Phantom Rants....

[Malaclypse 666]

Have you noticed how many people are on the bloody server now that it zips along? A lot of them still below killing level, and still trying to decide which way to go with their RP.

Yeah, the Phantoms are a scary lot. I always carry fresh underwear when I'm flying my trader. The only reason I don't carry it on all my chars is that most of them are on the shady side, and the Phantoms don't seem too interested in pirates and weirdos... for now..

But folk.. the fear is Delicious! The Phantoms need to continue for that reason alone.... And yeah, if it tends to "cull" a few of the newcomers because the RP seems a bit heavy for them, then that serves a valuable purpose as well. The Phantoms are a little less regulated than other pirate or outlaw groups because of their terrorist nature. That's how they were built.. that's how they work.. all perfectly legit both RP and rules-wise.

I'd miss that clenched sphincter of Phantom fear....

The Phantoms have to stay! (Plz. listen to me, guys/gals(?))

I agree, it might be heavy for some beginners to see them and to realize, there's no escape - usually.
But there are still ways to avoid contact - as to watch the comm-window and take a look, where they are.
They might be fantastic pilots - I have to proove that one day... hehe - but they can't jump systems.
If yar not ready to meet, fly a bow around them.

I disagree, they attack mostly civil targets or military targets - don't try to count 'em out - they are terrorists.
Worst thing ya can do, is trying to expect something special.
The coffee was good - civilians / bad night with cardamine - military
That doesn't work - and that's another fun-point - allways expect the unexpected.

And please..... they are the only faction following a strong and well defined RP
It would leave a big black spot at the server, if they'd be gone.....

GO ON PHANTOMS !!

(Ya still never got me..... :P )

Evading people in space is the easiest thing ever... I always wondered how is it possible for a player to hunt another player.
Space is big. Just fly off the plane and don't follow a trade route and you won't see another player... 'cept on the JH. Still, you can use many routes, not the shortest one..

I think the Phantoms have shown good restraint (though killing one BS 5 times might be a little too much...but then again what was the destroyed BS comming back for anyways?) I like the way they pick their targets: never hitting the same spot repeatedly, spreading the violence equally. I think I made a somewhat disparaging remark weeks ago about Phantoms and I regret that. Other factions should follow the Phantom example and have RP-rich fights, plan their actions and work together.

Traders have entirely too much freedom on this server in my opinion. Money is so easy to make with this game I see no reason to complain if my trader gets killed every once in a while (BTW this has yet to happen, but other CR transports have been hit.) Perhaps some people should stop waisting their money on that 3rd battleship so they can absorb the occasional piracy, or not, one load is what, 5-10 mil at best? LDinc. needs more members too, they seem to be the only smugglers around.

No, Phantoms must stay active, other pirates must be more active. Heck Pirates need to go beat on the Reinlanders, they look very frisky down there. SF needs more dedicated players, fewer ones that play both sides of the fence (CR is tired of policing.) Angels need to track down all of these new players and get them involved.

Don't leave us guys....we need the phantoms to keep us on our toes. Besides it just doesnt feel right spending hours at a time with honeycat and never getting attacked.

Meeting a Phantom has always been a great challenge and of course a LOT of fun fighting them (because they are great pilots) or trying to communicate with them ingame (because they are not very talkative).

And making complaints that a terrorist attacked you without a warning? Would you like to hear something like "Hello, I am a terrorist, can I attack you so you will no longer live?" Oh come on... :wacko:

I will definitely miss them if they disappear...

lol when i first started out on the server, i kept getting attacked by phantoms. they would always fly in a group of 3, 2 vhfs and 1 cruiser. it was kind of frustrating, being a noob and right away having to do a 3v1 pvp, but after they killed me once, they would let me get away until the next time we met. anyways, i think the phantoms should stay. they really make the server more exciting, especially for lawful chars.

While I do appreciate all the kind words here, it isn't going to change my mind.

I gave the order, and I'm d*mn well not going to pull it back after one day. We'll see how things are around...

I would give a definate time, but I think I could actually give people ulcers by not telling them exactly when. Rest assured though, we will be back.

I guess I'm not sure why it bothers someone in an RP server so much, but it really depends on the person.

The Phantom's are great. They're the only major faction facing the SF right now, and it's fun fighting against them. When you see any Phantom while trading, think of it as the perfect time for RP, what this server is named for.

If you really hate the Phantoms attacking you, check your log to see where they are, and the best way to evade them.

Another sad option would just to log off, but where's the fun in that?
