Cobra Commander Report 2-8-02
Cmdr Rambling:
Well, here’s my first report as Cobra Commander, I hope to serve you all well and help everyone accomplish what they want to do while in the Tie Corps. We’ve lost two inactive pilots to the RSV’s, SL Eirk Red and LT Kajor. I never saw anything from Eirk, but I hope Kajor revives his TC career at some point.
As you’ll notice there are two open FL spots in the squadron, I believe one of those will likely be filled from someone within the squad in the upcoming week. The other will remain open until I see someone worthy of the position to fill it.
Squadron Competitions are on hold until we get back up to 6 pilots. At that time I will begin our Ace of the Month competition. If you have any ideas I’m here for them, but I envision us using fiction/writing, SP flying, and MP flying so that all of us can compete with what we are most comfortable with.
I would be thrilled to see recruiting from members of the squad, if you know someone who may be interested in this, invite them to join the Tie Corps. Not only will you gain a Medal of Instruction when they graduate from Flight School, you can also earn rewards from myself and I’m sure the Wing Commander will appreciate it as well.

*There is now a fiction and run-on message board in the Tie Corps message boards. Those of you in the Dark Brotherhood are more familiar with this from the Krath side of things. Give it a look at http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/view.asp?b=86
Squadron/Wing Competitions:
As you all know from Dengar’s email the wing is having a mission flying contest that lasts until February 16. I have flown quite a few battles for it, the good news is that the person who flies the most XWA, XVT, or TF (hey what about X-wing WC? :D) gets an IS-BW, with the overall champion getting an IS-SW. The web site for the competition is here www.geocities.com/dengarmarch/intrepid_platform_challenge.htm
Prelude to Andevia is also being held, it’s a very cool EH-wide competition with MANY different challenges. You can compete in Single Player missions, Multiplayer Ladders, Fiction, Graphics, and other exciting challenges. The web site is here http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/prelude
