UPDATE1 Phantom ship line

[Jinx]

the "problem" with the phantoms is:


it is the only faction that is not really a faction at all. - from what i know - many members have an extended story about them - and join the faction "with their ships".

so unlike a criminal becoming BHG ( an ex corsair doesn t keep his titan - but will need to switch to a hammerhead for example ) - the phantoms keep flying their personal ships. - so you see an asortment of various ships used by that faction. - while you hardly see any genuine phantom ship ( slipstream, ravens claw, huntress )


this is very unique as a faction - and the side effect is - that the genuine phantom ships are hardly used. - so the question really is..... - are there "real" phantoms left at all? - or are most of the active members today people who joined the club with their own gear.

that is closely linked to the question - is their own shipline of use at all.



about the models themselves.


the Borderworld design shines through. - no matter if you make them pitchblack and add different wings to them - they look like an outcast went crazy on cardamine and had a go at pimping his scimitar.

they do not look scary, intimidating or in any way even dangerous. - they don t look "different" as like being of alien origin. - they just look like black painted bw ships.

something fundamental needs to be done to change them to something more exciting i believe. - - the quality of the model is OK though. - i cannot say much about the skin, cause it appears black to me. - black with a few engine grill skins.
