' Wrote:Read my feedback before spitting on me, thank you, bai
I thought I did. I thought I addressed your points. We're in the killing people business, not the opera writing business. That was your complaint. You also complained that our ships were overpowered. Seeing as you've obviously never flown one, I asked you to not talk about something you have no experience in. Honestly, I try to avoid the Shadow and Penumbra in real situations as much as I can. They're awful ships. And I did ask you to excuse my abrasiveness, but when the umpteenth person comes in to say "He didn't talk enough", it's really, really annoying. It's the same as someone saying that a Rogue pirating is stupid. We kill people, that's really just it.
Also, nowhere is it mandatory that someone must say "I'm going to shoot you now." Frankly, I find that kind of thinking basic. There are better ways to Roleplay killing someone. Actions speak better than words. This is especially true in space where there is no medium for sound waves to travel.

I think you need to check your facts before you type there Mr. Man. I do enjoy seeing how many people say "I love how the Phantoms can fly any ship they want." It is so far from the truth that it makes your entire statement farcical. The Phantoms are bound by our cell on the tech chart. Even though it is a bit out of date, we still have to follow it. Any Phantom ships that fall outside the tech chart restrictions have to file for Special RP requests just like any other player in the game. Note as SRPs are closed at the moment, you wont see any Phantoms getting ships that are not allowed by the tech chart for the foreseeable future.
I would really like to talk to you guys about the Phantoms using the Transhumanist Movement as a front for your operations.
See, right now Transhumanism exists as a fringe philosophy. The technology isnt there to do anything with it. But in the future, it is most certainly there. yet you look around the Freelancer universe and you dont see a whole lot of bionic people - why is that?
It is because transhumanism would be seen as abhorrent - and its practitioners involved in something akin to a cult. i am not saying that this should be the only reason for the Phantoms existance, I am saying its an ideal way to recruit some people, as well as establish inroads with legitimate scientists, governments and other organisations.
Its a bit like how the Gaians have sympathisers among Universities as well as everyday citizens.
Co-opting the cult of transhumanism means you can have an upper echelon dedicated to the ultimate cause - domination. And it also means you can have lower ranks that arent even AWARE of the true goals of the Phantoms. You could in theory have lower ranked members - or non-Phantom sympathisers - who are simple pirates or smugglers, but wanting to do jobs for you guys in return for benefiting from your cyber-tech.
If you would be willing to take on this RP concept as a semi-legit front end - you could extend some of your alliances, and even have a 'public' face (albeit a misunderstood and even reviled one).
I've put it in the chat to talk about. Sounds rather interesting. We'll most definitely consider it. :)

So, get your facts straight or get out.
i am sorry i truly misunderstood it, i want to apoligies.
I've always loved the Phantoms, always wanted to be one. However, I don't think that the recruitment thread should have been made, keep it very difficult to join. That being said, I love the Umbrage.
Well I never met many phantoms. Actualy I met around 2 or 3 only. From first impression - every single one of them is completely different from the other 2, so you don't know what to expect and you get surprises. And I like suprises (as long as they're not a lolwut battlecruiser shooting at me in point black range with no warning).
Also a word of advice - you're red on HUD, and I saw what happened in front of Crete and how all the less informed pilots decided it would be fun to call Phantoms hostiles because they were red. So be careful:P
Excuse me, gentlemen (I would add "women", but they tell me females don't play this game), but is this the proper place to ask about recruitment?
If yes, I would like to know what the approximate response time is for you folk to make a response to a recruitment post; I made one a while ago and I would like to know if silence = rejection.
Unfortunately, I cannot offer much in the form of feedback due to lack of contact, but I look forward to experiencing more of your gameplay.
well "If some guy with a phantom ID shot you for no reason and no RP and no respect and just going "lol I can shoot you", he is in the right faction. THe phantoms. That is the faction for that.".. no it aint you dont know a sh*t about them then... well IF that should happen you should really consider to take a pic..
Phantoms isnt just Pew Pew, Well THEY CAN, but not all do that, they do RP first of all, their RP is real good, and they does 99% of all their kills have a reason.
