Mixed teams

So now that Klinks can come into queus with fed and that the war is over can we please have mixed klink and fed teams for pvp (maybe even some pve). If you want make it depended on diplomacy and maurader that would even be ok. But I think it would boost klink playability if we were able to team up with fed characters and vicersa.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]-32nd Vipers- PvP Team
Nothing is impossible to him who would try.... except getting cryptic to care about pvp.

For everything that happens after the end of the war, sure...but it couldn't take place for things that happen before the end of the war...since the war wouldn't have ended yet.
Well, you could call it a simulation. Since the Undine are so strong it would make sense to get as much joint combat practice as you could.

Oh, I get it for the PvP queues and so forth...but it would be temporally problematic for things like Ker'rat.
So, imho, basically if something allows for mixed teams - why not allow for mixed premade teams...but if it doesn't allow for mixed teams, well then there wouldn't be mixed premade teams since there wouldn't be mixed teams anyway.
Similarly all the endgame STF/new content pve has been designed as one-size-fits-all, with enemies that are universally hostile.
However pre-endgame content and pretty much every other mission in the game is not designed the same way. Rather, enemies are flagged hostile based on faction. This means that a cross faction team running fed content would see various enemies being allied with the klingon playing the mission which would cause all sorts of issues.
Fixing this to allow for cross faction teaming would require Cryptic to go through and republish literally every single mission in the game, to say nothing of changing how the foundry works and flags enemies, and then having to republish literally every foundry mission in existence to account for the new updates.
There is no 'easy' way to do this, and there's no easy way to make cross faction teams 'only for pvp'.
There is a potentially simple solution to future proof for this sort of thing, but it would still require going back and updating and republishing all prior missions. So I guess the question is really how many months do you want Cryptic to spend on this?
To be honest I don't really care for pve that much. It would be nice but I'm more interested about pvp. There many of us in the pvp community that would like to play with our klink characters as well as with our fed friends. And there really isn't much reason not to do it now.

I know many people who regularly pvp that have klinks characters they barely touch. Mixed teams, at the very least for pvp, would greatly change this.

This. A thousand times this. They should let pve'ers and rp'ers have their corner and pvpers have the other. But cross faction teaming should be next. At the very least make it a diplomacy unlock so people have to at least work for it.
I mean, they clearly can block some things off. They made it so if you are in a 5 man team the one-two man queue does not show so why not allow us to team up only for pvp.
At this point there is really no reason to.
