I have to agree with the others in that the name Phantom belongs to the original faction creators and lore. I also agree that the faction should be allowed to rest in piece as it stands. The faction was gone before I got here but their lore is still recognized by many and I have had inRP conversations with passerby's about the last time the "Black Terror's" were seen.
With that all said, if we are hell bent on bringing them back. I would like to offer this as an alternative to what's been said.
Leave the original RP only, get rid of the original ID, and run a new RP that can be taken from the old one. A fast example I came up with while looking through the thread (written in RP dairy form)...
Quote:January 11th 821A.S.
"It's been years since anyone has even heard their name in the galaxy. Their ships would appear from seeming no where and destroy all they saw. I was tasked with finding a way to counter them, finding a way to beat them, then they vanished."
"I lost it all! My funding was cut! I lost my lab, my job, my home, I lost EVERYTHING to these creatures and I never even met one!!!....Well those tables have turned now haven't they? All those years dancing between planets, looking for any information I can use and I finally struck the mother-load."
"She was wrecked badly, left adrift near the star. I doubt I would have ever found her if I hadn't been forced to hide from those damned pirates. There's hardly anything left of value, except for one thing, her computer core. Days of trying to extract anything from it has been useless, but I have managed to get one thing out of it, it's last known course. She was heading back home when she was struck! I don't recognize this course, but I don't care....all these years of waiting.....it's time for me to learn what has become of these so called "Phantoms". "
(Diary excerpt from an unnamed ex-intelligence agent)
Something like this would allow you to keep the original lore intact without having to alter it, and it can be easily adjusted to fit a variety of ideas (This was based on an obsessed ex-intel agent working a science division, it can be a freelancer who got lucky, military agents looking for new technology to win one of the many wars on this server, etc.)
If this is going to be brought back, then let us bring it back with respect to the original lore. There can be endless reasons why the phantoms suddenly stopped appearing in RP and equally as many as to why the technology, if not the original people, has found it's way back into the sector.

Play?
Christ in a breadbasket no, I'm just posting here to give Teschy something to complain about.
RE: Admin Notice: Phantoms 2.0 - Sheaim - 02-02-2014
Damn, the vets are mad.
On the other hand...
As entertaining as seeing phoon ships would be, I don't think reviving old RP is a good idea.
Yohance's idea is just one of many. Also an RP contest would be great.
I don't know though. Never seen a phantom... Shame.
RE: Admin Notice: Phantoms 2.0 - The.Wizard - 02-02-2014
Maybe something like this?
Or like this?
Hell,evan introducing DaamK'Vosh is better then Phantoms...
Knowing admins attitude i don't think they will back down from this without a fight ...
Put jump hole or two in the system,connect with Sirius and see what happens...
It'll need a lot of writing though but maybe some new blood is what this server needs?
...or not...

Of course - your memories are important to you right? The phantoms are memories to many vets.

One of the few reasons I still play - I count as a long term vet now since I have actually fun across several of them.

Anyway, I think the community opinion is rather clear.
PS: Does Cambridge suddenly umbobs itself? One day all the MOX wasteland will disappear and blue skies and deers will run around.

A memory which they abandoned, or didn't they?

Isn't memory something that is no longer present? At least that's how I would define it.
If somebody wanted to use Slaver's Union name without my permission AND turn into a Slaver abolitionist faction I would be frellin snappin too.
