Superior Phantom ships/weapons

[Rudo]

I've got nothing against the Phantoms aside from a couple grudging experiences of 'roleplay' I won't get into. Water under the bridge.

The only gripe I will air out is the disturbing trend to write roleplay to gain access to the best equipment in the game. I've seen a lot of Special RP Requests to fly Catamarans. I have yet to see someone place a special request to fly a Werewolf (pre-buff, it's a pvp monster now) or Waran bomber. If it's about the roleplay, then the ship's actual performance shouldn't matter.

Someone said that no one has complained about the Huntress, but the Phantoms probably won't even use it because it's a bad ship. This is very much along the lines of my previous point. If there's a roleplay need, use the thing. Or will there be a special request to 'steal and murder and eat the crew of a Hessian Cruiser' in the future?

Phantoms are far from the worst perpetrators of this abuse of special roleplay privileges, but this request for more buffs because they're supposed to be a leet cyborg strike force who can kill everything outside insurmountible odds just smacks of more of the same.

Everyone's guns got a boost this version. Phantoms got exclusive access to some great ships to use more of these guns. I'm of the opinion that this is enough.
