Hi folks.
I recently tried inviting an old KDF fleet to our Fed armada. The invite sends fine but I cannot accept it (clicking the button does nothing). Decline works OK.
My question is, is it a bug I can send this invite, as it used to keep Fed & KDF fleets segregated, or is it a bug I can't accept the invite?
Personally I'm hoping we have the option to merge them now in the Armada system especially given the way the story of the game has gone.
You cannot invite KDF fleets into a Fed Armada and vice versa. It is something that has been requested, however technically it's a game-breaker as KDF has a huge arc where you are fighting Feds.
"You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.
I hear what your saying but it wouldn't really break anything it just may not make sense for new characters. It could be a fleet unlock or have such armadas only open to characters that have done a certain mission chain etc. It'd only get weird when newer characters joined a standard fleet that then hooked up with the opposing faction before they progressed the story. Id imagine that'd be a small amount of people. Id love to see this happen. Even folks that don't want it can obviously just not do it.
Regardless thanks for confirming the current state
Yes a few players would welcome a merging, however, as I pointed out, story-wise it would be a mess for characters that hadn't completed the storylines and the Dev's have already stated that it wouldn't happen because of the amount of re-coding they would need to do. The easiest option for 'teaming' is to allow the factions to crossteam for the latter arcs. However, as one of my KDF is a delusional ex-Starfleet officer, he would be mightly upset...lol
