Sorry for the lateness of this weeks report, I lost track of what day it was. Most of the blame for this can be laid at COL Steles door, however Ninja doesn't escape blame.
Also a little know Tiecorps officer going by the name of Paladin Mell and some unknown demon known as Mephisto Lord of Hatered.
Squadron News
Well Last wednesday saw the end of the Thunder Hunter Psi Squadron Competition. Unfortunatly we ended up losing, however the difference was so small for such a large squad. Considering Hunter is the same size as us I beleve we had an incredible result. If we continue this kind of form into our next competition I can't see us losing.
Full results can be found here: http://www27.brinkster.com/wingII/Forums
on the Psi squadron forum (please everyone sign up and start posting on an underused board)
There has been a spate of promotions recently (see wing news) Amongst them is our very own SL Cesium. He has been promoted to the Rank of LT congrats Cesium.
LCM Cahir has taken over command of flight 2 from CPT Koriel, this is at the moment a temporary arrangement.
CM Sauron Tarrke has returned from his leave so expect the usually rating and egoitism to go with it.
Still no word from a few of you about times best suiting you for a squadron meeting.
Just a quick reminder please an insults etc. used on IRC or e-mail please keep them in character, don't go out of your way to attack any member of the TC and keep an open frame of mind when reading anything.

Wargames to Start!
09:46 - VA Pel [Palinathas@aol.com]
If you are interested in playing in a War Game, the WO is proud to announce that he will run TWO games, after he returns from leave. Game 1 will be designed for beginning players, or those who want to brush up their basic skills, it will be a re-run of Imperial Storm 3, with a few small changes. Game 2 will be a more advanced game, with many more rules and options. It is intended for those who already have a firm grasp of wargaming. If you wish to participate in either of these, please send mail to VA Pel and specify which game you wish to participate in. All emails will be read after the 21st of August, when the WO returns from leave, games will start in September.

Treatment of other members...
05:05 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
In the last few weeks, we've seen a few very high profile HCI cases. The details of those cases are unimportant. What is important is the behaviour of other members in relation to those who have been tried and of the trials themselves. Behaviour such as bragging about someone being punished by the HCI or baiting those who have been tried or their friends/associates is not acceptable behaviour. Such acts show poor taste, a lack of maturity and a "sore loser" mentality where the person in question feels the need to stick in their boot to someone who is already on the ground. I've been through a trial and in itself, it's a bad experience. It's made even worse when your peers conduct themselves in this fashion. While I don't want to throw around threats, it looks like I'm left with little choice. Those found conducting themselves in the fashion I"ve outlined will be subjected to a one-month, EH-wide IRC ban. No questions, no appeals. This is your "warning". If you continue this sort of rubbish after that ban, it's trial time and then you will fully realise what the victim of your venom and mocking has gone through.
Treat other members as you yourself would want to be treated.

Here are few thingas about Sovereign bombing run blow-out mission.
You are flying a good old T/F but with shields and warheads.
I sugest taking heavy rocets.
Primary Objectives are easy, but remember to take care of the Cargo Ferries
first( they are, like ET, going home ;) let Your wingmen have some fun with
them too (reduces amount of lasers shot) and remember that all those
asteriods are also platforms to identify.
My next step was clearing the mines. Pay attention to CORT Reload, I noticed
that it was parked in a position that allowed one of the laser batteries to
shot at it - destroying on laser turret shopuld do the trick.
Enemy figters, first R-41 (they appear by two) - no match for a T/F ! :)
Then Z-95 - armed with missiles, so be more careful. However, there is a
simlpe trick - They launch from Platform Nebula 1, so I waited for them
above the platform, and once they launched (few waves, two in each) I was
just behind them and because for a short time they fly straight, it was pice
of cake :)
After identyfing all the ships and dealing with figters check witch defense
instalation is in worst condition, order your wingmen to attack it, wait a
bit and finish with a rocket - reload and repeat with next. Destroing all
enemy ships (also the second Cargo Ferry) are bonus goals.
Mission is quite easy, almost no fighters, just few asteroids (the ones with
warheads decidet to attack the ESC, so it was easy to wipe them out, all of
them ;) and mines. Plenty of reloads.
