Cross-faction contact is awesome. The ability to actively converse with your enemies in-game without need of a third party system isn't revolutionary, but it's a pleasant surprise for the likes of people who spent their time in the MMORPG that will not be named. For most, it's a continuation of a good idea for folks who have played Star Wars Galaxies, Age of Conan, and mostly every other MMO that tries to be its own universe.

For role-players, that presents many new, exciting opportunities. Guild or group rivalries can have dialogue between the bloody brawls and potential dismemberment or blaster scarring. Shady independent bounty hunters or smugglers get to see their services to the opposite faction and still get their credits for a job well done. Even the ever resourceful intelligence agents have the chance to actively gather information on their mark by sitting down and having a drink with the person they need to know every little detail about.

This Reporter's question is this: Do you do cross-faction deals? Be you soldier, spy, civilian or force sensitive, do you do deals with those clearly marked as a potential enemy? Are you willing to, or are you against this kind of thing? Tell us in the comments!
