their stats private then you don't have that number* and thus cannot display the wings. Therefore a redesign and a data-backfill would be required to add a 'has-wings' flag to each badge on the profile.
[*] I would hope that the stat numbers for someone with private stats are never sent to the client, not that they are sent but the client decides not to show them. The latter would be sure to lead to data leaks.
