Since AE missions can be tagged with alignment I wonder if the mission alignment will effect our alignment direction when ’Going Rogue’ hits.

The AE mission tagging is just a suggestion; there's nothing stopping heroes from playing "villainous" missions and vice versa. I don't see GR affecting it one way or the other.

And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines

That was my suspicion as well. I noticed that most regular COX missions also bear a villain or hero tag.

I'm not sure what you mean by most. I've leveled a new villain from 7 to 30 in the last couple weeks and noticed that most missions had no tag at all. Contact missions, not paper ones. Maybe only story arcs and certain missions have the Villain tag?

Only Story Arcs and Badge missions are so tagged. If you look at your missions list when you are on an arc you will see either Villain or Hero pasted across it. 90% of the missions contacts on villainside give out are part of an arc. All of those arc missions are tagged as Villain.

I would assume that you haven't actually used very many contacts if you haven't seen a majority of tagged arc missions. Or maybe you simply aren't looking in the right place?

By level 30 on villainside I will have done 23-24 arcs on most of my villains, more if I actually unlock and do some of the unlockable content.

I'm guessing you've done maybe 4-5 arcs with your new villain, skipping a majority of additional contacts by doing Paper and Mayhem missions and outleveling them. You may not realize you're missing them, but you are.
