Recreating the Phantoms?

[Hidamari]

why not let the faction rest in peace?




this seems to be nothing more than this.

Can a moderator clean this out of the people saying no, and trolling? That way you could see the actual interest, effort, ideas, and proposals being made.


Nobody wants to BE THE PHANTOMS.

he simply is asking about the ALREADY CODED bases and patrols and all the rest that could be ANY-FRIGGIN-THING with some pretty basic cut and paste.

Many people come here asking for special treatment and favors...... I've even done it.

WHY??? Because if you don't ask, you will never know.

This isn't about getting 'Uber-tech" nor being the most powerful in Sirius...hell it sounds like a freekin researcher faction.

The simple fact that nobody is willing to let go of an old toy and let it get recycled into something NEW, appalls me. Its not like there are major changes to be made for them, 2 systems, 2 bases, keep the current tech locked so noone has a reason to cry anymore, and make the bases get some use.

If there is never going to be Phantoms again on Disco, then why keep them around?

You guys act like Tenacity asked to sleep with your wife or something. Its a reasonable question, from a member that has been here thru think and thin for a long time. The least that could be done was the people that don't really have a thing to say one way or the other could have left it to the ones that DO to actually answer.

I personally would support this idea, and even help in anyway I could to see it done. Not so much the specific story, but to reclaim the WASTE that is the Phantoms.

The Dev team only has so much say, and the Admin team as well. The absolute END call belongs solely with Igiss. Everything else is pure speculation.

He didn't ask to sleep with our wife.

He asked if he could sleep with our dead wife, wear her clothes and that we call her by a different name but treat her the same.

Really? Is that what a fake creation in a game made for children is to you? Really?

Now I could go on, but i'm just not THAT stuck on something so truly little.

Alt troll attempt?

[dodike]

Has anybody showed a solid RP concept on how to put Phantoms gear to use yet? What is this discussion about?

[Dusty Lens]

I think we're still at the emotional appeal stage. Haven't yet moved on to chicanery or flimflam.

[Dane Summers]

Im of the mind of the majority - let the phantoms stay dead.

For one, I dont think the same sort of responsibilities can be trusted to anyone (and I do mean anyone) - unlimited ZoI terrorist faction?

Hell nah.

Did anyone actually READ what was in the first post? I mean really READ it...

NOBODY wants to Bing Back the Phantoms.

It is a matter of using otherwise, as the ENTIRE community agrees, WASTED SPACE.

The idea doesn't even include anything about Terrorist factions or even a ZOI. It was simply about using the current memory every computer connected to this mod uses already, for something that could be useful.

For the record, I'd be fine with their ships and such being given to other factions, I just dont want to see all of it go to waste rotting in a system unusable by anyone.

The system itself can be closed off easily enough, I would assume - just making the jumphole undockable or removing it entirely. The phantom base in omega 47 could be removed easily enough as well. Provide new custom models for the 3 phantom ships and hand them out elsewhere, the LSF could get their raven claw fighter back, the hackers could get their slipstream, and the huntress can go back to being a relatively generic cruiser.
