I used to play discovery back in the day, back in 4.84. I flew around in what became the phantom line of ships a fair bit because they looked awesome. Back when the fighters were open market and the cruiser was a corsair one.
So as the phantoms disappear for reason ???, will the ships still be available for use? That and the bases. I mean as they are the bases of the phantoms are pretty damn cool and the ships are amazingly cool as well. It would be a shame to see something that was awesome and then was yanked away from the general playerbase because it was so cool, then was made into something that only elitists could have be removed from the game entirely when the faction disbands. I mean from what I can gather the phantoms are just disappearing. and I am all for that. But will we get out cool ships back?
And use them for what?
I dont find "cool" OP ships and guns. Because they are "cool" only for the people who use them vs the others, the others feel really "uncool" about that.
Anyway if you come up with some good RP idea use other civilian ships to realise it both in forum and game, keep good number of people involved it, then after a while you might try to become official and ask for the phantom bases/ships after rebalancing them and change the infocards and IDs in order not to allow mindless PvP whoring around. If you find them so "cool" try to RP even if you dont have the gear for it, on my mind comes religious sect or something similar- monks who are spilling propaganda all around Sirius with ID that allows them to attack only in self-defence for example, and yes then you can RP as much as you wish, you dont need ship models to RP.
As far as I understood from 57648648 topics of this kind they wont be back in their form for now, and their future is uncertain.

The Phantoms are not that dead, yet. Their members are lurking I'm sure. Just because they've gone inactive doesn't mean their tech and ships become open use. That's why we have the tech chart.
Actually only the guns were OP from the Phantom gear, not the ships. And the guy is just talking about 4.84's Slipstream and Raven's Claw. I still remember them, the Raven was my first real VHF on the server.
As for getting those stuff back? Well, I don't believe they'll make them open use again. Not in 4.86 atleast. Also while the models were cool, the textures were a bit "meh" in my opinion.
Oh and Govedo, don't be so harsh, I'm sure BAF doesn't appreciate Molly Odins either.:P

I guess then it will be deleted from this server ( dunno how that would work though ) or there will be the final statement of Phantom stuff being gone for an 'indefinite amount of time'
I guess that is happening for good.
People should always remember: If you are flying a char with Terrorist-ID of some kind, PvP will come for you, not you to the PvP, if that makes any sense.
Nope. Since the same version of Discovery mod is shared and used amongst multiple servers, if you make a change to the mod according to one server then others using the same version will have it too.
Besides, the stuff doesn't take up that much space in the mod so it's better to leave it redundant in case someone want to pick it up in the future.
Well here's an idea, make them junker elite ships.They're described as failed prototypes on their info-cards, so it seems reasonable that the junker elite pilots managed to salvage some or maybe got the blueprints. Of course you'd have to change the textures and maybe nerf them a bit.
