There is a rule that states "When reporting for duty, both the card reporting and the facility it reports to must be in their native quadrants."
However, Ferengi Trading Post does not simply rely on its status as an outpost to allow reporting. It has special text that reads: "Each player's non-Borg cards may report and mix aboard regardless of affiliation."
There is nothing to suggest that this special text is inoperable when the the Trading Post is in another quadrant. I can see someone saying "No, it just allows reporting regardless of affiliation -- not regardless of what quadrant the facility is in." But look closely, and you see that the special text also allows the other player's cards to report, so it's not *just* eliminating the affiliation reproting restriction -- the special text itself allows the cards to report.
In fact, if this card weren't an outpost, or weren't even a facility the special text would work exactly the same way.
(Obviously i would be relying on Construct Starshipto download the outpost outside its native quadrant.)
I'm thinking about this because I've noticed that the Mirror Quadrant does not have a any kind of non-aligned, neutral or other facilities allowing reporting of any non-Borg affiliation, the way the Alpha and Delta Quadrants do.
