I'd love to see a special event, maybe for a weekend, where you can do some sort of pve, or a new mission/quest, where you can capture an opposing faction vessel.
It would be a random vessel of a decent tier. Like a fed toon acquires, say a Nausican cruiser or a Hapax warbird.. Or a KDF toon captures a star cruiser or a nebula class. Romulans can get the opposing ship of who their are aligned with.
Would be sorta interesting, I think.

Like, to keep? Or just to take out for a spin during a mission, like we do with the Obelisk, Dyson, etc.?
Not to keep certainly.
I don't think it would be very possible to do a random ship, but that's for the Devs to declare or not.
I like the general idea to fly other factions' ships during certain missions. After all, the Feds get to take a BoP for a spin during the Doomsday Machine mission and all the KDF got to fly was a lousy runabout.

Like kids did back in the day with G.I. Joes, baseball cards, and PAWGs (POGGS?)
Sorry to sound rude,
nope. never happen not when people spend real world money on Connies and bug ships
without knowing that not only the ship but also the weapons stats were evenly matched there is way too much risk of losing your ship.
in any case seeing as it would be prohibited by cryptic to use free event ships as they are reclaimable as are c-store ships the only ships you would be able to use would be the free levelling ships anyway.
of course you could gamble lockbox ships but when you consider the lengths players go to get these its highly unlikely anyone would want to gamble with them.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
That's certainly the only real way to justify doing it. I might suggest that if you did that you only got 5 uses out of it though (to keep interest in the event and to not overload the admiralty roster with endless ships.
But the thing is.... theoretically by the time you are an admiral, the storyline has got to a point where the factions are cooperating more and more... and it makes no sense to nick other factions ships and you certainly should not be taking Romulan ships at all... unless you are taking them from the Tal Shiar.

With all due respect to the player who suggested this business about playing for keeps with ships...NO! I would never play that mode. I'm not sure which I would hate more, taking someone's ship from them or losing one that way. Also, it would be too easy for cheaters to break the system, transferring ships from one account to the other, trading account bound ships and such. If, though, you and your friends want to gamble with ships this way, you could always agree that the loser will buy the winner one from the exchange. I don't recommend doing this, but I guess it could be done by those who want that mechanic in the game.
Also, another cool thing is, with diplomacy....how ya can get an opposing faction Boff, well, why not a ship?
