December is here, with finals and all that fun stuff! :P
FLEET NEWS:
-----------
-Commodore Appointments
10:20 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Congratulations to two Officers on their promotions to Commodore:
Rear Admiral Darklord - ISD Challenge
Rear Admiral Grail SoulChaser - ISD Subjugator
Both are proven Flag Officers, and I'm sure they'll enjoy every success in their new positions.
-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/.
-The EH Codex has been updated, get all of your EH info there.
-We now have 2000 missions in the compendium, yay! Fly 'em. :-)
-AD Adren awarded GOE, congrats Adren.
WING/SHIP NEWS:
---------------
-PRIORITY BRAVO-TWO: The Wing IX Top Gun competition started yesterday!! The mission is TIE-FREE #114. So everyone strap on their helmets and get in the cockpit. Your pilot files are due by December, 10th!!
-To reiterate what Krax says, the SSO's clearly state that weekly reports and monthly self-evaluations are required from all pilots. Most of you have been very good about this, but a couple have lagged, this reflects negatively on you come evaluation time. Your comments are valuable and do you really want me to be the only one to comment on you? :-P
SQUADRON NEWS:
----------------
-I want to thank everyone in this squad for leading Hammer to the top of the beat version of Krax's WCO. We dominated the standings!! Now that we have the taste for victory, it's time to create a dynasty. I don't want that plaque to leave Hammer for a very, very long time. So everyone, hit the cockpits and participate in competitions as they pop up!!
-MSE's will be submitted after I'm done with this report.
