Phantoms - Good, Bad or Ugly?

[Izu Riekon]

So I notice that no one plays Phantoms here. Why is this?

I have been around here longer than my forum account would suggest and I have heard many reasons. The ships/equipment are OP. The lore doesn't make sense. The ID is broken. But none of these things are unrepairable so I keep wondering why no one has picked this up and fixed this broken toy. There is a great system and two bases out there that could be being used.

I played for many years on another server and wrote a complete lore rewrite for the Phantoms there, which the community voted in and is still to this day server lore on that server.

So I guess my question is "If someone came along and had a really good lore rewrite for the Phantoms to make them playable again, would it be considered?" I should point out that this is original lore, not ripped off any cheese-flavoured sci-fi gimmick stuff.

Would like some official word on this, and if the material is asked for I will produce it for your consideration.
