Newsletter #78 released
Yes, it's been two months today since the last newsletter was released. Due to a hard drive crash, NL #78 (August 2001 Issue) was temporarily lost, but fortunately Colonel Neo had a copy of all the submissions and I had some files backed up. The entire Newsletter was recovered save for the INPRs.
You can download NL #78 (3.73 mb) at:
http://thunder.prohosting.com/~surefire/hammer78.zip (N. America - Fast)


You can view the newsletter online at:

http://users.techline.com/hceline/hammer78/ Newsletter #79 (September 2001 Issue) will be released shortly. However, be warned that any submissions made between September 1st and September 20th were also lost, so if you don't see your submitted image or story in NL #78 or NL #79, it's not because it was rejected and it will be more than welcomed in Newsletter #80.

Knight Quest
Another good Fan Film recently released is "Knight Quest" which is about Darth Vader's hunt for the Light Jedi and takes place before A New Hope. There are some problems with the sound every now and then, but aside from that, it's a very well made (and large) fan-film with sabre and starfighter combat scenes! The hi-res version is almost 200 mb big!

You can view the movie here: http://www.theforce.net/theater/shortfilms/knightquest/index.shtml

COMMANDER'S CORNER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CMDR/LC Indaro Gallia - New Joystick = more flying.

FL/LCM Mark Schueler - Settling to life as a FL and still flying as normal.

FM/LT Trowa - Still not flying, but at least email response has improved drastically

FL/LCM Phalk Sturm - Having Internet problems, hopefully to be resolved soon.

FM/LT Zept Leeartic - No battles flown this week, perhaps I'll have some XWA battles to submit next week?

Overall: Below average, but not our worst week ever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
