Mission skipping...
..is only allowed in case of a bug preventing the mission from being completed, which is extremely rare. From now on I will strictly apply the current cheating policy, and I will cancel any BSF with some mission skipped where 1/ there is no mention of a bug or 2/ for which no bug report has been submitted (which are to be submitted before submitting the pilot file), without any notification (until the database supports such a nice feature); the concerned battle or mission will be simply removed from your combat record. Furthermore, I am seriously considering forbidding skipping missions for ANY reason, as I have noticed too many abuses of this policy. If a mission has got a high score, maybe should you consider the possibility that someone did complete it and thus that the mission can be completed.
Uniforms and banners
Just a quick update. The process of approving and rejecting uniforms on tiecorps.org is now the sole responsibility of the Operations Office. The process of approving and rejecting new banners on tiecorps.org is now the responsibility of the Flight Office.

If your banner won't load for some reason, please e-mail the Executive Officer Sector Admiral Kawolski a copy of the banner and a copy of the error message displayed. (If you get a generic 500 error, turn off "Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages" under Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Browsing and try again)

Design a bad guy competition
There is a new competition running, "Design a bad guy". Basically the idea is to design an enemy for the EH. The best will be selected for use in future competitions. For details, go to http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/badguy/.

COMMANDER'S CORNER

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


Another month goes by, we'll have to sit and wait on the Squadron of the Month, but it's sure to be pretty close. Anyway, whatever happens, thanks to everyone for all your flying and hard work.


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

STANDING ORDERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Yes, they have finally been made official. So anyone basically not following them are 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.
