It's an interesting question. My guess is no... but who knows?
It's inexplicable and just *slightly* insulting that they are making such profound changes to the game and doing such an absolutely horrible job explaining just how broad in scope those changes actually are.
Why are people asking about bridge officers, teaming, and other stuff that was never mentioned, or implied, in the original announcement like its a big mystery?
No. the change is for ships, and only ships. If it was about anything else they would have said as much.
It's only ships for now. Who knows what else may become defactioned in the future. If it works with ships, it technically can work for anything that is currently faction specific. Ships are just a very logical starting point.
By this time next year, playing as faction 0 may actually be a thing...
Faction 0 won't be a thing unless they get rid of the Fed/KDF war arc right at the begin. They'll still need both main factions until then, which I can 99% say they will not get rid of that arc, especially as it's setting up the Iconian War.
"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.

But that would remove any reason for me to play KDF...
