I will do my best to describe what I am proposing clearly. What I am suggesting is allowing Klingons, and Future Romulans to share the same Fleet Title, Fleet Chat, Fleet Services ie (fleet bank, etc), Fleet Bases. While maintaining different fleet logo's and fleet uniforms for each faction. Each faction would carry on their on faction activities and draw upon their fleet members to log over to the faction currently looking for help or their activity.
For Example Hierarchy of such a system would look like this: (Ignore the periods I couldn't get it to format properly, but if you can suggest the proper way to format, please do so an I will edit the post clearly.)
*Fleet Actions and raiding and grouping can still be performed under the the appropriate faction, while maintaining a unified social structure and not isolating fleet members who prefer to play different factions from members of a fleet group they prefer to play with.
* I know some of you may argue that we should just create a chat channel, but that seems bulky and a little bit hard to manage to get everyone on the same track. In this method I proposed we are able automatically be joined together in fleet chat and socially interact and share a fleet bank and share a FLEET BASE system that eventually will be added since some of the key developers are strongly interested in implementing one day as mentioned by Developers and Staff in previous posts, and any other fleet services.
* I believe This will help social interaction and maintaining fleet relationships in Star Trek Online, and create a better community interaction, and may even allow for shared fleet goals.
* I also believe it will maintain the separation of canon in accordance to Star Trek Lore while improving social interaction in Star trek Online.
I think this would be a good idea, as there are many "gaming groups" that support/use many factions & races.
Perhaps if this was terribly difficult to implement, it might be easier to do things like linked chat, or a linked bank (e.g.: bank transfers), adding to what is already there instead of rebuilding.
I will def support this thread ... I cant tell you the amount of times Ive wanted to group with klingons ... or even have a romulan character / ship and mix things.
Sounds like a really good idea, if they can implement new ship interoirs and create a completely separate meeting place for Life Subscribers, i.e. The Captains Table, then I don't see why you couldn't have a joint staging area for those factions and for future ones also.

Exactly, since there has been very little opposition to this idea I assume the majority like the idea.
Do this and you ruin any plans of a potential realm-vs-realm-like setup that Cryptic could have been planning in the future with the 3-way between Fed/Kling/Rom.
I hate it. First of all, I'm against the blurring of sides in a game that's supposed to be about an all-on-all war. If you refuse to take sides, then yes, you should be responsible for maintaining your own communication channels. And secondly I oppose it because someone keeps spamming requests to comment on this dumb idea in the TTS channel. And, thirdly, I oppose it because the original poster doesn't seem to realize that Cryptic doesn't CARE how many signatures an online petition has, they judge suggestions on how much THEY like them, not how much the Forum Cabal likes them.

I guess your idea of SPAM is warped because I've only linked it once in TTS since I linked it last on the 16th of June. Also Cryptic specified it is our responsibility to drum up support in a positive way. And secondly, you need to hang out on IRC more if you think Cryptic doesn't care how many post in a thread about an idea. Because, I and my fellow IRC'ers talk to Cryptic STAFF daily on IRC. Third, Cryptic has specifically said to get an idea's priority increased is to drum up support in the community for it, which includes doing several things. Post a bug report for an idea, create a forum thread on the idea, get the STO community involved in the idea but making them aware of it, and providing a link to the forum post and a bug report ticket number for the idea to them on IRC. So obviously, you are severely misinformed InfamousBad, and need to educate yourself by joining us on IRC. Have a nice day and enjoy your game.

Um I think you are confused, because we all live under one realm or collection of instances in STO so therefore this in no way would affect 3 way pvp, as its only on a FLEET social level.

What he means is just because you won't use it to cheat doesn't mean there won't be a group of people out there actively trying to skew the battles. The game I came from it happened anyway but it would have been a whole lot easier to do, and harder to track who gets banned with a shared bank.
Well, if there was ever anything that Star Trek was decidedly about, it was all out war and racial segregation.
Star Trek was never about segregation and all out war, that only became canon because of DS9, which was not Roddenberry's brainchild afaik. Star Trek was about Tolerance and understanding and forming peaceful alliances.
Once the Romulans get here and Cardassians, I hope to see something like Klingons and Romulans somehow someway are Allies again, and Fed/ Cardassians are allied. Think about how PvP ques would look,
FvF FvK FvR FvC and every other combo, If you put F/C vs R/K you would have both cloaking factions and non "well semi non" cloaking factions on the same sides. There by increase matches because you could fill slots with memeber of either faction.
Kind of different from the OP but sort of the same.
Hmmm.... We use a custom channel for commo between our fleets and even our allies. Then when we want to talk we use Ventrilo. The system works very well methinks.

Perhaps I don't want my Klingons toon's in a different Fleet and want to manage all factions from one Fleet UI for its events, banking, and, fleet logo's, fleet permissions, without having to log into each toon for each faction I have. Remember Klingon and feds won't be the only faction available.

But I dig the idea altogether!

Well I'm sure the Cardassians can be added when Cryptic adds them as a faction :P
Oh, well I was going to support this, but not if the Cardies are involved. FORGET IT.
