A 4th Anniversary Cross-Faction Request

jplatimer

In January, our Fleet is going to be celebrating our fourth anniversary, and we decided to make a party of it at our starbase -- where we're holding contests, hanging out, and generally goofing off with one another.

However, many of our fleeties prefer their Klingon characters -- and we cannot invite cross-faction to our own starbase. I imagine there's good reasoning as to why -- cross faction weapon buying, or something like that. But I'm hoping exceptions can be made.

It would be terrific if we could somehow get past this limitation, and invite our Klingon Fleet and Fed fleet together at our base -- perhaps a Visa or One-time passport for the ability. If the war is ending soon, as seems to be the rumor, it would be a nifty perk to allow friends to mix and match in SB private zones, as seem to be possible on your own bridges where you can invite the opposing faction without an issue.

It would be a very nifty gift for our Fleet's fourth birthday. Please consider it.

Thanks for reading.

We use ship invites instead... I know people love their fleets, but the romulan ships are often better suited.

And Congrats on the 4'th... Didn know there were any pre-launch fleets left.

Clearly, there is a such thing as cross-faction social zones. Our holiday events show us that it's possible. The faction-specific starbase stores would need to be tagged to prevent sale to those who are non-aligned to it. Would that be more involved than a our holiday stores? Most assuredly. But I'm honestly surprised that this hasn't already been implemented.

Thanks for the on-the-bridge idea. We can fall back to that.

We're small, but dedicated -- and I'm very pleased with the fleeties for sticking with it.

I'd love to know another place I could post this where it might be read by developers, but this seems like the best I can do.

Appreciate the ideas, muchly.

I can't remember what bridge it is, but there's one that's frickin' huge, so that would probably be a decent way for you to go. And haven't looked at the rec deck, on a bridge style set to "Large", but I'd bet it'd be pretty suitable for a fleet gathering.

The oddy bridge is pretty big

Again, thank you for the ideas.

Aquarius (Odyssey) and Bortas bridges are massive. They make for good parties.

The only problem with using ship and bridge's for ones private parties is they are apparently limited to only 20 visitors... bit on the slim side for the larger fleets and guests lists.

I personally can see a story/lore reason to restrict base invites to same faction... Even if I think that considering the muddled state of the KDF Fed war reders the point somewhat moot.

I don't even know what the pop cap on fleet bases is for that matter, but I am hoping its more then 20.. But I also cannot think of any really decent reason to restrict cross faction invites to fleet bases, when you CAN cross faction invite to star ships.

Still think it should be do-able.
