Phantoms aren't revived or anything. Their new stuff will just be given a new, different use, that's it. The thread title is just "Phantoms 2.0" because I am sure that was way easier to type than "Something completely different that will use phantom tech and what they left behind, but it will under no circumstances be a revival of the phantoms"
The original title of the thread was "Admin Noticed: Phantoms are back" which sort of colors the whole first post rather differently.
They can use all the in-game assets all they want. I have a mild problem with using the name and modifying the lore of a faction that was killed purposefully by the leader. A decision backed by the founder.
I have a problem with using the name and gutting the spirit of a faction I was a member and leader of for years, not the reallocation of in-game assets (ships, weapons, stations, system) to a new group with a different name and new/interesting history.
