Intergalactic alliances between different companies

[Wild-B]

I play a VRU, but, I have had a lot of help from some EIC and MMO players like NoBadDayz and Nuff_Said_Dead84, not only through the global chat, but in the maps helping with aliens or other players.
My proposal is this - allow a system in the Clan area to allow alliances between different clans, including clans from other companies.
The "in-game" benefit - allying with a clan from a different company would allow the allies to count as whichever company whose territory they are in as long as they are accompanied by a member of their alliance for purposes of honor should they be attacked by someone else in company. Allies could help each other complete quests in enemy territories and be able to form multi-company alliances in the battlemaps to help with an especially "hated" player or clan.
The "meta-game" benefit - this would allow online friends to play whichever company they like, and still be able to play with friends of different factions. Everyone can play what they want (VRU, MMO, EIC) and still play with their friends from a different company.
Mechanics - Much like initially applying to a clan, a drop down bar showing the clans from different companies for creating an alliance. Choosing one would cost X in credits (possibly 300,000 credits like establishing a clan), and would need to be paid by either 1 or both clans entering into the alliance.

I would like this, however, most people would get alliances with same companies

[Wild-B]

Most would, however, I believe that some would use it to form alliances with other clans in other companies, simply because the other players are their friends.
The alliance could be temporary (both clans want to get a 3rd clan from a different company because of past problems) or could be long term.
This would be much like being a member of a clan. How long you stay would be up to both parties involved.

yes but it also will result in 2 of the best clans teaming up to kill a whole company and do you realy wan 200 elite goli's hunting togetter on your maps think about what you are exactly saying

No whats funny about this idea. If you help other companies you are a traitor. Thats means most players in your company will target you if you are working with the enemy. If you want to be in a clan with your friends join one company.

You cant ever do that cause this game was MADE for you to fight with the other companies and protect your own. As they ALL say it
"Its part of the game"... well it is the game:D

Yes... Remember the companies are at war with each other... While I can understand the concept of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", active warfare tends to discourage that.

On an individual level, I can see honourable conduct happening (refusing to fire on enemy phoenixes for example), but at an organized level I think it would be considered traitorous.

This has already happened a few weeks ago The Elites from MMO / EIC teamed up against VRU and in the main battle ty we wooped they but LOL.... MMO /EIC went down lol... then after we split up a bit they owned us but oh well....
