An interesting anamoly you have pointed out, at the time of the switch to Phantom it was fine, as of now, it's not. It will be grounded until a new SRP is posted and will only fly if it gets approved.

Ok, that's good to know. I don't have any particular issue with it in theory, but adhering to the system is important, particularly with the factions that do need intervention to be achieved (at least in my opinion). So thank you for addressing it.

Worked for me last time. I jumped through from Omega 3 into Omega 7 in my Bowex Shetland, the Bowex)Bramall and was greeted by one Phantom Cruiser and two of their fighter things. After the initial "OSHI" moment at the realisation my BAF escort would be at that point heading back to Cambridge, and knowing I'd be dead before they could assist anyway, I decided to deal with the Phantoms solo. In my Shetland of Doom.
Basically, they dropped the lane, took my shields out, then mauled my hull. After the initial "rargh! Big scary ogre!" thing, they settled down to talk though. This was probably because I parked with my ship halfway through the lane ring and killed the engines to show I wasn't making any sudden moves though.
Then I got some solid RP. It was mostly them probing the captain for information, trying to make him turn on his own morals and question the Houses and what they'd done. After about half an hour (I think) they asked for a crew member, which I stubbornly refused to give them, because Bowex wasn't going to sell it's own employees out. After a while longer they actually caved on that demand (which was a O_O moment for me) and let me go, after forcing me to grind through all my nano gear and leaving me on one bar of health.
To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by the whole encounter, seeing as I was just expecting instant death for being a corporate transport. Although, it probably would have been instant death if they'd known it was Bowex's CEO at the helm.:P
I had a good time anyway. That was Valentine, Djiin and a cruiser I've forgotten the name of.
Maudlin.Menangerie.... or however you spell it. Bacon's old Cruiser.
That was epic! We had so much fun.
Your responses were based on whether or not we let you live too. We decided shooting you almost to death as we let you run was fair game though.
One of the top encounters I've had as we didn't actually kill you, and you played along scared for your life and your crew. Not "I'm gonna die big deal..."

:lol:I was very careful to avoid mentioning my position as Director of Operations. I thought that might not turn out too well for me. I did tell you my name though, heheh.
Why do you Guys keep killing me with two Lines of Roleplay? I'm just an innocent Planetformer, I think you are abusing the ID.
Jokes aside, you never managed to kill me. Why? Because I have never seen you at all. Only once, shame I was busy with a Gunboat when you flew away. I would like to talk to one of you at least once in my Life. I know the Phantoms are an active Faction, but where do you keep hanging around? I'd really be interested in a Confrontation in the Game.
