Super Groups and Side Switchin

I have read thru the patch notes, and get the concept of a toon "going dark" when switching over to the opposing faction. My question is, can my villain that becomes a hero then join a blueside SG? How does this effect that toons status in their previous VG? I would appreciate any insite on this, as I have two very small groups on the same server, one red and one blue, and it would be wonderful if my toons could have some type of divided loyalty and be members of both.

P.S. If this has been asked before, sorry. I really did try and search for the answer first, but my search-fu is practically non-existent.

You can only be in 1 SG at a time, and if your "villain" AT has crossed over, he/she can join a blueside SG, but you'll have to quit the redside VG first.

If you're a member of a VG and turn to Hero alignment, you remain a member of the VG (even though you can't access its base) until you quit it. If you return to Villain alignment without joining another SG inbetween, your access is restored and your prestige earned remains the same.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was expecting...just hoping.

That sux. This situation for me like rotten apple in the barrel.

I hope that such restrictions were imposed due to lack of resources and tight deadline for GR/i18 release, but I would like to know, if anyone get any indication from devs that they planning to address it going forward.

I don't really see the devs allowing characters to join two supergroups at the same time.

Rogue and Vigilantes are supposed to be 'tourists' on the other side of the game. They aren't intended to have full access to the amenties, or to have more advantages than heroes and villains. Frankly, I'm pleasantly surprised that my Vigilante blaster can use the redside base portals to get into her blueside SG.
