Ruining the Phantoms.

[sindroms]

- The Phantoms will not be a 'Shoot everyone everywhere' terrorist faction anymore

Then those are not the Phantoms then.
The phantoms were the only, mind, only faction from back in my memory, where having them pop up on the scanner meant certain death. Flee or be killed, if you even can. It was thrilling, scary and you know you could not reason with it.

You could not even fight it, because their ships were indeed better. That was the thing about the Phantoms. That is what made them Phantoms.

Removing those two things would ruin the faction. Imho, if you wanted to remove it just because of that, then keep them removed and let us bask in memories when they were a threat.

Please do not ruin them. Do not try and defang them in order to have them fit in the very strict lore and rule driven Discovery of 7 years later.

Discuss and vote. I am not the person, who whines about additions and removal of things by the devs, no matter how odd they may seem, but I would really hate for this to happen. A watered down version of a truly remarkable enemy we oldfarts used to face back in 07 08.

My take on this. If you are going to bring them back, bring them back as they were. A small group of HIGHLY skilled players, flying terrorist IDs and given access to specifically unbalanced ships to cause threat and fear to the opposing forces.

Or don't bring them back at all.

Least of all, do not make them public.
