WING/SHIP NEWS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not much going on on the news page, People need to fly FTIE #57. Although now it is too late to do so now.

The ship is preparing for ECR, and for the RATS Extermination contest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPETITION NEWS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Rats Extermination has returned. You need to register by emailing Mell@isdcolossus.com Only Andrew has signed up for this.

2. Competition with Tempest is due to start on the 29th. FREE TIE #24 needs to be flown. This mission is attached, so no reason not to go fly it for us!

3. ECR is here again, be ready to create graphics, fiction and to fly a battle or mission. We need 100% participation in this one so the whole ship gets extra points, the Col can then be once again crowned winners. Draw some little stick men if needed. Though in the fiction and graphic it is best if the whole Battle Group is used so be sure to mention the other Wings or to draw extra men :P

A competition with Shield Squadron is in the pipeline.

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.
