Admin Notice: Phantoms 2.0

[djordje_petrovic]

There are many comments and posts but verz few concrete suggestions.


As i noticed, many people understand phantoms as they are - unpredictable terrorists who pop and pew. And for true to take that away would be great setback.

We have xeno isolationists. But phantoms should have some greater agenda defined by lore. I will not discuss that lore , but i would point in RP behaviour of such organisation.

That ID should be on apply only. No phantom indies.
One more thing. Their action and ZOI could be defined via some kind of RP radiant event. So technically free to go elsewhere but they shouldnt engage ships on isolated basis incidents scatteres in space.

If official phantoms announce some operations in tau sectors because of some RP reason , then their ZOI is defined by time elapsed RP event which is initiated on forum by them or someone other.
That would make phantoms more concentrated in groups and to specific assigments and zones of operations.

I think 2 things are important.

1. Phantoms retain their agressive , stealthy , mysterious nature.
2. To define their actions with RP occurences via official faction.
2a Tagged PHantom ships cant operate in different (distant) parts of universe in same playtime.
2b Can engage ship on sight , but in boundaries of designated RP
2c Without proper RP background event or occasion, phantom vessels should not be used, or be passive.

So in whole , let we remake those terrorists again but tie them to local RP events. When tere is reason to occure they will emerge . When no reason they will be dormant.
