Superior Phantom ships/weapons

[BaconSoda]

My, oh, my, so nasty. I thought I was being quite civil....

You don't? Oh, wait, let me adjust my tone to yours.
Facts :

Phantoms don't have any ZOI limitations.
Phantoms don't have to ask traders for a fee or drop, they just shoot. And kill. And become Chuckies.
Phantoms don't have to write a word in system chat before they attack. Why? Because their RP is to kill.
And these aren't my words.

You're right. We can go anywhere. We can shoot traders without a demand. Does that mean we shun RP from traders? Not really. I'd rather not shoot Bretonians, actually, in my Phantom, because that is my RP. I'd like to see Kusari fall first. Does that mean the others do the same? I like to think so.

In your time? Who said anything about your time?

Are we talking about the current Phantoms, or the years of Phantoms that were? I like to think we can stay in the present, can't we? We're changing things now, so lets talk about now.

Remember when Phantoms were shooting all traders in Sigma-13?
Do you remember what was the 'exceptional RP' reason for it?
Yeah, because traders were abusing a bugged route. Great RP.
I mean, many people supported it, because that route was really 'OMGOORP'. But that is not an excuse.

Particularly ruining the economic foundation of the houses is the basis of Phantom RP. It's stated on the faction status page...

So, you are technologically advanced? Well I don't really know that, so I can't think that you are.
Your whole RP is blurred for RP reasons. I just know your characters have some magical powers, that's all.
So, is it a bad RP to beat a Phantom? Should we all just die because it's your RP to win?
I'v asked the same question in a 'Nomad flame thread', just for a notice.
And no, I don't think RP is better then fairplay. Fairplay keeps us all together. RP is just nice.
Fairplay was always my favorite, so no point in arguing about it with me.
If you can't RP and be fair at the same time then I don't think you should exist at all. Disappear. Harsh? Yes.
Problem is, however, when your buddy in a Sabre has full Krakens + Inferno.
And then you tell me you don't have any advantages?
I don't know for another faction that could use both Tizonas and Krakens. Not on the same ship though, but who cares?
Not even Keepers.

Well, sir, I'm actually a special case. If you'll notice my Special RP Request, I hate the Outcasts because of what they caused many Kusari to do, and forced me to do what I did though indirectly, and so I am more partial to Corsairs. You can say whatever you'd like about how I am just justifying my PvP whoring with a special RP request, but, I like to think we're better than that as a community...

Great, good for you. Why are we discussing all this then? That's all I wanted. 0%.
Now, just to take a moment to adjust my tone to the normal again. Ok, that's it.

That's why I want 0%. Not for my sake, but for your sake.
And then you can point out to that and say "Look, we wanted normal, regular guns, we're not PVP whores".
This way it will be :
"You're PVP whores"
"No we're not"
"Yes you are *points at this thread*"
"It's our RP!!!"
"Great RP,lolomgrofl"

Avoid it. Trust me.

Cheers.

This is a fine question. I'm wondering the same thing, actually. I wonder the same thing whenever a thread such as this comes up. I thought the same thing about Keeper and Phantom threads when I wasn't a part of the Phantoms. I do want to avoid that. I am working to avoid that. Strangely, I think others outside the Phantoms don't want that. It's an oddity to me, really....

I'm simply suggesting that standards should be the same for everyone. Being in an OMGLOLwehaveuberguns faction simply isn't fair when near enough every faction has some sort of claim to something damagingly special. The fact that most factions have something which could unbalance it all, would suggest that 0% is best for all.

Liberty Navy and LSF get up to all sorts of crazy experiments. They should be most powerful.
The Order have all sorts of crazy experimental tech. They should be most powerful.
The Nomads and the Wilde have their alien tech. They should be most powerful.
The BHG are stealing alien tech. They should be most powerful.
Corsairs are elite shipbuilders and tough-ass pirates. They should be most powerful.
The Rheinland Military had tech left over from the Nomad War, like cloaks. They should be most powerful.
The Bretonian Armed Forces has an invincible shield around a Nomad City in Newcastle. They should be most powerful.
The KNF have the most big research stations. They should be most powerful.
The Blood Dragons are supposed to be the best pilots in Sirius, so should have their tech make their players reflect this. They should be most powerful.
The Coalition were spying on the Manhattan Project/Secret Weapons Project/Your Mother so have access to XYZ. They should be most powerful.
The Phantoms are scary baddies. They should be most powerful.

Right, try balance all that. Who really gets to be the best? Just leave it at nobody.

RP your weapons as strong as you like, statistically, leave them as they are, or we'll be asking for infinite credits, since I'm roleplaying a character who has a mutated colon, that makes him defecate diamonds.

Well, sir, it was a simple question, and a civil one. If it's not possible, it's not possible, but, it's a better alternative than just yelling at the screen. Christ, it's like people forget that we're all playing a game sometimes...

Now, I'm going to go off to bed, and probably never posting in this again. I can see what everyone just wants to do. Have a nice night...

EDIT: Oh, the quotes worked!
