well with the new support of the cloaking devices in bf2142 this ship would be awesome to pilot.

What Safe-Keeper meant with the torps is that the phantom would spot them, and some other thing would fire torps at them from a galaxy far far away...

Not the phantom itself.

It'll probably be used quite sparingly and strictly for made up/EU maps.

Phantoms aren't armed with torpedos unfortunately, and that's probably a good thing too. Otherwise, those bad boys would be hard to balance against other fighters.

It should make for one Heck of a recon fighter. Just turn it invisible as you near visual range of the enemy, do a fly-over spotting targets, and be off before your cloaking device loses its power (provided it's to be implemented in an afterburner-ish way, of course). Only problem I foresee would be that the engine noise would give you away, although I consider that a balancing feature rather than an issue to be corrected.

If the pre-programmable torpedo idea I'm pushing for is implemented, the Phantom will be even more deadly. Imagine sitting there in a tank and getting blasted by a torpedo salvo from afar because you've been spotted by a Phanton you never even saw (but perhaps heard).

It should be mentioned that this is my all time FAVORITE TIE fighter design. I'm looking forward to finding uses for it in this mod

The T.I.E Phantom was an Imperial fighter very similar in look to the V-38. Its main combat ability was its cloaking device, which made it invisible to the naked eye and presumably also to other sensory equipment. I don't know its armament, as all I've got to work on is the pretty inaccurate Rebel Assault 2.

My question is, are there plans to implement the Phantom to a later release of FS? I think I read someplace on the forum that you planned to put it in? If so, how will it work? I didn't like the idea at first, but now that I've given it thought, it seems more appealing.
