Superior Phantom ships/weapons

[FooFighter]

Obviously we have to get rid of the Phantoms, there is no way for us to do anything without being attacked for it. Choppers previous post points to the reason. In 4.84 we were attacked for using other peoples ships, we then asked for our own ship line, but no modeler wanted to make them, so ships were assigned to us because they didn't really fit elsewhere in the mod(Ask how many of us wanted the Huntress). We were attacked for using other people's weapons, so we get our own weapons and we are attacked by people. I find it interesting that the Nomads have by far the best weapons in the game, but I have yet to see a thread complaining about it. Where is that thread? Screw it, just give us water guns and starfliers, because that is what so many people here want. I always do wonder why the Phantoms get so much grief, when other factions with similar benifits do not.

I think that might be because the Phantoms are, unlike the Keepers, pretty much a PvP-oriented (if not -only) faction.

Yes, I'm well aware that you've got quite a lot of great forum RP stories. But what's about ingame-RP? I'm quite sure that most (if not all) of you are great RPers, but everytime I see a Phantom, all they do is pewpewing stuff. The Phantoms, a faction supported by superior technology, with every single member being a elite transhuman operative, bent on creating and spreading anarchy throughout the Sirius sector so their masters can take it over without too much bloodshed among their troops...it's certainly a good concept, with a lot of potential. But why do I only see the Phantoms operating as either as deathsquad or (as some may say) OORP-cleanup-tool?

How's about taking a different approach to achieve your goals? You've got plenty of resources, a good hideout...why not try out something more shadowy, secretive instead of the torture-murder-pvpwhoring (sorry, but that *is* all I've experienced from Phantoms so far)? Start to use private comms, try to manipulate people to do the work for you. Start using private comms. Work out some events that do not involve making something explode, and maybe people will complain less about you.
