Phantom Empire Faction Feedback

[Primus Avatar]

I had a strange encounter with a Phantom yesterday. Name isn't important. He attacked my Sentient Machine unit, claiming that it is of Junker origin. The Sentient Machine Alliance [SMA] is an official faction with AI ID and Junker IFF, however, we are more likely to be originating from the zoners than the Junkers. We were granted the use of the Junker IFF only because of the current game mechanics tied to our playstyle.

I can't expect everyone to know every Official faction there is, its easy to forget even if you do. However, I'd like to formally request that you take this information into consideration the next time the phantoms interact with the SMA. You might remember that the Coalition used to have Xeno tags (but they were not Xeno) and that the Colonial Remnant used to have IMG tags, yet they were not miners. We are not junkers, yet we use their tag because of the convenient rules that come with it. (until / if we get our own tag one day)

Important notes:

1) I'm not complaining about the attack. He had every right to attack and destroy me.
2) When i was explaining that i was not built by Junkers, I didn't try to force him to stop attacking, i just wanted him to remember that small segment of our roleplay.
3) The SMA are aware of the Phantoms, and even though we never actually attempted to wage war against them, all units are considering them hostile and are attempting to avoid conflict.

All I'm asking is that you stop calling us Junkers.

The thing I was most displeased about was the OORP line of that individual, telling me to "watch my IFF"
Please be considerate, and a bit more professional.
