Argon Phantom in AP

[Bill Huntington]

I just took a close look at the Argon Phantom in AP. It's a TP with speed of 180, 5 x 25 shields, and a big cargo bay. It's not quite as fast as an Iguana Vanguard but it's close. I'll use it for transport missions if I don't have an Iguana yet.

Anyone find any novel uses for it?

This isn't novel, but that speed and shielding make it a favorite for spacewalk boarding.

Pretty much my favourite TP+, as it has (in my opinion) very stylish looks (actually looks like it should be a fighting ship, with its lines.) The Terran Many is a bit faster, but I find it quite unattractive-looking. The Split Ocelot is the fastest and does have excellent looks, in my opinion - it seems to have "Dragon blood" in it, so to speak...

As for uses for such ships - in addition to being great for spacewalk boarding, they're also excellent recruitment ships, as they can do the rounds of whatever Military Outposts etc that you want to in no time at all. Also, it makes a decent (if rather over-the-top) spaceweed delivery vehicle (perhaps booze, too, but I haven't looked at the cargo numbers for that - spacefuel is more volume-intensive than the wacky-baccy.)

An excellent prison/slaver/pleasure-palace ship if you are role-playing such aspects in your game.
