Although not usely painted purple any more, Lord of the Stars doesn't like spirits, but he loves both pelicans and phantoms, both with upgreaded similarities. Like the pelican he uses that has a tractor beam and a pulse laser added as well as the shields and repulser engines, the phantom already had the grave lift and the repulser engins and only had to be given the pulse laser and shielding.

This phantom is the second type used by Lord of the Stars as a drop ship. Having 2 gun turrets and a pulse laser it can play a great anti infantry roll. Some have plasma launchers rather then pulse lasers, some have gauss cannons rather then plasma cannons. Some times the main gun is even a partial beam cannon. But none the less this phantoms main advantage upgrade is its 3 layer shield, allowing it to take more of a hit in hazardous situations.

1 of these can carry a tank, infantry supplies, and 38 troops. 2 of these is 38 + 38 being 76.

10 of these can bring in a torpedo boat destroyer or a missile creaser, or even a corvette for space to sea surface combat deployment. 8 of these can land a scarab. It takes 4 or 5 shots from a inexpensive 90mm bullet to shoot down one once the shields are down, and the shields recharge after 7 minuets.

They may be great for anti ground unit attacks but in air combat they need support from fighters, as they can't shoot upwards.

Their tractor beam, or, gravity lift has the advantage that they can pick up cargo or passengers from 386 feet in the air with out having to actually land. They can also use that gravity lift to pick up a destroyed tank and drop it ontop of a enemy. --. User:Lord of the STARS AKA Best pirate of the Galaxy! 19:39, August 16, 2014 (UTC)
