KDF & FED team up.

I think being able to team up Fed and Kdf together to do missions and Patrols would a great addition to the game, just like you can do in PVE/STF que's. They are now allies in the game, (after Surface Tension i believe). So i think they could look into changing this as I'd love to be able team up with my Fellow Fed Fleet Mates 
Esp when we do runs like Elite Tau Dewa Sector Patrol Runs, and Elite Mission Replays which is MEGA fun
Just a thought......

Thats because the tailor is bugged & i havent change my uniform for 2 years,,,,,
Since most players I know favor fed side and the fact that team-ups between factions don’t work I claim that this ended me up with 7 federation characters and 2 kdf ones after close to 4 years of STO.
I admit that I also prefer to play fed side a bit more however if I had better team up options kdf side I think I would have had 5 fed and 4 kdf by now. There were simply too few for me which I took into account when making new toons.
In my opinion, the way it stands, the cross faction team up boundary puts the kdf side on a particular disadvantage where a minority gets penalized unnecessary in addition to the disadvantages they already have to deal with.
I also find any “KDF-pride” about purity and integrity about that faction misplaced here. I just want to play and team-up with my friends and don’t want to care about if I or they are currently sit on a fed or kdf character.

For example. it would be silly for a KDF player to ask a Fed player to team up in "Second Star To The Right, Straight On 'Til Morning" which involves an assault on Utopia Planitia Shipyards at Mars.
You're completely incorrect.
The last time we were in ESD, we shot your sentries, killed your bartenders in Club47 (serving watered down drinks is a death penalty; Humanity is slipping in its booze), and threw some parties at FAdm Quinn's office.
And we still had time to blow TRIBBLE up afterwards with a hangover
hehehe lol

I'm new to the game (since Qmas 2015) but I find the factioning pointless and infuriating in the PVE senarios.
While I can agree with no teaming in the earliest missions where they're actually at war and killing each other- there need to be some exceptions such as the very ones where the dialogue itself says they're fighting for the same cause and the minor in-game story sections even say so to support this.
Examples include the entire DS9 and Bajor arc plus ALL OF DEFERA. I put that last in caps because there is little more infuriating then being in a KDF hards team at 2/5 when 3 is needed and all you see around you are feds.... who in some cases are also shouting out in zone chat "Fed Hards 2/5." Oh yes.... the factioning in many parts of the game is not only pointlessly frustrating to players but runs COUNTER to the mission story dialogue. Both NPC's that greet you on world say we're fighting the Borg together.
Are we? Are we indeed?!
"Sorry hapless Defera natives I'd love to hep you but the only other person who gives a toss about teaming up is in the wrong faction. Sorry... Save yah from the nasty cyborgs later."
Yes I know now that a certain custom channel exists but- One should not need /join_channel KDFDefera just to get this stuff done.... But sadly I often do.
I would also argue- maybe Nimbus too since the entire mission arc is the same regardless of faction... Your all there to crack down on renegade Orion Syndicate members selling bad things to bad people. Though it would be nice if Romulan players got a nice cutscene for a certain moment that the whole team could see. I'm still not sure why... with all the build up- there isn't one. That's another issue altogether.
Anyway... Just the opinion of someone new to the game who believes any game that doesn't have a WoW level population player-base, needlessly separating said player-base.... is quite possibly crippling their own game, profit and ultimately player enjoyment.
Peace all.
Perhaps do it for the dead queues?
Just saying because after some testing the past month I happen to think that I as well as a dozen friends of mine are the only ones left in STO playing public queues. I hereby postulate such a change would raise the queue participation by up to 300%!!! Wouldn’t that be something Devs?
Here is some statistically representative chat explanation to why cross faction team ups could bring live to queues:
[Private Community Chat] Qirr@friend#1: I need some Undine marks for my kling and try to queue up for UAA. Anybody for team up and pug?
[Private Community Chat] Neela@peterconnorfirst: Haven’t done this map in a while and would join. I hop KDF.
[Private Community Chat] Xevon@friend#2: I would be in too but want my undine set for a fed toon.
[Private Community Chat] Ice@fleetmate#1: + but I only have a fed char
[Private Community Chat] Chameleon@peterconnorfirst: Ok. Anybody else? We can't queue and need fife for private so one more please.
[Private Community Chat] Xevon@friend#2: It’s not a thing I can also go to battle zone, boring as hell but gets the job done.
[Private Community Chat] Chameleon@peterconnorfirst: No wait, I check with DPS peeps.
[DPS-Silver] Chameleon@peterconnorfirst: lf1m UAA
[DPS-Silver] No Need for a Tank@friend#3: +
[DPS-Silver] Chameleon@peterconnorfirst: UAA fty
Now this could have easily been a homerun queue for some random STO player who would have gotten a fun and successful public match out of it and who would be eager to join the next one.
Instead it remains Undine Assault Advanced: -:- in queue list.
Happens twice an hour for me that way so STO business as usual I guess.

