UPDATE1 Phantom ship line

[pipboy]

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.

They look better now than they did. But Jinx pretty much took the words right out of my mouth. The whole idea of them being based on Borderworld designs just doesn't fit.

As far as anyone using the Phantoms ships, several Phantoms use them yes. I'd say about a third to half of the Phantoms use the Phantom ship line.

1) There is currently no bomber, and since a lot of the Phantoms fly bombers that is a big reason you don't see them in Phantom ships.
2) There is also no gunboat, another ship that has to be taken from elsewhere.
3) The Shadow just moves really strange, ever flown it? Try flying it and you'll see what I mean. People either love it, or absolutely hate it.
4) The Penumbra is awesome, very nice. However most people just don't fly light fighters that often.
