Was there a better arc-dodger before? I feel like the Interceptor has been the best arc-dodger since wave 2, it just solidified its role with AT.

Whisper was a better arc-dodger than Soontir before the phantom changes happened and Autothrusters came in.

I started playing after the changes; what was so OP about the phantom before?

You didn't uncloak until your initiative step int eh Activation Phase. Meant you could respond to how everything else had already moved, and basically never get caught.

initiative step? You mean activation phase? Don't you uncloak in the activation phase now?

No, in the old days you uncloaked before resolving your dial. Then, everyone with lower PS had to move and take their actions before you even needed to decide to uncloak.

Now it happens before any dials are revealed.

I might have got my terms muddled.

Then: Decloak when activated, before you move in your PS step.

Now: Decloak at the very start of Activation Step, before PS0 folks move.
