I think it would be cool if we could take a single character on an account and let him defect to the opposing faction taking all of his items with him. Just let me take (for example) a Starfleet Engineer I do very little with and shove him into the KDF. Make it a for fee add on and limit to a single character per account if they want. I'm sure I'm a long way from the first from having this thought. I think a lot of folks would be interested in that.
Anyways...let my public flogging begin. lol

Also, the Klingons will far more likely take that Starfleet ship off your hands and give you some rickety Klingon ship. Either way, you lose your Starfleet ships.
You would not be keeping your starship. The KDF would want to take a close look at it, and want to know all of the security codes too.
I would guess that Starfleet Intelligence/Section 31 probably has some inside people on all Federation starships to prevent just that. I also cannot imagine an entire crew compliment wanting to go along for the ride.
At best you would be stripped of all your ships, Duty officers (why would they join you), Omega reputation as earned with Starfleet, and any rewards that went with it, and any other faction specific things.
So, not a good thing. Better to just roll up a new KDF character.
Also, I cannot imagine Franklin Drake allowing you to keep breathing with your security codes and such.
As far as business goes, Already paid for, take it away and there will be hell. No business wants to deal with that.
In game, you've just brought a state of the art ship to the enemy. You think they'll leave their new prize and the one who brought it to them out to dry?
The answer is no.
However it would be nice if they locked you into that ship.
No swapping ships (Except small craft of new unlocks for your new faction) you would lose access to your other ships as they'd be locked up in Federation territory (But in order to keep players happy you could still pull your items off of the ships that are stored, minus ship specific equipment.).
Say it was a friend still in the Federation granting you access or something.
On topic, why is it that every MMO has those people who want to defect to the other side all the time? ********, Star Wars, Everquest etc. Really, you have the option already to roll a character of the desired faction, why do you need to defect?
I wish every time a player asks for a defection mechanic, the Devs would trace their account, delete their characters and leave them an email saying "Your characters have been found guilty of high treason and have been executed for their crimes against their faction." Because clearly we cannot trust these people to fight with us.
