I personally think this is the best idea i've ever heard. Being a member of an until recently Tri-Org faction i think this would solve alot of the problems that has for the moment knocked that idea on the head.
Being able to communicate with the other factions in such a way would save having to whisper everyone individually or only be able to commincate with the six other folk on your team if you have something wanting said you don't want everyone in area chat to hear.
I think it would be cool if you could do this, with say a max amount of three factions being able to all chat to each other under this system.

this is slightly unrelated, but how many people fit on a crew? Is it 12? you need two crews in order to form a faction which = 24 people if both crews are full. I just think that crews should actually be used more often in a way other than a tool to joining a faction. So for a tri-org faction as you called it, just make 3 crews, divide your members, and form a faction under 1 flag. I just think better things could be worked on than a chat system.
I think this is a fantastic idea.
Being able to contact multiple factions in like an allience chat would be great for both RP and PVP. The only down side i could see with it would be a possibility of spam in this channel.
It also got me to thinking. Would it be possible for said tri-org / neutral factions to not carry an allience tag or even a neutral tag. So like <faction - neutral>
If that was possible what would the implecations be for PVP though?

Also with a Neutral tag.... what about LE's? I'd be strange to have neutral people in an event that could be against another org just to have them working with the other org the next event. I shouldn't think that people would give up on LE's just to have the Neutral tag....
Well that could be interesting in terms of RP. Think of the potential for spying and dirty cloak and dagger type business that could be done.. if you're that way inclined ha.
I do understand your point though.

Organization channel is a good idea: The way it is now absolutely everyone is member of one of three Organizations: The one they have highest reputation with. Means: They have a chat system that connects them with others of their kind. That would reduce the "Factionism" phenomenon a bit that's extremely spread on MxO. You have to be member of a Faction to have a larger basis of comms with people of your Organization.
An Org channel would encourage non-factioned crews or non-crewed operatives without being stuck in a lonely box. And an Org channel could facilitate faction recruitment or tutorials for new players that aren't members of factions yet.
So here goes a big fat

An Org channel would be (at least I think it would) easier to implement then a multpile faction channel. For a multi faction channel there would have to be a way for a user to select which factions to join with and add them to the chat channel...
Mind you an Org channel is open to abuse....
