The Phantoms present a vast opportunity for anyone who can take it and make it work.
I also feel that once you have disbanded a faction you give up any rights in regards to that ID.
Sure it would be nice to talk to the previos holders but that would be for insperation and out of courtesy.
Prysin, go troll elsewhere, please. Or do you have any proof backing up my involvement with strictly pvpwhoring factions? If you do, I'd be inclined to see it, and until that happens I'll stick to the spying scheme, thank you.
Sucks to be a weight on the wrong side of the brilliance-insanity scale.
No I concur the original idea's and reasoning of the group would hardly be portrayed and you'd have better luck creating the RP under a new name.
The faction was a legendary unto itself. Just as same as no one could ever fill the spot for Mon'star or his vessel.
At times "ohemm" as an engagement noticed put a sore spot in their RPing abilities. And fair not my approval even by the most laxed standards of knowing little of their RP lore.
If you want to have a group that mirror the ideology assume a new name for it. For the last encounter I had with them their idealism is easily reformed and re transcribed into newer prospective. (Which by the way was the best encounter I had in all 3 years of playing and having encounters with them.)
sometimes a story simply ends. yes, i'm talking about you, wannabees. any 'fresh', 'new' and / or 'innovative' idea can be jump-started without terrorist ID's and ahrimans.
Why do you people do stuff like this? I REPEAT, I DO NOT WANT TO WHORE AROUND USING PHANTOM GUNS. I had an idea about making them an elite espionage faction solely cause:
1. The name has a certain buzz to it, and should mean something. Yes, people do remember them as death-dealing warmongering bloodthirsty psychopaths, but they haven't been doing this for a while now. Which means the image has slowly faded. Now it might be time for a rebirth into a different sort of faction, no?
2. Their SHIPS look awesome and fit a spy role, being black and all stealthy-like. Who gives half a john about Ahrimans and Lamias? If you think I'm in it for the guns, fine, I'll own a ship kitted ONLY with debs and flashpoints, nothing more. I'm interested in the MASSIVE roleplay opportunities offered by the Phantoms. And I mean MASSIVE.
3. I'm sick of pvpwhoring factions and factions that have the right to kill on sight without a word, and personally, if I were given a chance to try out this kind of faction, I'd plea to the admins that the ID be modified so that the Phantoms can not attack unless in self-defence and they no longer be marked terrorists.

Ok nerf the guns to 1700 dps flashpoint like, the ships are already nerved, nerf the ID that you can attack only in sef defence and here you go, if the idea works why not? Removing the bases and the whole phantom story will be pity, the ways of the previous phanotm faction wasn't the right ones as it seems, but dont expect that someone will give you the phanotms in their pvp able form now.

You would rp for a bit then some pvp-whore joins and suddenly you gonna start pewpew'in JUST cuz your ID permitt it.
Once pvp-whorin you gonna keep ''recruiting'' pvp-whores to keep ahead of the other pvp-whores that will be after you
RoS already exist.
On a side note, no, don't use the phantom stuff. even if your intentions are different, and not just use their toys, it still make you look like wannabes, create a new faction, and RP your own line, that can occasionly be similar to the phantom one. Or that you stole ship and reverse engineered it... creativity...
As I stated, and will repeat, I DO NOT CARE about flashy ahrimans and lamias. Yes, revert the guns to 1700 dps. Yes, the ships are crap (but look awesome). And I DO NOT CARE about people thinking we're wannabes. There are so many wannabe factions out there that it hurts me to think about it, and fact is that whatever this faction would do, it would be FAR from what the Phantoms did. Now, I don't even care about the shrines or whatever the bases are called, as far as I'm concerned, they can have an Umbrage as a mobile HQ.

I wanted my Grizzly to join Phantoms so I could demand more cargo with it! Buehehehe! I mean come on, who can resist Phantom Grizzly?! That sounds frightening enough itself.