Don't mind my smell though, don't hate the player, hate the tailor (bug)
Its about time we call Shaka to make the walls fall.
Allow those that want to team up Fed and KDF to team up. It won't force anybody, and its possible for those teams to exist outside of queues. There already is a workaround to create cross-faction teams, it just takes time. And with those cross-faction teams, even Defera was playable, as well as the Dyson battlezone. Everybody got their reward.
So I won't buy anybody telling me that cross-faction teaming is impossible due to mechanical limitation.
In fact, I'd say we even should take this one step further, and allow cross-faction Armadas. Give us the option to unite Fed and KDF armadas. Those who are against any form of interaction with the other faction can still opt not to do this, but those of us who rather have their sides united can do this.
I literally see no drawbacks for allowing cross-faction teaming and formation of armadas. And I know for a fact that the teaming issue only exists because the server didn't give the option to join team so far. And now that Red vs Blue is an early-game illusion, with even the PvP queues changed to mix the factions... its about time we mix them properly.

Cross-faction teaming, cross-faction Armadas, access to eachothers fleet starbase. Yes, yes, and yes!

Quoted for truth. Having a hard break between the Republic is so, so annoying. Allowing cross-faction teams would default allow for all Republic players to play together, too.
It just needs to be done. Everyone's on the same side again, unless Cryptic is planning to have the Feds and KDF at each other's throats again during the Temporal War arc.

Roughly removing the teaming barrier, the eradication of the zone channel and replaced with an alliance(cross faction map channel), introducing a function of becoming the fleet admiral/captain of a map so that players can organize easier without needing too much communication. Then introduce fleet store items that can give players boosts and make more use of fleets and at the same time helping with recruitment when using these items.
Anyways that is my 2 cents on it since I'd rather see the game standing on its feet rather than dying off.
Have to agree with this too. The way the factional choice was implemented, set up the Romulan Republic to potentially be fighting against each other (in theory), of which makes no sense. I'm sure that a code could be created to allow Romulan players to enter into either Klingon or Fed servers at the click of a button. Both can enter DS9. Why not allow a "comms channel open for permission to enter Fed or KDF space.
Another idea is once players reach level 60, they have freedom to travel everywhere as an open server. I thought this would be suitable for a Ferengi faction whereby there are no obstacles to exploitation and profit.
Personally though, I would have liked the Romulans to have had there own faction. Could have allowed Fed & KDF to share Romulan server once level 60. Then once Romulan players reach level 60, they have the same freedom. If the Iconian War was limited to level 60, the full freedom to travel to all factional space (as with ability to go to DS9) would fit with the storyline with the alliance formation.
Is there any reason this wouldn't work? Or is this too simplistic and I'm missing something?
-"We want cross-faction teaming (after a certain level or completed episode) but we're [as much as can be inferred] not actively working on it at this time. Maybe later."
