Emperor's Hammer Crest for X-Wing Alliance
Ever wanted to have the Emperor's Hammer logo displayed at the beginning of custom XWA missions ? Check the new official update available in the Tactical Manual. Note: you may not have the Emperor's Hammer crest displayed in old XWA battles, they still need to be updated to allow the use of custom crests.

Commodore Appointments
Congratulations to two Officers on their promotions to Commodore:

COMMANDER'S CORNER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A very quiet week, following our exploits of last month. I suppose it was too much to expect the activity to continue on the same level, but I am a little disappointed by how much it had dropped. I had hoped that everyone would at least be able to produce another BSF to go with their ECR submission, but it doesn't look like it'll be that way.

However, if you want to retain the squadron of the month title, you'll need to start working from NOW. I would guess that PI have a healthy lead already and without Wap for the foreseeable future we're all going to have to work, that bit harder.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OFFICIAL STANDING ORDERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Anyone not following these is subject to being removed.

1. I expect all FMs to contact their Flight Leaders at least once a week, either by email, ICQ or IRC etc.

2. I expect everyone to participate in all competitions, except when there is a clash with important RL events, i.e. exams, illness etc
3. I want everyone to fly at least one battle or two free missions a week, alternatively you can create graphics, write fiction or create missions as long as the effort is the same as flying a battle or mission. Competition TFRs count as double, so you only need to fly one free mission if it's for a comp.

4. Flight Leaders - You will report to me at the end of each week detailing which of members of their flight have or haven't reported in and what they've done during the past week. Also, you will pass on to me any TFRs, fiction, graphics etc. you receive from your pilots.

5. Flight leaders - You are expected to be an example to your flight members and should typify what they are trying to become. I expect regular contact from you and input into how the squadron should be run and any changes that could be made for the better.

It doesn't take long to fly 2 free missions, you can even do it on easy if you must, you only need to fly on hard when it's a comp and scores are important.
