 After contacting [[corp:nepleslian_arms_and_munitions|NAM]] for the joint venture, the Phantasm Mk. 2 was born.  It features improved shields, armoring, and internal systems that align with the mass produced parts created by NAM.  This allows for a degree of logistical synchronicity between the two nations' ships. After contacting [[corp:nepleslian_arms_and_munitions|NAM]] for the joint venture, the Phantasm Mk. 2 was born.  It features improved shields, armoring, and internal systems that align with the mass produced parts created by NAM.  This allows for a degree of logistical synchronicity between the two nations' ships.

 The ship's hull is made of two layers of [[materials:durandium]] between which is filled with compressed [[faction:freespacers:failover|shock absorbing gel]].  The dual layer set up allows the Phantasm to be more resistant to hull breaches since there is more to pierce and warp than a single layer of hull. The ship's hull is made of two layers of [[materials:durandium]] between which is filled with compressed [[faction:freespacers:failover|shock absorbing gel]].  The dual layer set up allows the Phantasm to be more resistant to hull breaches since there is more to pierce and warp than a single layer of hull.
  
-After looking at data from Nepleslian warship combat, a layer of [[materials:meridium]] armored plating was added to the hull.  To increase the ship's stealth capabilities, a layer of [[materials:zanarium]], provided by NAM, coats the meridium.  This allows the ship to sneak up on unsuspecting vessels for surprise inspections.  An additional layer of [[technology:nepleslia:aggressive_armor]] was also added to provide additional protection.  +After looking at data from Nepleslian warship combat, a layer of [[materials:meridium]] armored plating was added to the hull.  To increase the ship's stealth capabilities, a layer of [[materials:zanarium]], provided by NAM, coats the meridium.  This allows the ship to sneak up on unsuspecting vessels for surprise inspections.

-Nepleslia's [[faction:nepleslia:weapons:heavy_penetrating_vulcan|HPV]] was judged by the Intelligent Design Node to be a better point defense weapon than any existing Freespacer designs.  Given its time proven capabilities and the Freespacer preference for projectile weapons, it was an easy addition.
